"The pace of progress at Alpha Tau today is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before," said Alpha Tau Chief Executive Officer Uzi Sofer. "With a slew of meaningful announcements in the past few months, culminating most recently with our receipt of marketing approval in Japan, our first outside of Israel, and with multiple meaningful milestones targeted for the coming months, we remain laser focused on execution. Clinical trial progress remains our highest priority, with an astounding five clinical trials approved in parallel in the U.S. At the same time, we continue to build out our manufacturing capabilities in New Hampshire as well as our pre-commercial preparations, while entertaining multiple tracks of strategic dialogue with partners who show increasing excitement about the ever-expanding prospects for Alpha DaRT."
Recent Corporate Highlights:
● Commercial-Scale U.S. Manufacturing Milestone: In October, Alpha Tau announced the receipt of a radioactive material license for its New Hampshire manufacturing facility, its first commercial-scale facility. The license paves the way for the introduction of radioactive material and continued positive momentum toward initiating Alpha DaRT treatment manufacturing onsite in 2026. Total expected nameplate capacity from the first phase of construction is approximately 400,000 Alpha DaRT sources for local use, subject to a number of operational and clinical assumptions.
● FDA Approval to Start Prostate Cancer Trial: In December, Alpha Tau announced that the FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to initiate a pilot study for the treatment of patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer using the Company’s Alpha DaRT technology. According to the National Cancer Institute, over 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer were expected to be diagnosed in 2025, and clinical literature indicates that up to 15% of patients treated with external beam radiation therapy can develop local recurrence within 15 years of treatment. The clinical trial is expected to enroll up to 12 U.S. patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer who have demonstrated biochemical recurrence by the Phoenix definition (a rise of PSA levels by 2 ng/mL from the PSA nadir).

● First Patient Treated in U.S. Brain Cancer Trial: In December, Alpha Tau treated its first patient in its pilot study for the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) using the Alpha DaRT technology. According to the National Brain Tumor Society, glioblastoma is one of the most complex, deadly, and treatment-resistant cancers, with an estimated average survival rate of only 8 months, and this pilot study is a key part of Alpha Tau’s broader strategy to bring Alpha DaRT to cancer patients with some of the highest unmet needs.

● First Module Submitted to FDA as Part of Application for Marketing Authorization in Skin Cancer: In January, the Company announced the submission of the first module of its pre-market approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following the FDA’s previous decision to allow the Company to use the more flexible modular approach. The Company submitted the module with respect to non-clinical studies as part of an application for the use of Alpha DaRT in treating recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the second most common form of skin cancer, for patients not indicated for surgery or standard radiation therapy, and for whom no curative systemic treatment is available.
● New Positive Data in Pancreatic Cancer Presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper): In January, investigators from the Company’s first-in-human pancreatic cancer study in Montreal, Canada exploring the use of Alpha DaRT in treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) were awarded two separate presentations at the 2026 ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium showcasing results from the trial. The results demonstrated a 22% objective response rate (ORR) and an 81% disease control rate (DCR) across all 32 patients treated in the study, or 23% ORR and 87% DCR when excluding the first two patients, who were deliberately given low dosages in order to examine feasibility and safety only. In addition, investigators presented results showing the immune-preserving profile of Alpha DaRT in PDAC, based on immune markers as well as inflammatory indices known to be negative prognostic indicators, and which typically worsen after other forms of radiation therapy.
● Received Marketing Approval in Japan for Head and Neck Cancer: In February, Alpha Tau announced the receipt of Japanese marketing approval for Alpha DaRT in unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent head and neck cancer, marking the first regulatory approval of the Alpha DaRT platform outside Israel. As part of the approval, Alpha Tau will need to conduct a post-market surveillance (PMS) study enrolling 66 patients in total at five selected leading clinical centers in Japan, and the Company’s immediate focus is on working closely with Japanese clinicians to complete the PMS study and to generate high-quality clinical data in patients with unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent disease.
Expected Upcoming Milestone Targets:
● Completion of patient recruitment in the ReSTART pivotal U.S. multi-center trial in recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma at the end of Q1 2026. For more information, please see here: View Source
● Completion of patient recruitment in pancreatic cancer pilot study in the U.S. in Q2 2026. For more information, please see here: View Source
● Initial safety readout from the first three patients in the recurrent GBM trial in Q2 2026, and completion of patient recruitment in the second half of 2026. For more information, please see here: View Source

About Alpha DaRT
Alpha DaRT (Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy) is designed to enable highly potent and conformal alpha-irradiation of solid tumors by intratumoral delivery of radium-224 impregnated sources. When the radium decays, its short-lived daughters are released from the sources and disperse while emitting high-energy alpha particles with the goal of destroying the tumor. Since the alpha-emitting atoms diffuse only a short distance, Alpha DaRT aims to mainly affect the tumor, and to spare the healthy tissue around it.
