Radioligand therapeutics are an emerging modality that can deliver radiation directly to tumor cells via highly selective targeting agents. Under the MRA, Alloy will provide access to its proprietary antibody discovery and engineering platforms, while Swiss Rockets and Torpedo will apply their radioisotope and radiopharmaceutical development expertise – including the use of Terbium-161 – to advance prioritized targets toward clinical development.
Collaboration highlights:
Multi-target oncology collaboration spanning discovery, engineering, and radiopharmaceutical development.
Access to Alloy’s enabling technologies for antibody discovery and optimization to generate high-quality targeting agents.
Torpedo-led radiochemistry, isotope integration, and translational development to advance RLT candidates toward the clinic.
"This agreement reflects Swiss Rockets’ strategy to unite cutting-edge discovery technologies with our translational and radiotherapeutic expertise. Together with Alloy, we aim to accelerate the emergence of next-generation cancer therapies through scientific and entrepreneurial collaboration. It exemplifies how strategic partnership and scientific innovation can speed the development of transformative oncology medicines," said Dr. Vladimir Cmiljanovic, Chief Executive Officer of Swiss Rockets AG and Torpedo Pharmaceuticals AG.
"Radioligand therapeutics represent an exciting frontier in oncology, and this partnership reflects Alloy’s broader mission to democratize access to enabling technologies and work with founders advancing breakthrough science," said Errik Anderson, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Alloy Therapeutics. "We’re excited to collaborate with Swiss Rockets and Torpedo to help build a robust radioligand therapeutics capability that combines our discovery platforms with their radiotherapeutic infrastructure to deliver meaningful innovation for patients."
The parties intend to apply this framework to generate novel RLT candidates for high-value oncology targets and to accelerate translation from discovery into development-ready programs.
