Long description:

Alpha-9 Theranostics is a clinical stage company developing highly selective, peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment. Their treatments are developed with a binder, linker, chelator, and radioisotope, giving them high selectivity for delivering radiation to cancer cells with minimal off-target effects. Their developed molecules are optimized for imaging, dosimetry, and therapy studies to evaluate the tumor uptake and dose delivery, as well as determine the optimal patient population. Alpha-9 Theranostics was founded in 2019 by researchers in British Columbia to improve the lives of people with metastatic cancers. Alpha-9 Theranostics’ new research facility in Vancouver was completed in 2023, housing chemistry, biology, and radiochemistry R&D teams to accelerate their discovery efforts.
