About Oncoinvent
Oncoinvent is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel radiopharmaceutical therapies against cancer. The lead product candidate, Radspherin®, uses the alpha-emitting radionuclide radium-224, directly targeting micro-metastases in the peritoneum post-surgery, harnessing the benefits of modern radiopharmaceuticals without the complexities of biological targeting. Oncoinvent is investigating the safety and efficacy of Radspherin® in a clinical development program in two indications. One Phase 1 trial and one Phase 1/2a trial have been completed and one randomized Phase 2 trial in ovarian cancer is currently ongoing in the US and Europe. Early clinical efficacy data are highly encouraging, and no serious toxicity or safety concerns have been reported to date. Oncoinvent runs a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to produce drug products for clinical trials in Nydalen, Oslo. Oncoinvent is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The drug candidate offers a distinctly unique therapeutic approach with several differentiating features, including the use of radium-224, single-dose treatment with a sustained therapeutic effect, non-systemic administration, direct targeting and an exceptional dose-to-tumor ratio, maximizing efficacy while limiting harm to healthy tissue
