Alpha Tau Medical Releases Final Results from Pancreatic Cancer Study
Alpha Tau Medical announced the release of final results from its first-in-human pancreatic cancer study in Montreal, Canada exploring the use of Alpha DaRT in treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, PDAC. The results have been published as two abstracts and will be presented at the upcoming 2026 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, January 8 - 10, 2026. Study Principal Investigator Corey Miller, MD, MSc, Director of Therapeutic Endoscopy of the Division of Gastroenterology of the JGH, Assistant Professor of Medicine at McGill University, Associate Researcher at the Lady Davis Institute, will lead a presentation entitled "Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Alpha Radiotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Pilot Study" with final clinical results of the Company's trial. In the trial, 32 patients with Stage II, III or IV PDAC were treated, many of whom had one or more prior rounds of chemotherapy. The results demonstrate a 22% objective response rate and an 81% disease control rate 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.
