ATNM‑400: Program and Multi-Indication Opportunity Overview
ATNM-400 is a first-in-class antibody-radioconjugate powered by Actinium-225 (Ac-225), designed to deliver potent alpha-particle radiation directly to tumor cells. The therapy's high linear energy transfer (LET) enables precise tumor cell killing with minimal off-target exposure, while its target - a disease-driving protein linked to resistance and poor prognosis - is overexpressed across multiple solid tumors, including prostate, lung, and breast cancers.
Preclinical studies show ATNM-400 delivers best-in-class efficacy, overcomes resistance to, and synergizes with, standard-of-care therapies, supporting broad development as a monotherapy, combination, or treatment alternative across multiple solid tumors.
Prostate Cancer Data Highlights
NSCLC Data Highlights
ATNM-400 Data Afford Development Opportunities in High-Value, Unmet Need Indications
The data package for ATNM‑400 across breast cancer, prostate cancer and NSCLC underscores Actinium's intention to demonstrate the potential for this radiotherapy candidate to address unmet needs in high‑value cancer segments. Data from preclinical studies thus far show ATNM-400 delivers best-in-class efficacy, overcomes resistance to, and synergizes with, standard-of-care therapies, supporting broad development as a monotherapy, combination, or treatment alternative across solid tumors. Key development opportunities based on the data include:
Breast Cancer: Potential in hormone‑resistant (tamoxifen) and HER2‑resistant (trastuzumab) patients, which represents a significant therapeutic opportunity with the HER2-targeted therapy Herceptin® (Roche and biosimilars) generating approximately $4.0 billion in sales in 2024.
Prostate Cancer: Broad use potential as a monotherapy, combination, or follow-on to ARPIs and PSMA radioligands; opportunity in the $10 billion ARPI market and Pluvicto non-responders or relapses who on balance might be expected to outnumber the patients treated with Pluvicto which generated $1.7 billion in revenue over the last twelve months.
Non-Small Cell lung Cancer: Superior anti-tumor activity compared to the leading first, second and third-Line approved EGFR mutant therapies that generated sales of over $7.0 billion in 2024 and mechanistic synergy with first-line therapy osimertinib, which accounted for approximately $6.6 billion in sales in 2024.
Sandesh Seth, Chairman and CEO of Actinium Pharmaceuticals, commented, "We're excited to present ATNM-400's breast cancer data at SABCS which expands our demonstration of its potential across multiple solid tumors. The strong single-agent efficacy of ATNM-400 and its ability to overcome resistance when coupled with enzalutamide (Xtandi®) in prostate cancer and osimertinib (TAGRISSO®) in lung cancer showcases Actinium's capability for innovation by exploiting the power of a radiotherapeutic directed to a target linked to resistance and poor prognosis. We believe that this program has the potential to meaningfully improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers and look forward to the data at SABCS".
About ATNM-400
ATNM-400 is a highly innovative, first-in-class, and multi-indication Actinium-225 (Ac-225) targeted radiotherapy candidate in development for prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer. ATNM-400 is highly differentiated in prostate cancer as it targets a distinct non-PSMA protein strongly implicated in prostate cancer disease biology including progression and treatment resistance. Unlike 177Lu-PSMA-617, the active agent in Pluvicto® and the majority of radiotherapies under development, which rely on PSMA targeting, ATNM-400 is designed to maintain efficacy in low-PSMA or high-PSMA resistant disease, a major unmet clinical need as up to 30% of patients do not respond to PSMA radioligand therapies and up to 60% of patients have at least one PSMA-negative tumor lesion. Ac-225 delivers high-linear-energy-transfer alpha particles that induce irreparable double-strand DNA breaks, offering superior potency over beta emitters like Lutetium-177 (177Lu), and has a shorter tissue path length that may reduce off-target toxicity. The receptor specifically targeted by ATNM-400 continues to be expressed at a high level even after androgen receptor inhibitor (ARPI) and ATNM-400 has shown to overcome resistance to the ARPI therapy enzalutamide and work synergistically in combination with enhanced tumor control including complete tumor regression. In NSCLC, ATNM-400 has shown superior efficacy compared to approved first, second- and third-line EGFR therapies including small molecules, antibody drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies that is synergistic with osimertinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is a standard of care therapy approved for treatment of patients in the frontline setting and is also able to overcome osimertinib resistance.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men, with ~1.5 million new cases globally and over 313,000 expected in the U.S. in 2025. While early-stage disease is typically managed with surgery, radiation, and ARPI therapy, up to 20% of cases progress to mCRPC - a lethal stage with limited treatment options. Targeted radiotherapy is a growing field in prostate cancer, dominated by PSMA-targeting agents like Pluvicto®, which had sales of over $1.3 billion in 2024, yet up to 30% of patients either lack or have no PSMA expression and virtually all patients develop resistance to Pluvicto® within 1-year. In the U.S., 40,000–60,000 mCRPC patients annually progress after ARPI therapy with approximately 35% of patients progressing within 1-year. As a class, ARPI therapies had sales of over $10.0 billion in 2024 including enzalutamide (Xtandi®) that led the class with sales of over $5.9 billion in 2024, highlighting a significant unmet need. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths and there are there are over 200,000 new cases expected in the U.S. in 2025 and over 2 million cases globally. NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases. EGFR targeting therapies including front-line osimertinib (Tagrisso®, AstraZeneca) an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), second-line Dato-DXd (Datroway®, AstraZeneca/Daiichi Sankyo) a Trop-2 ADC, and third-line amivantamab (Rybrevant®, Johnson & Johnson) an EGFR-cMET bispecific had sales of approximately $7 billion in 2024 with the EGFR TKI Osimertinib (TAGRISSO®, AstraZeneca) generating sales of $6.6 billion in 2024. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among woman in the United States with approximately 316,950 women expected to be diagnosed with the disease in 2025 according to the National Cancer institute. It is estimated that approximately 200,000 women are living with metastatic breast cancer in 2025, which is expected to grow to 250,000 in 2030. Of those diagnosed, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer accounts for 70-75% of breast cancer, representing the largest subtype. In this setting, tamoxifen and trastuzumab (Herceptin®, Roche and biosimilars) generated sales of approximately $4.0 billion in 2024. Across prostate cancer, NSCLC and breast cancer, ATNM-400 has demonstrated treatment paradigm changing potential in these indications, which have over 800,000 new cases in the U.S. alone.
About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Actinium is a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies intended to meaningfully improve patient outcomes. ATNM-400, Actinium's lead product candidate, is a novel, first-in-class, and multi-indication Actinium-225 (Ac-225) in development for prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer. The antigen specifically targeted by ATNM-400 is highly expressed in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), contributes directly to disease progression, poorer survival outcomes, and continues to be expressed at a high level even after androgen receptor inhibitor (ARPI) and Pluvicto® treatment. ATNM-400 is supported by preclinical data demonstrating tumor-specific uptake, higher efficacy than androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide (Xtandi®) and 177Lu-PSMA-617 radiotherapy, the active agent in Pluvicto®, durable tumor control and potent efficacy in prostate cancer models resistant to both enzalutamide and 177Lu-PSMA-617. In addition, ATNM-400 has demonstrated synergy with enzalutamide. In NSCLC, ATNM-400 showed superior efficacy to EGFR targeting therapies including osimertinib (TARGRISSO®, AstraZeneca), Dato-DXd (DATROWAY®, AstraZeneca/Daiichi Sankyo) and amivantamab (RYBREVANT®, J&J) with synergistic activity in combination with osimertinib. In breast cancer, Actinium has been studied in hormone and HER-2 resistant settings with data to be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December 2025. The data generated to date with ATNM-400 supports its potential across treatment settings to be used either as a monotherapy, or in combination or sequenced with other therapies. Actinium's most advanced product candidate in development is Actimab-A, a CD33 targeting therapeutic, that is a potential backbone therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other myeloid malignancies leveraging the mutation agnostic alpha-emitter radioisotope payload Actinium-225 (Ac-225). Actimab-A has demonstrated potential activity in relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML) patients in combination with the chemotherapy CLAG-M including high rates of Complete Remissions (CR) and measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity leading to improved survival outcomes and is being advanced to a pivotal Phase 2/3 trial. In addition, Actinium is engaged with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for development of Actimab-A in AML and other myeloid malignancies. The first clinical trial under the CRADA will evaluate the triplet combination comprised of Actimab-A, Venetoclax (Abbvie/Roche) an oral Bcl-2 inhibitor and ASTX-727 (Taiho Oncology, an Otsuka holdings company) a novel oral hypomethylating agent (HMA) in frontline acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Additionally, Actinium is developing Actimab-A as a potential pan tumor therapy in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors including KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO® by depleting myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which represents a potential multi-billion-dollar addressable market. Iomab-ACT, Actinium's next generation conditioning candidate, is being developed with the goal of improving patient access and outcomes for potentially curative cell and gene therapies. Iomab-B is an induction and conditioning agent prior to bone marrow transplant in patients with r/r AML, which Actinium is seeking a potential strategic partner for the U.S. In addition, the company's R&D efforts are primarily focused on advancing several preclinical programs for solid tumor indications. Actinium holds approximately 240 patents and patent applications including several patents related to the manufacture of the isotope Ac-225 in a cyclotron.
