Alpha Tau said it has successfully completed its first-in-human clinical trial of Alpha DaRT – a radiation cancer therapy – with squamous cell carcinoma patients from Italy and Israel.
It is now conducting trials in other sites, such as its first US trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, a pancreatic cancer trial at CHUM in Montreal and trials at three academic institutions in Japan.
The company, it said, is also establishing new manufacturing facilities in Israel and elsewhere.
