Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: ATNM) is expanding its radiotherapeutic platform beyond hematologic cancers with ATNM-400, a next-generation candidate designed to deliver targeted radiation against B7-H3, an immune-checkpoint molecule highly expressed across multiple solid tumors. B7-H3 overexpression is linked to tumor aggressiveness, immune evasion, and treatment resistance, making it an increasingly important target. By pairing this biology with its radiotherapy expertise, Actinium Pharmaceuticals is positioning ATNM-400 to address large and persistent unmet needs in solid tumors.
Phase 1 Clinical Evaluation in South Africa
ATNM-400 is now being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in South Africa. The study is designed to assess safety, biodistribution, and early signs of activity in patients with advanced, B7-H3–expressing solid tumors. This work represents a key milestone for Actinium Pharmaceuticals as it advances into solid-tumor radiotherapy and generates the foundational clinical data needed to guide dose selection and future expansion.
Relevance to Breast Cancer
Recent communications from ATNM emphasize the need for precision therapies in aggressive or treatment-resistant breast cancers. B7-H3 is commonly overexpressed in breast tumors—including hard-to-treat subtypes—and is associated with poorer outcomes. ATNM-400’s mechanism is directly aligned with this challenge: targeted delivery of potent radiation to B7-H3–positive tumors while sparing healthy tissue. This creates a strategic fit between the biology of B7-H3 in breast cancer and the company’s radiotherapy platform.
Application in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Actinium Pharmaceuticals has also highlighted similar hurdles in non–small cell lung cancer, where relapse rates remain high and effective late-line therapies are limited. B7-H3 expression is elevated in a large proportion of NSCLC cases and contributes to immune escape and reduced treatment responsiveness. ATNM-400’s targeted radiotherapy approach has the potential to address these gaps, offering a differentiated mechanism suited to tumors that fail standard therapies.
Building a Solid-Tumor Radiotherapy Pipeline
By combining a broadly expressed solid-tumor antigen with its established radiotherapeutic platform, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: ATNM) is taking its first major step into solid tumors. The Phase 1 South Africa trial serves as the gateway to a pipeline that could expand across multiple high-burden indications. If clinical data validate the preclinical rationale, ATNM-400 could become the foundation of a broader B7-H3–directed radiotherapy strategy spanning breast cancer, NSCLC, and other solid malignancies.
