As part of its effort to develop innovative treatments for people living with rare cancers, Sanofi has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with RadioMedix, Inc.

A US clinical-stage biotechnology company developing radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging and targeted alpha therapy (TAT) against unmet medical needs in cancer, and Orano Med, a French clinical-stage biotechnology company, subsidiary of the Orano Group, developing lead-212 (212Pb) radioligand therapies (RLTs) against cancer. This collaboration between Sanofi, RadioMedix and Orano Med focuses specifically on the late-stage project, AlphaMedix (212Pb-DOTAMTATE), which currently is being evaluated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive somatostatin-receptor expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a rare cancer. AlphaMedix is a TAT which consists of a somatostatin receptor-targeting peptide complex radiolabeled with lead-212 (212Pb) that serves as an in vivo generator of alpha particles.
