AtomVie Global Radiopharma Delivers First Dose in Clinical Study of 177Lu-BetaBart
On February 24, 2026, AtomVie Global Radiopharma, a leading global radio-pharmaceutical CDMO, achieved a major milestone by supplying the first successful dose to a patient in the Phase 1/2a clinical trial of Radiopharm Theranostics’ 177Lu-BetaBart (RV-01). This significant advancement in cancer treatment highlights AtomVie’s commitment to providing high-quality radiopharmaceuticals promptly for innovative therapies.
Bruno Paquin, CEO of AtomVie, expressed the importance of this achievement, stating, "Administering the first dose of 177Lu-BetaBart to patients underscores our primary focus on ensuring the timely manufacture, launch, and delivery of high-quality radio-pharmaceuticals, facilitating patient access to groundbreaking therapies without unnecessary delays. Our team is dedicated to operational excellence and reliability, supporting our partners from initial clinical development through global supply."
The Phase 1/2a clinical study is designed as a dose-escalation and expansion trial to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the 177Lu-BetaBart, with the aim of recommending a suitable dose for future studies. 177Lu-BetaBart (RV-01) is a monoclonal antibody conjugated with Lutetium-177, targeting the isoform 4Ig of B7-H3, a checkpoint molecule over-expressed in various solid tumor types.
Riccardo Canevari, CEO of Radiopharm Theranostics, noted the significance of the first patient dose in the Phase 1/2a study, saying, "The administration of BetaBart to the first patient represents a critical milestone for Radiopharm Theranostics. We appreciate AtomVie’s manufacturing expertise and commitment to quality as we develop BetaBart for patients with aggressive and hard-to-treat solid tumors."
About BetaBart (RV-01)
RV-01 is the first therapeutic radio-pharmaceutical agent developed by Radiopharm Ventures, a joint venture formed between Radiopharm Theranostics and the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas. 177Lu-BetaBart is a therapeutic agent conjugated with Lutetium-177 that acts on B7-H3, an immune checkpoint molecule over-expressed in several tumor types. Preclinical studies with BetaBart have shown significant tumor reduction and improved survival rates in animals treated with this radiotherapeutic agent.
Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial Details
The First-In-Human (FIH) Phase 1/2a trial (NCT07189871) is structured to determine the safety profile, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and radiation dosimetry of 177Lu-BetaBart. The study plans to enroll 61 eligible participants with documented histories of various cancer types including prostate cancer resistant to castration, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, all histopathologically confirmed.
