Entirely different to what Avacta are doing and also at a very early stage:
In this study a type of therapy called targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) will be used to treat patients with relapsed glioblastoma. The TRT in this study 123I-ATT001, contains two parts. A radioactive part that is radioactive iodine isotope and a chemical part, which can bind to specific targets (proteins) inside cancer cells to kill them while having a much weaker effect on healthy cells.
123I-ATT001 is a new experimental treatment, meaning it has not been approved by any regulatory authorities, such as the UK’s MHRA. This new treatment will only be available for those enrolled in this study. The study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation study, where three doses of 123I-ATT001 will be tested, starting with the lowest dose. When the Data Monitoring Committee declare a recommend dose, an additional 8 patients will be recruited at that dose level in Part 1 of the study. In Part 2, one dose of 123I-ATT001 will be tested in a larger group of patients in combination with other therapies. Part 2 will begin after Part 1 has been completed
