Actinium-225

Explore the potential of Actinium-225, a synthetic isotope with a crucial role in Targeted Alpha Therapy for cancer treatment.

Actineer Inc. is a new joint venture for industrial scale production of Actinium-225

Actineer Inc. was founded in 2023 by ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SE (ITM), a leading radiopharmaceutical biotech company, and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), which manages and operates the national laboratory at Chalk River, Ontario, on behalf of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL).

As a rare alpha emitting medical isotope, Ac-225 is gaining increasing attention across the precision oncology field due to its significant potential as a powerful new potential weapon in the fight against cancer.

Plenty of radiopharmaceutical companies included Ac-225-based molecules as lead program to their pipeline already being well advanced in some cases and requiring this radioisotope as starting material on-time in-full.

The joint venture’s overall goal is to fulfill the unmet global needs of Actinium-225 in order to ensure a reliable supply urgently needed for next generation radiopharmaceuticals and patients worldwide.

Targeted alpha therapies based on Actinium-225 are gaining increasing importance in addition to the well-established beta emitters such as our highly-pure non-carrier-added (n.c.a.) Lutetium-177. Joining forces with CNL provides us the opportunity to extend our therapeutic portfolio as we continue striving to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and cancer patients worldwide.

Steffen Schuster, ITM CEO
.

Together with ITM, CNL has already made significant process towards our goal of bringing a next-generation medical isotope to the world market. With the launch of Actineer, we are poised to establish a reliable and large-scale supply of Ac-225 that we believe will unlock ground-breaking new cancer treatments. The entire team at CNL looks forward to applying their radiochemical expertise to the development of the new production process for Actinium-225 within this joint venture.

Actinium-225 is a potent radionuclide utilized in targeted alpha therapies and holds great potential in the greater landscape of radionuclide therapy. Targeted alpha therapy with Actinium-225 will facilitate patient care in nuclear medicine by bringing new treatment opportunities to those who need it in addition to combining Radiopharmaceutical therapy possibilities with the established Lutetium-177. The expertise that ITM and CNL bring together is unique and essential for meeting the escalating demand for Actinium-225 across various applications.
