Actinium Announces Submission of IND For Actimab-A in Combination with CLAG-M

Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:ATNM)announced that an Investigational New Drug application has been submitted with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Actimab-A in combination with CLAG-M for relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients.

As quoted in the press release:

Dr. Mark Berger, Actinium’s Chief Medical Officer said, “CLAG-M has become a widely used regimen for patients that is the standard of care at many institutions across the U.S. based on its ability to produce remissions in patients in relapse. By utilizing Actimab-A with CLAG-M, we expect to leverage Actimab-A’s potency and minimal extramedullary toxicities to derive synergies when used in combination with other active AML drugs. This important Phase 1 study will assess safety of the combination and determine an appropriate dose level for future studies. In future studies, we believe that this exciting combination could increase remission rates in relapsed patients.  We also expect to use the Actimab-A CLAG-M combination regimen to increase the rate of successful stem cell transplant in relapsed patients, via improved myeloablation with the combination regimen. We look forward to work with Dr. Atallah and his colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin.”
