Actinium Presents New ATNM-400 Data in KRAS and EGFR Mutant Models at SNMMI 2026 Supporting a Mutation-Agnostic Opportunity In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Rhea-AI Summary
Actinium (NYSE American: ATNM) reported new preclinical data for ATNM-400 in non-small cell lung cancer at SNMMI 2026. ATNM-400 outperformed KRAS inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib in models and showed strong synergy with EGFR inhibitor osimertinib, achieving complete tumor regression in combination.
ATNM-400’s target is expressed in about 98% of NSCLC tumors and can increase 3.5–3.8x after KRAS inhibitor treatment. According to Actinium, this supports a potential mutation-agnostic backbone role across large EGFR- and KRAS-mutant NSCLC segments.

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent history shows negative price reactions even to seemingly constructive pipeline and leadership news, while listing-standard issues have coincided with downside as well.
Over the past month, Actinium highlighted multiple developments around its radioconjugate platform. The company previewed and then delivered SNMMI 2026 presentations, including new ATNM-400 data across NSCLC and other tumors, yet shares fell about 6.35% following several of these updates. A listing-standards notice from NYSE American underscored balance sheet pressure. The appointment of a new Chief Medical Officer on Jun 1 and additional radiochemistry data reinforced the pipeline focus. Today’s ATNM-400 NSCLC data deepen this same narrative of broad, mutation-agnostic potential within solid tumors.

AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
- New KRAS-mutant data show ATNM-400 outperformed standard-of-care inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib as a monotherapy. Treatment with these agents increased expression of the ATNM-400 target greater than 3.5x and enhanced their effect in combination
- Additional data in the EGFR-mutant setting demonstrated powerful synergy with osimertinib due to enhanced target expression in treated animals resulting in complete tumor regression in the combination arm
- The data with EGFR and KRAS mutations which account for approximately 40-50 percent of all NSCLC cases provide compelling evidence of the potential of ATNM-400 as a monotherapy or in combination with inhibitory agents against these mutations
- ATNM-400 is a radioconjgate comprising an antibody coupled to Actinium-225 which causes cell death via double stranded DNA breaks independent of cellular mechanisms and offers broad potential as a mutation agnostic agent in NSCLC where its target is expressed in over 90 percent of tumors with greater expression as resistance emerges
The new KRAS-mutant data, together with a growing body of EGFR-mutant data, demonstrate ATNM-400's activity across the two major mutation driver classes in NSCLC and support a distinct strategic opportunity. ATNM-400 can be developed as a potential mutation-agnostic backbone for the broader NSCLC market, alone or in combination with standard-of-care therapies, rather than as another mutation-specific drug for a narrow subset.
NSCLC accounts for roughly
ATNM-400's target antigen, from previously published immunohistochemistry studies, is present in approximately
These combination benefits also broaden ATNM-400's commercial opportunity. The franchises it could enhance are substantial; the KRAS inhibitor class in NSCLC is projected to exceed
Sandesh Seth, Actinium's Chairman and CEO, said, "Today's data further strengthen our conviction that ATNM-400 represents a fundamentally different approach to treating NSCLC solid tumors. While most targeted therapies are designed for a single mutation-defined patient population, ATNM-400 combines the mutation-independent cell-killing power of Actinium-225 with a target that is broadly expressed across tumors and becomes even more abundant as resistance emerges. The consistency of activity we have now demonstrated across both EGFR- and KRAS-driven NSCLC supports our vision for ATNM-400 as a potential mutation-agnostic backbone therapy that can be used alone or in combination across large patient populations. We believe this opportunity could extend beyond lung cancer and may position ATNM-400 as a foundational therapy across multiple solid tumor indications."
Highlights from the SNMMI 2026 Poster Presentation
Poster Titled: ATNM-400: A First-in-Class Actinium-225 Antibody Radioconjugate Demonstrating Durable, Mutation-Agnostic Anti-Tumor Activity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Models
New data demonstrated ATNM-400's potential as a mutation-agnostic antibody radioconjugate therapy for NSCLC:
- Across a panel of four lung cancer cell lines spanning EGFR- and KRAS-driver mutations, ATNM-400 bound and was internalized specifically by the three target-positive lines (NCI-H1975, NCI-H358 and Calu-3) but not by the target-negative line (A549), confirming that its activity is driven by target expression rather than by any particular mutation.
- In a KRAS G12C model (NCI-H358), PET imaging of radiolabeled ATNM-400 showed the drug concentrating in the tumor with low uptake in healthy tissue, visually confirming that it reaches its target in a living animal and delivers its alpha payload where intended while largely sparing normal organs.
- In a KRAS G13D model (Calu-3), a single dose of ATNM-400 drove tumor regression (
124% and135% inhibition at two dose levels), indicating marked antitumor potencywith full body-weight recovery. Deep responses from one dose with a clean tolerability profile point to a wide therapeutic window and dosing flexibility, favorable attributes for clinical translation.
- Treatment with both approved KRAS inhibitors (sotorasib and adagrasib) raised ATNM-400's target expression dose-dependently—up to roughly 3.5- to 3.8-fold—reaching statistical significance at every dose (p < 0.0001). The effect occurred with both agents, indicating a class-wide consequence of KRAS G12C inhibition that builds a rationale for combining ATNM-400 with these therapies.
- ATNM-400 plus sotorasib or adagrasib decreased cancer-cell viability beyond either inhibitor alone. The data demonstrate that ATNM-400 has development potential not only as a monotherapy but also in combination with these leading KRAS therapies and possibly the entire KRAS-mutant class.
- In an EGFR-mutant model (NCI-H1975), ATNM-400 monotherapy achieved
75% tumor growth inhibition versus40% for osimertinib; combined with osimertinib it reached107% inhibition with complete cures in100% of mice. Osimertinib raised target expression, providing a clear rationale for the combination.
