Alpha Tau Announces New Positive Interim Results from its U.S. Alpha DaRT® Recurrent Glioblastoma Trial: All Patients Treated are Alive with Median Survival Not Reached, 6.9 Months Median Follow-Up in the First Six Evaluable Patients With 100% ORR, 100% Feasibility and No Unanticipated Serious Adverse Events - Conference Call Scheduled for 8:30am ET November 16

Rhea-AI Summary

Alpha Tau Medical (DRTS) reported interim REGAIN trial results showing objective tumor responses in all six evaluable patients with recurrent glioblastoma. All eight treated patients were alive as of November 11, 2026. Median overall survival was not reached; median follow-up among the six evaluable patients was 6.9 months. Five achieved complete responses and one a partial response, although three patients’ responses require confirmation.

Planned Alpha DaRT sources were deployed in all eight patients, with no unanticipated serious adverse events. A previously reported serious seizure resolved. Four evaluable patients had asymptomatic necrosis or suspected necrosis; scans in two could not distinguish necrosis from progression. No definitive local recurrence was reported, but one patient developed progression outside the treated area. Enrollment continues toward up to 20 patients.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

JERUSALEM, Nov. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq/TASE: DRTS, DRTSW) (“Alpha Tau” or the “Company”), the developer of the innovative alpha-radiation cancer therapy Alpha DaRT®, today announced updated interim results from its U.S. REGAIN (Recurrent Glioblastoma Alpha DaRT Intratumoral Therapy) trial of Alpha DaRT for patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). The results, measured as of November 11, 2026, were presented in a poster titled “First-In-Human Study to Assess the Feasibility and Safety of Intratumoral Diffusing Alpha Emitters for the Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma: Interim Analysis (REGAIN)” at the 31st Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO), held November 12-15, 2026, in Philadelphia, by the study investigator team from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC - James). Eight patients have been treated in the trial to date, six of whom have reached response assessment.

Uzi Sofer, CEO of Alpha Tau, commented: “In May we shared the first three patients treated with Alpha DaRT in the brain. Six months later, we see how truly transformational Alpha DaRT could be for recurrent GBM. Eight patients have been treated, every procedure has gone as planned, and every one of those patients is alive. The trial thus far has exceeded our wildest expectations, particularly in such a difficult cancer. Glioblastoma is one of the most devastating diagnoses in oncology, and recurrence is virtually inevitable. We look forward to following these patients’ progress as their scans mature, and to continuing enrollment toward 20 patients, which we believe, based on initial discussions, may support market submission requirements for Alpha DaRT in patients with this disease.”

Primary endpoints: Feasibility and Safety

The primary endpoints of the REGAIN trial are feasibility and safety. Planned Alpha DaRT sources were successfully deployed in all eight patients treated to date (100%). No unanticipated SAEs have been observed to date. One grade 3 SAE, previously reported in May 2026, was a seizure with Todd’s paralysis (a temporary paralysis following a seizure) that occurred in a patient with a prior history of seizures; it required a 48-hour hospital stay and resolved with steroids. All patients recovered from any adverse events without residual procedure-related symptoms.

Survival

All eight treated patients were alive as of November 11, 2026. Among the six patients who have reached response assessment, the median follow-up from trial enrollment was 6.9 months (range 3.1 to 11.6 months), and median overall survival has not been reached. Three of these patients have now been followed for more than eight months from enrollment.

Tumor Response

The six evaluable patients have reached response assessment by MRI. Measured as best overall response and using RANO criteria, all six patients (100%) achieved an objective response: five patients (83.3%) achieved a complete response, with no measurable tumor remaining at the treated site, and one patient (16.7%) achieved a partial response, with a 58% decrease in tumor measurements. The first three patients, whose initial results the Company reported in May 2026 as two complete responses and one stable disease, have all now been assessed as confirmed complete responses, the third patient having converted from stable disease to complete response upon longer follow-up. The responses in the three most recently assessed patients were observed at their early assessments and remain subject to confirmation on subsequent scans. No definitive recurrence within the treated area has been reported in any patient as of the cutoff date. One patient, the first patient treated, developed tumor progression away from the treated area approximately nine months after treatment while remaining free of recurrence in the area treated, and has received additional therapy.

Follow-up imaging has shown necrosis or suspected necrosis in or around the treated area in four of the six patients who have reached response assessment, which is a known effect of focal radiation, particularly in brain tissue that has previously been irradiated. The necrosis observed to date has been asymptomatic, and none of these findings was a serious adverse event. In two of these patients, the most recent scans, approximately three months after treatment, also showed new or increased enhancement adjacent to or outside the treated area, and the investigators cannot yet determine whether these findings represent necrosis or tumor progression. These patients are being evaluated with additional imaging and, as needed, biopsy. The Company expects the picture to become clearer over the coming months as additional scans are obtained, and the recurrence data reported today may change as a result.

The patients were treated at OSUCCC - James in Columbus, Ohio, by a multidisciplinary team led by Principal Investigator and Radiation Oncologist Joshua D. Palmer, MD, Medical Physicist Michael Degnan, MS, DABR and Neurosurgeon J. Bradley Elder, MD, using a novel stereotactic delivery approach designed specifically by Alpha Tau for intracranial use, through minimally invasive burr-hole access without open craniotomy. The REGAIN trial is designed to enroll up to 20 patients, and enrollment and follow-up are ongoing.

Dr. Joshua Palmer, Principal Investigator and Radiation Oncologist at the OSUCCC - James, commented: “I am even more encouraged by this newer set of interim results from the REGAIN trial, because we are now beginning to see survival. In recurrent glioblastoma, every patient who reaches six, nine and twelve months makes the picture more compelling, and all of our patients are alive. We have seen responses in every patient who has reached assessment, and have seen no definitive tumor regrowth in the area we treated. We are excited to continue to follow along these patients’ treatment journeys and to treat additional patients in the coming months.”

Dr. Robert Den, Chief Medical Officer of Alpha Tau, added: “The primary endpoints of this trial are feasibility and safety, and on both the data are consistent across all eight patients: every treatment was done as planned, and there have been no unanticipated serious adverse events. The response and survival data are incredibly encouraging for such a difficult disease, and longer follow-up will continue to be of interest in understanding the durability of these responses as we continue to enroll the study.”

About Alpha Tau Medical Ltd.

Founded in 2016, Alpha Tau is an Israeli oncology therapeutics company focused on the research, development, and potential commercialization of the Alpha DaRT for the treatment of solid tumors. The technology was initially developed by Prof. Itzhak Kelson and Prof. Yona Keisari from Tel Aviv University.

About Alpha DaRT®

Alpha DaRT (Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy) is designed to enable highly potent and conformal alpha-irradiation of solid tumors by intratumoral delivery of radium-224 impregnated sources. When the radium decays, its short-lived daughters are released from the sources and disperse while emitting high-energy alpha particles with the goal of destroying the tumor. Since the alpha-emitting atoms diffuse only a short distance, Alpha DaRT aims to primarily affect the tumor and to spare healthy tissue surrounding it. For intracranial use, Alpha DaRT sources are delivered via a specialized stereotactic delivery system that interfaces with standard real-time neuronavigation platforms, with the goal of precise, image-guided source placement through minimally invasive burr-hole access without requiring open craniotomy.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did Alpha Tau’s REGAIN glioblastoma trial show about tumor response?

All six evaluable patients achieved an objective response under RANO tumor-response criteria: five complete responses and one partial response. The partial response involved a 58% decrease in tumor measurements. The first three patients had confirmed complete responses; responses in the three most recently assessed patients still require confirmation.

What were the survival results in Alpha Tau’s REGAIN trial?

All eight treated patients were alive as of November 11, 2026, and median overall survival had not been reached. Among the six patients who reached response assessment, median follow-up from enrollment was 6.9 months, ranging from 3.1 to 11.6 months.

How are investigators evaluating uncertain scans in Alpha Tau’s REGAIN trial?

Investigators are using additional imaging and, as needed, biopsy to assess two patients whose scans could reflect necrosis or tumor progression. Their scans, approximately three months after treatment, showed new or increased enhancement adjacent to or outside the treated area. Alpha Tau expects clarification over the coming months; recurrence data may change.
