Alpha Tau Medical (NASDAQ: DRTS, DRTSW) has been accepted into the FDA's Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) Pilot to accelerate market access for Alpha DaRT® in treating recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This follows the company's previous Breakthrough Device Designation for this indication. TAP aims to expedite patient access to innovative medical devices by providing early, frequent, and strategic communications with the FDA and facilitating engagement with key stakeholders.

The program offers tailored assistance from FDA TAP advisors to advance devices to market, focusing on product lifecycle regulation, payer coverage policies, and integration of patient insights. With an estimated 14,000 new GBM diagnoses per year in the U.S. and low five-year survival rates, Alpha Tau sees this as a important step in their strategy to treat internal organs with high unmet medical needs.

Alpha Tau Medical (NASDAQ: DRTS, DRTSW) has treated its first patient with recurrent lung cancer using the Alpha DaRT® therapy at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel. The clinical trial aims to treat up to ten patients with recurrent tumors in the mediastinum area, allowing concurrent use of other therapies if indicated. The study will assess the safety and feasibility of delivering Alpha DaRT sources into the lung using an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) procedure, as well as evaluate the efficacy of Alpha DaRT for this indication.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with almost 2.5 million new cases detected annually. In the U.S., it's the third most common cancer, with an estimated 210,000 new cases per year. The Alpha DaRT treatment offers a potential new approach for patients with treatment options, especially those who have already undergone conventional radiation therapy.

Alpha Tau Medical (NASDAQ: DRTS, DRTSW) announced FDA approval of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a multi-center study using Alpha DaRT® to treat recurrent cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) in immunocompromised patients. The study, led by Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, will enroll up to 28 U.S. patients across 8 institutions.

The trial's primary efficacy objective is the objective response rate (ORR), with secondary objectives including progression-free survival, overall survival, and local control. Immunocompromised patients face a significantly higher risk of cSCC, with organ transplant recipients having a 65-100 fold greater incidence compared to the general population.

This study addresses clinician requests to treat immunocompromised patients, who are ineligible for Alpha Tau's ongoing ReSTART pivotal trial for recurrent cSCC. The company aims to provide a new potential treatment alternative for this vulnerable population.
