Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. reports that the FDA has cleared it to complete enrollment in its U.S. REGAIN trial of Alpha DaRT for recurrent glioblastoma, allowing recruitment of the final seven of up to ten patients. Two additional leading U.S. academic cancer centers have been authorized as clinical sites, broadening access and expertise for the study.

Early interim data from the first three patients treated showed 100% local disease control, a 67% complete response rate by RANO criteria, and one associated grade 3 serious adverse event that resolved, with no unanticipated toxicities and no local or distant recurrences at the cutoff date. The trial focuses on patients with recurrent glioblastoma who have very limited treatment options, and builds on prior FDA recognition of Alpha DaRT through Breakthrough Device Designation and participation in the Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program.

Insights

FDA cleared Alpha Tau to fully enroll a small recurrent glioblastoma trial after favorable early safety and response data.

Alpha Tau received FDA clearance to continue enrolling the final seven patients in its REGAIN trial of Alpha DaRT for recurrent glioblastoma, following review of a pre-specified interim safety report on the first three patients. The study targets a population with few options and historically poor outcomes.

Interim data showed 100% local disease control, a 67% complete response rate by RANO criteria, and one grade 3 serious adverse event that resolved, with no unanticipated toxicities as of the cutoff date. While promising, these findings stem from only three patients in a single-arm, feasibility and safety-focused study.

The trial is expected to enroll up to ten U.S. patients and now includes two additional academic cancer centers, which may facilitate recruitment and add multidisciplinary expertise. Impact on Alpha Tau’s long-term prospects will depend on durability of responses, safety in the full cohort, and future regulatory interactions beyond this early-stage clearance.

Planned REGAIN enrollment Up to 10 patients Prospective U.S. recurrent glioblastoma study
Interim patients treated 3 patients First cohort in REGAIN trial
Local disease control rate 100% Early interim results for first three patients
Complete response rate 67% Defined by RANO criteria in interim data
Serious adverse events One grade 3 SAE Associated with treatment, fully resolved
Annual U.S. glioblastoma cases Approximately 14,000 New diagnoses per year cited by company
Breakthrough Device year October 2021 FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for recurrent GBM
TPLC TAP acceptance October 2024 FDA Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program Pilot
Breakthrough Device Designation regulatory
"In October 2021, the Company was awarded Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA for Alpha DaRT in recurrent glioblastoma"
A breakthrough device designation is a regulatory program that gives promising medical devices for serious or life‑threatening conditions priority support and faster review from a health authority (e.g., the U.S. FDA). Think of it as a “fast lane” or VIP pass through development and review: it can shorten time to market, lower regulatory uncertainty, and boost a company’s commercial prospects — but it is not an approval by itself.
Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) regulatory
"in October 2024, the Company was accepted into the FDA’s prestigious Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) Pilot"
Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) is a regulatory engagement in which a health authority provides ongoing, structured guidance to a medical product maker from design and approval through market launch and post‑market monitoring. Think of it as a regulatory coach that helps anticipate safety tests, data needs and reporting obligations so companies can move faster, reduce surprise setbacks and better manage costs and risks—facts that directly affect timelines, budgets and investor returns.
Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria medical
"a 67% complete response rate as defined by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria"
serious adverse event (SAE) medical
"and only one associated grade 3 serious adverse event (SAE), with no unanticipated associated SAEs observed"
A serious adverse event (SAE) is a harmful medical outcome tied to a drug or treatment that causes death, is life‑threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, leads to lasting disability or birth defects, or otherwise needs urgent medical attention. For investors, SAEs act like emergency warning lights for a clinical program or product: they can pause trials, trigger regulatory scrutiny, delay approvals, and cause sharp stock moves because they affect a treatment’s safety profile and commercial prospects.
recurrent glioblastoma medical
"Breakthrough Device Designation for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) and Alpha Tau’s selection for the FDA’s prestigious Total Product Life Cycle"
Recurrent glioblastoma is a form of aggressive brain cancer that has returned or progressed after initial treatment, such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. It matters to investors because it represents a high unmet medical need with limited treatment options, so successful new therapies can change patient outcomes, command premium prices, and drive clinical, regulatory and commercial value—while failures carry significant clinical and financial risk.

Alpha Tau Receives FDA Clearance to Complete Enrollment in REGAIN Recurrent Glioblastoma Trial and Add Two U.S. Clinical Sites; Early Interim Results Showed 100% Local Disease Control

 

- Following the pre-specified interim safety report and overwhelming demand from clinicians to treat patients as quickly as possible, Alpha Tau to resume recruitment immediately for the remaining seven patients in the trial -

 

- Marks the latest in a series of regulatory successes in this indication, following FDA’s recognition of Alpha DaRT’s potential through its Breakthrough Device Designation for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) and Alpha Tau’s selection for the FDA’s prestigious Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) -

 

- With approximately 14,000 Americans newly diagnosed with glioblastoma each year and median survival after recurrence typically measured in months, Alpha DaRT® represents a potentially transformative new treatment option for patients with highly limited alternatives –

 

- Two additional leading U.S. academic cancer centers are now approved to participate in the REGAIN trial, expanding geographic access and clinical expertise for this important indication -

 

Jerusalem, June 11, 2026 -- Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: DRTS, DRTSW) (“Alpha Tau”, or the “Company”), the developer of the innovative alpha-radiation cancer therapy Alpha DaRT®, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Company to proceed with enrollment of the final seven patients in its U.S. REGAIN (Recurrent Glioblastoma Alpha-DaRT Intratumoral Therapy) trial, following the FDA’s review of a pre-specified interim safety report of the first three patients treated in the trial. The Company intends to recommence patient recruitment immediately, on the back of tremendous clinical interest in continuing the trial.

 

As previously announced on May 11, 2026, interim results at the cutoff date of May 3, 2026 from the first three patients, treated between December 2025 and March 2026 at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) in Columbus, Ohio, demonstrated 100% local disease control, a 67% complete response rate as defined by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria, and only one associated grade 3 serious adverse event (SAE), with no unanticipated associated SAEs observed. As of the data cut-off date, no patients had any local or distant recurrence or any residual symptoms from the procedure.

 

This clearance to continue the trial is the latest in a series of successful regulatory submissions to the FDA over more than four years with respect to exploring the use of Alpha DaRT in treating recurrent GBM. In October 2021, the Company was awarded Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA for Alpha DaRT in recurrent glioblastoma, and in October 2024, the Company was accepted into the FDA’s prestigious Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) Advisory Program (TAP) Pilot, a highly selective program designed to expedite patient access to highly promising medical devices by providing coveted access to FDA expertise and guidance throughout the device development process.

 

In parallel with the FDA’s clearance to advance enrollment, Alpha Tau has received FDA authorization for two additional leading U.S. academic cancer centers to join the REGAIN trial as participating sites. The addition of these centers increases the geographic reach of the REGAIN trial, with the aim to broaden access for patients across the United States, and to bring additional multidisciplinary neuro-oncology expertise to the program.

 

 

 

 

Uzi Sofer, CEO of Alpha Tau, commented, “Glioblastoma is one of the most devastating diagnoses in oncology and is a core strategic indication for the Company. Since the fantastic interim results we released last month from our first three recurrent GBM treatments, clinicians have been overwhelmingly demanding that we keep treating patients as quickly as possible. This clearance, combined with the expansion to additional leading U.S. centers, hopefully brings us meaningfully closer to making Alpha DaRT a real option for these patients.”

 

“I’m very gratified by the FDA’s review of the initial safety assessment and by its clearance to advance to full patient enrollment. What stands out in the early interim data from our first three patients is not just the magnitude of the responses, but their consistency,” said Dr. Robert Den, Chief Medical Officer of Alpha Tau. “In recurrent GBM, where objective response rates with most systemic therapies rarely reach double digits, seeing two patients achieve complete disappearance of all enhancing tumor lesions on serial MRI scans as of the cutoff date, while the third showed meaningful tumor volume reduction, is a clinically significant and encouraging pattern. The adverse event profile was manageable: one grade 3 SAE, fully resolved, with no unanticipated toxicities. This is the kind of consistent, interpretable signal that gives us confidence as we advance to the next set of patients.”

 

About the REGAIN Study

 

The REGAIN study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm interventional study designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Alpha DaRT for the potential treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. The clinical trial is expected to enroll up to ten U.S. patients with recurrent GBM not amenable for surgical resection who have undergone a prior course of central nervous system radiation. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the treatment, following the Company’s promising results from pre-clinical studies. Additional information about the trial can be found at https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06910306

 

About Alpha Tau Medical Ltd.

 

Founded in 2016, Alpha Tau is an Israeli oncology therapeutics company that focuses on research, development, and potential commercialization of the Alpha DaRT for the treatment of solid tumors.

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 mainly affect the tumor, and to spare the healthy tissue around it.
