Insights

Radiopharm raises its JV stake as lead radiopharma asset enters human trials.

Radiopharm Theranostics has increased its ownership in Radiopharm Ventures, LLC from 75% to 87.5%, deepening its economic exposure to a pipeline being developed with MD Anderson Cancer Center. This signals confidence in the joint venture’s oncology programs, particularly in radiopharmaceuticals targeting solid tumors.

The lead candidate, Betabart (RV01), is a 177Lu‑labelled monoclonal antibody against the B7H3 immune checkpoint protein, which the company notes is commonly overexpressed in many cancers while rarely seen in healthy tissue. It received U.S. FDA Investigational New Drug clearance in July 2025, and the first patient in a Phase 1 dose‑escalation therapeutic study is expected to be dosed in Q1 2026.

Two additional preclinical assets in the joint venture have shown early positive results and are moving toward final candidate selection. Overall, the development progress and higher ownership consolidate Radiopharm’s stake in a focused radiopharmaceutical portfolio, though ultimate impact will depend on clinical data from Betabart and subsequent pipeline readouts.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
12 JANUARY 2026

 

 

RAD Increases Ownership in Radiopharm Ventures to 87.5%

 

Radiopharm Ventures, LLC, is a joint venture created in 2022 between MD Anderson Cancer Center and Radiopharm Theranostics

 

Leading candidate Betabart, a monoclonal antibody targeting B7H3, has received FDA IND clearance for a Phase I therapeutic trial in multiple solid tumors expected to dose the first patient in Q1 2026

 

First clinical trial globally targeting B7H3 with a systemic radiopharmaceutical

 

Two additional preclinical Radiopharm Ventures’ assets show early positive results with plans to move to final candidate selection in 2026

 

Sydney, Australia – 12 January 2026 – Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX:RAD, “Radiopharm” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical needs, is pleased to announce that it has increased its ownership stake in Radiopharm Ventures, LLC, a joint venture created with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), from 75% to 87.5%.

 

Radiopharm’s decision to increase the ownership percentage comes as the joint venture continues to show promising progress in its cancer therapeutic pipeline, including the advancement of its leading B7H3 candidate and other preclinical assets.

 

B7H3 is an immune checkpoint protein that is very infrequently seen in healthy cells but is consistently overexpressed in the majority of cancer tissues. High expression of B7H3 in cancer is associated with greater tumor size and lymphatic invasion.

 

Riccardo Canevari, CEO & Managing Director of Radiopharm, commented: "We are very encouraged by the progress to date within Radiopharm Ventures. Now is an exciting time to increase our ownership in the joint venture, as we will soon have first-in-human results of Betabart (RV01) from our dose escalating therapeutic Phase I study. We remain confident in the potential value of this program and its potential to benefit patients battling a multitude of solid tumor cancers.”

 

The lead candidate monoclonal antibody (mAb) radiolabelled with 177Lu, Betabart, targets B7H3 and successfully received Investigational New Drug clearance in July 2025 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The first patient in this Phase 1 therapeutic trial is expected to be dosed in Q1 2026, with a number of centers already activated.

 

Additionally, two other preclinical candidates have demonstrated early positive results and have progressed towards final candidate selection, with potential applications across multiple solid tumor types.

 

Radiopharm and MDACC launched Radiopharm Ventures, LLC in September 2022 to develop novel radiopharmaceutical products for cancer treatment. The joint venture leverages MD Anderson’s expertise in antigen discovery and molecular imaging alongside Radiopharm’s capabilities in developing targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies.
