Orano Med enters Next Phase of Collaboration with Roche
Nicolas Maes, Chief Executive Officer of the Orano group, commented: “We are very pleased about the progress made in collaboration with Roche for the development of a potential new treatment approach for cancer patients. After the licensing agreement signed with Sanofi last year for our most advanced clinical program, AlphaMedix™, the achievement with this potential new drug candidate marks an important milestone that we accomplished jointly with another major player in the pharmaceutical industry. It illustrates our capacity to execute our long-term strategy, aimed at developing a solid pipeline of 212Pb-targeted alpha therapies to treat multiple oncology indications. In addition, thanks to the Orano Group’s expertise in the nuclear industry and its access to thorium-232, a scarce raw material required for producing 212Pb, Orano Med is also responsible for the entire production and distribution chain for these isotopes.”
