First Pancreatic Cancer Patient in Europe treated with Alpha DaRT® in French Multicenter ACAPELLA Clinical Trial
Uzi Sofer, CEO of Alpha Tau, remarked: “Over forty thousand Europeans each year are diagnosed with inoperable locally advanced pancreatic cancer, and even if there are some patients who have managed to complete first-line chemotherapy, there remains no established next step, no standard treatment path, and an inevitable progression for the great majority. That is the great unmet need ACAPELLA was designed to address. Together with the ongoing IMPACT multicenter pancreatic cancer trial in the United States, the ACAPELLA trial represents Alpha Tau’s commitment to building a rigorous, global clinical evidence base for intrapancreatic alpha-emitter radiotherapeutics to treat this terrible disease. The timing of this first patient treatment, just ahead of Digestive Disease Week 2026 in Chicago, offers a welcome opportunity to engage with the global GI oncology community about our exciting clinical progress.”
