Pipeline
アスタチンの特性を活用した複数のパイプラインを有しており、その中には現在臨床試験で評価中のaf-001(Alpha-T1)、af-002(Alpha-PS1)も含まれています。また、細胞膜表面だけでなく細胞内標的についても低分子やペプチドリガンドとの組み合わせで探索段階のコンセプト検証を進めております。

af-001 (Alpha-T1)
- Waterfall plots showing the maximum change in serum thyroglobulin levels at 3 or 6 months after administration of [211At]NaAt. (* Measured without rhTSH stimulation.)
- Representative 131I planar and SPECT/CT images in a patient with follicular thyroid cancer with multiple bone metastasis at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months after administration of [211At]NaAt (3.5MBq/kg). A gradual decrease in 131I accumulation in the lumbar spine and sacral metastases was observed over time.

af-002 (Alpha-PS1)
- Pre-treatment [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT (A) and [211At]PSMA-5 SPECT/CT (B) images showed similar distribution patterns, with high uptake in recurrent/metastatic lesions (left: maximum intensity projection, right: fusion and contrast-enhanced CT images). Both images revealed high accumulation in the soft tissue mass within the prostate area (SUVmax = 60.7 on [18F]PSMA-1007 PET and 4.9 on [211At]PSMA-5 SPECT) (arrows) and in the enlarged left external iliac lymph node metastasis (SUVmax = 143.7 and 17.6, respectively) (arrow heads). Physiological accumulation was similarly observed in both modalities in the salivary glands, liver, spleen, small intestine, and kidneys, with no detectable urinary excretion. This image provides proof-of-concept for a theranostic approach using the 18F/211At-labeled compound pair.
