Explore the program framework, logistics, and critical research components for building IND-ready radiotherapies.

​​Targeted cancer therapies often face limited efficacy due to low tumor uptake, resistance mechanisms, and high development costs. Meanwhile, molecular radiotherapy (MRT) offers precise tumor targeting with cytotoxic radiation, but few clinical candidates exist. Many oncology teams struggle to bridge the gap between a promising small molecule and a strong radiotherapeutic lead, missing the chance to extend IP, improve outcomes and diversify pipelines.

We have established a proven framework for selecting and assessing cancer drugs with favourable biodistribution and target specificity to become radiopharmaceutical candidates. Learn how to analyze drug structure, binding affinity, and pharmacokinetic profiles to predict when radiolabelling may be successful.

Next, we’ll explore in vivo validation using multimodal imaging (PET/SPECT, MRI, optical) to guide candidate prioritization. You’ll uncover best practices for measuring biodistribution, dosimetry and early efficacy. Plus, see how integrated CRO partnerships streamline translation, from construct design to IND-ready radiopharmaceutical candidates.
