NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: ATNM) (Actinium or the Company), a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies, today announced advances across its Actimab-A program, including recently acquired patents adding to a broad suite of IP, and expansion of the Company's manufacturing capacity, as the program approaches clinical milestones from the fourth quarter of 2026 and into 2027. The Company also provided an update on the status of its NYSE American listing.
Actiniums holds a broad IP portfolio covering the manufacture of Actimab-A, as well as its use alone and in combination with other therapies in the treatment of myeloid hematological malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), in addition to solid tumor cancers via targeting of tumor-resident myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Actimab-A patent portfolio activity in the last twelve months:
Actimab-A targeting of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) for the treatment of solid tumors: Two United States patents issued -- US 12,491,274 for the treatment of sarcoma, expiring 15 October 2043, and US 12,539,340 for the treatment of solid tumors generally, alone or with checkpoint therapy, expiring 31 October 2043. Together they extend the anti-CD33 franchise beyond hematologic malignancy into solid tumors by targeting the immunosuppressive myeloid cells of the tumor microenvironment rather than the tumor cells themselves. Applications remain pending in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Actimab-A treatment of low peripheral blast AML: US 12,410,249 issued, with a term to 12 October 2039, and Canadian application 3,022,802 entered pre-grant status, with a term to 25 May 2037. Additional patents in this family have already issued in the United States and Japan; applications remain pending in the United States and Europe.
Actimab-A venetoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor) combination therapy for the treatment of AML: Canadian application 3,059,752 entered pre-grant status, with a term to 26 April 2038, covering the use of Actimab-A together with venetoclax in AML. Three patents have already issued in the United States and one in Mexico; applications remain pending in the United States, Europe, Japan and China.
Actimab-A CLAG-M combination therapy for the treatment of AML: Canadian application 3,087,346 was allowed, with a term to 8 January 2039. A counterpart patent has already issued in Japan; applications remain pending in the United States, Europe and Japan.
Actinium has amended its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to add an additional manufacturer. The additional manufacturer will supply studies conducted under the Company's Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), together with additional Company-sponsored studies, which carry clinical milestones expected from the second half of 2026 and throughout 2027. Establishing an additional manufacturing source is intended to expand capacity and supply flexibility as Actimab-A advances into a broader set of studies across hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Actinium is a pioneer in targeted radiotherapies designed to improve outcomes for patients with cancer. The company employs a biology-driven approach to develop differentiated radiopharmaceuticals for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Its mission is to transform cancer treatment through innovative radioconjugates that maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicity to healthy tissue by combining expertise in tumor biology, translational medicine, and radiochemistry. Since inception, Actinium has focused on developing innovative radiotherapies. Its pipeline reflects this strategy across three areas: (1) solid tumor therapeutics including ATNM-400 and Actimab-A with pan-tumor potential; (2) Actimab-A as a therapeutic backbone for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI); and (3) targeted conditioning agents including Iomab-B for bone marrow transplant and Iomab-ACT for cell and gene therapy conditioning. ATNM-400 targets a novel antigen distinct from PSMA and has demonstrated preclinical activity across metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast cancer. Actimab-A has shown improved survival in relapsed/refractory AML with CLAG-M and is advancing toward a Phase 2/3 trial, with additional development ongoing through a CRADA with the NCI. Actinium is also advancing preclinical solid tumor programs and holds ~250 patents and patent applications, including intellectual property related to cyclotron-based production of Ac-225.
