JERUSALEM, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. ("Alpha Tau", or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DRTS, DRTSW), the developer of the innovative alpha-radiation cancer therapy Alpha DaRT^®, announced today that two abstracts have been accepted to the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, to be held January 8-10, 2026 in San Francisco, California. The abstracts, entitled “Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Alpha Radiotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Pilot Study”, and “Inflammatory and Immune Marker Dynamics following Intratumoral Alpha DaRT for Pancreatic Cancer”, will both be presented by investigators in the Company’s recently completed pancreatic cancer pilot trial in Montreal, Canada, by study Principal Investigator Corey Miller, MD, and by Kim Anh Ma, MD, respectively.

“I am delighted that exciting additional pancreatic cancer study data will be presented for a second consecutive year at the prestigious ASCO symposium with two abstracts,” commented Company CEO Uzi Sofer. “Following last year’s fantastic presentation, it is gratifying to be able to continue to demonstrate our acceleration in this important indication to top experts in the field, and to see our data being the subject of multiple presentations. I look forward to fascinating and engaging discussions.”

Alpha Tau treated the first patient in its U.S. multi-center pancreatic cancer clinical trial in September 2025. The trial is expected to enroll up to 30 patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer. Up to 87% of newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients are considered inoperable at diagnosis and face a dismal prognosis, with limited benefit from existing therapies. This pilot study is a key part of Alpha Tau’s broader strategy to bring Alpha DaRT to cancer patients with some of the highest unmet needs.

About Alpha DaRT^®

Alpha DaRT (Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy) is designed to enable highly potent and conformal alpha-irradiation of solid tumors by intratumoral delivery of radium-224 impregnated sources. When the radium decays, its short-lived daughters are released from the sources and disperse while emitting high-energy alpha particles with the goal of destroying the tumor. Since the alpha-emitting atoms diffuse only a short distance, Alpha DaRT aims to mainly affect the tumor, and to spare the healthy tissue around it.
