It will enrol patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma subsequent to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). 

Progression-free survival (PFS) between patients following CRS and HIPEC and Radspherinc compared to CRS and HIPEC is the trial’s primary objective.

The trial is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of next year.

Oncoinvent CEO Anders Månsson said: “We are excited to announce the IND clearance for Radspherin for colorectal cancer patients following the promising indications of safety and efficacy from the RAD-18-002 Phase I/IIa clinical trial.
