Bonnie McDonald
Head of Human Resources at Actinium Pharmaceuticals
Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapies intended to meaningfully improve survival for patients with relapsed or refractory cancer who have failed existing therapies. Our vision is to build a specialty, hospital-focused, radiotherapeutics company that develops and markets medicines for patients who are treated primarily in large quaternary care hospitals and their catchment areas. We are deploying our technology platform, which we believe to be industry-leading, to develop ARCs, or Antibody Radiation Conjugates, and next-generation radiotherapies against validated cancer targets.
Our Iomab-B and Actimab-A advanced ARC product candidates fill the major unmet medical needs in relapsed or refractory AML in a complementary fashion directed at different parts of the patient journey. Iomab-B is being developed as a targeted bridging therapy candidate that we believe could provide both disease control and conditioning in one agent. Actimab-A is a targeted therapy that has demonstrated the potential to extend survival outcomes for people with r/r AML and is poised for advanced development in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute. Together, we believe these two product candidates could provide us the opportunity to transform the treatment of AML, especially in the relapsed and refractory segment which represents over 50% of AML patients. Based on early clinical trial results, we are also developing our Iomab-ACT program – a next generation conditioning program for rapidly growing cell and gene therapies.
Our R&D capabilities have the potential to yield differentiated, high-value ARC programs that demonstrate our experience across multiple validated cancer targets and isotopes and cover broad areas of focus leveraging our clinical development experience across hematology, targeted conditioning, solid tumors, and next generation ARCs. Our intellectual property portfolio includes more than 230 patents and patent applications worldwide. The position will provide program management and leadership for all phases of development, from pre-IND through late-stage clinical development for our pipeline.
