Data Presented at The Annual Scientific Meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America September 30th, 2022

Key Points: 
  • The authors concluded that the API in CardiolRx protects cardiac function and exhibits an anti-fibrotic effect, possibly mediated by endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition ("EndoMT").
  • "Our research collaborators from Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center have previously shown that CardiolRx preserves cardiac function in a pre-clinical model of heart failure.
  • The results of the present study provide further evidence of the cardioprotective properties of CardiolRx that suggest anti-fibrotic mechanisms with therapeutic potential in heart failure," stated Dr. Andrew Hamer, Cardiol Therapeutics' Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research & Development.
  • These assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and other factors should be considered carefully, and investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information.

JERUSALEM, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. ("Alpha Tau") (Nasdaq: DRTS and DRTSW), the developer of the innovative alpha-radiation cancer therapy Alpha DaRTâ„¢, announced today the acceptance of two landmark pre-clinical studies in major peer-reviewed journals, both demonstrating the significant potential synergies between Alpha DaRT therapy and standard-of-care solid tumor therapies used today.

Key Points: 
  • We are very excited to have these fantastic results recognized by two leading journals in our field, said Alpha Tau CEO Uzi Sofer.
  • We also are impressed by the synergies we see with other mechanisms such as anti-angiogenesis and continue to explore those in parallel as well.
  • These results demonstrate potential synergies with immune stimulation in mice and support the further exploration of the Alpha DaRT as a compelling local radiation therapy with the potential to induce antitumor immunity.
  • In this pre-clinical study, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) tumor-bearing mice were treated with Alpha DaRT in combination with an anti-PD1 therapy (aPD-1).
