Transforming Incurable Cancer Into a Manageable Condition

AIGA Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing next-generation radioligand therapies (RLTs). Our proprietary alpha-particle theranostic platform combines precision targeting with unparalleled cytotoxic power.

We are committed to patients whose cancers have progressed beyond available therapies — delivering hope through science.

Learn About Our Approach

Vision

Offer hope and transform the lives of people living with incurable cancers worldwide.

Mission

Pioneer next-generation targeted radiotherapeutics through our alpha-particle theranostic platform.

Commitment

Achieve longer, healthier lives for cancer patients through relentless innovation and compassionate care.

The Alpha Advantage

Alpha particles are uniquely lethal to cancer cells while confining their destructive energy to a microscopic radius — making them ideal for precision oncology.

Alpha Particle Physics

Alpha particles deliver a linear energy transfer (LET) 100× greater than beta particles, inducing irreparable double-strand DNA breaks within a 3–10 cell diameter radius.

Precision Targeting

Our ligands are engineered to bind with high affinity to tumor-specific molecular markers, delivering the radioactive payload precisely where it is needed while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

01

Identify

Diagnostic companion imaging pinpoints tumor-specific receptor expression across the patient's disease burden.

02

Target

The radioligand seeks out and binds to overexpressed receptors on cancer cells with high selectivity.

03

Deliver

Alpha-particle decay unleashes lethal double-strand DNA breaks confined to within a few cell diameters.

04

Monitor

Post-treatment imaging confirms tumor response and guides adaptive therapy decisions in real time.

Programs in Development

Our portfolio addresses cancers where current treatments fall short, leveraging our alpha-particle platform across multiple oncology indications.

A Fundamentally Different Kind of Radiation

  • High Linear Energy Transfer

    Alpha particles deposit energy ~100× more densely than beta particles, causing irreparable DNA damage in a single pass.

  • 🎯
    Ultra-Short Path Length

    The 3–10 cell radius of effect minimizes off-target damage, preserving bone marrow and surrounding healthy structures.

  • 🔬
    Reduced Dose Cycles

    The high cytotoxic potency of alpha particles enables effective tumour control with fewer treatment cycles compared to conventional radiotherapy.

  • 🔭
    Theranostic Pairing

    Companion diagnostics enable patient stratification and real-time treatment monitoring using the same molecular vector.

Beta / Gamma
  • Low LET (~0.2 keV/μm)
  • Long path (mm–cm)
  • Repairable DNA damage
  • Higher dose cycles required
Alpha (AIGA)
  • High LET (~80 keV/μm)
  • Short path (40–90 μm)
  • Irreparable DNA breaks
  • Reduced dose cycles
Our Advantage

How Radioligand Therapy Works

A guided-missile approach to cancer — engineering molecules that seek, bind, and destroy tumour cells with atomic precision while leaving healthy tissue intact.

Constructing Radioligand…
01

Construct

A tumour-targeting ligand is conjugated to an alpha-emitting radioisotope (Ac-225), forming the precision radioligand.

02

Navigate

Administered intravenously, the radioligand circulates through the bloodstream, reaching every corner of the body.

03

Target

The ligand recognises and locks onto tumour-specific receptors overexpressed on cancer cells with nanomolar affinity.

04

Destroy

Alpha particles unleash lethal DNA double-strand breaks within a 40–90 µm radius — obliterating the tumour cell while sparing neighbours.

🛡️
Healthy Cells Protected

Because alpha particles travel only 2–3 cell diameters, normal tissue surrounding the tumour receives negligible radiation dose — a key advantage over conventional radiotherapy and beta-emitting RLTs.
