Pioneering Targeted Cancer Treatments
Radioactive Biopolymer Technology Platform
At Blue Wave Therapeutics, we are at the forefront of developing a targeted radioactive biopolymer technology platform. This innovative platform uses targeted biopolymer nanoparticles to deliver radionuclides directly to tumor cells, providing highly targeted cancer treatments that minimize damage to healthy tissues and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Our approach represents a significant advancement in the field of nuclear medicine and oncology.
Pipeline
Advancing Innovative Therapies
Blue Wave Therapeutics is committed to the development of groundbreaking therapies for the treatment of solid tumors. Our pipeline reflects our rigorous scientific approach and dedication to bringing new therapeutic solutions to patients with critical unmet needs. Besides our first product candidate ARAspheres, Blue Wave is exploring two further candidates with undisclosed target and indication.
Current Phase
Preclinical Development
ARAspheres (225Ac-RGD-Alginate Nanospheres) are integrin-targeting alginate nanoparticles loaded with Actinium-225, designed to deliver targeted alpha radiation to glioblastoma cells. This innovative approach aims to improve patient outcomes by precisely targeting tumor cells and minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
Future Applications
Expanding the Platform
Beyond glioblastoma, our radioactive biopolymer platform has the potential to treat other solid tumors with limited therapeutic options. We are exploring applications for cancers with brain metastases, as well as liver, prostate, thyroid, pancreatic, and breast cancers.
Glioblastoma
Targeting Aggressive Brain Tumors
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat brain tumors. Blue Wave Therapeutics is developing ARAspheres to address this critical unmet medical need. Our technology targets glioblastoma cells with precision, delivering alpha radiation directly to the tumor and sparing healthy brain tissue. Our goal is to significantly improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with glioblastoma.
ARAspheres
Innovative Nanoparticle Therapy
ARAspheres represent the first product candidate from Blue Wave Therapeutics’ targeted biopolymer platform: they are designed to specifically carry radionuclides to tumor cells. In fact, these nanoparticles use a targeting peptide, RGD, to bind specifically to tumor cell receptors, ensuring precise delivery of alpha radiation. This innovative approach holds great promise for treating various solid tumors, starting with glioblastoma.
