In his presentation, Dr. Ramdahl will discuss the significant progress Algeta has made in the clinical development of its lead product candidate, Alpharadin.

Algeta is currently preparing Alpharadin to enter Phase III trials in 2008.

Dr. Ramdahl will also discuss Algeta’s unique technology platform for the development of a pipeline of internally targeted alpha particle based radiotherapies as potential new treatments for a range of cancers.
