    Atonco and University of Michigan Announce Collaboration on Phase 1-2a Clinical Study of ATO-101™

    Bladder cancer ranks among the most common cancers, with limited success from current therapies like BCG. Atonco’s ATO-101™, a targeted radiopharmaceutical using astatine-211, will be tested in a Phase 1–2a trial led by Drs. Viglianti and Scott to assess its precision and safety. This study represents a promising step toward more effective, less invasive treatments for bladder cancer.
