Convergent Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation radiopharmaceutical therapies for prostate and other cancers. The company's proprietary technology was developed by Dr. Neil Bander, Professor of Urologic Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine, and licensed to Convergent by Cornell University. CONV01-α, a monoclonal antibody conjugated to actinium-225 (Ac-225), a radioactive alpha particle emitter, was specifically designed to bind to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). A key functional feature of CONV01-α is that once bound to PSMA, it becomes internalized, thereby delivering its powerful radioactive payload directly into prostate cancer cells, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. CONV01-α would be the first radioantibody approved for the use of Ac-225 in cancer treatment. For more information, please visit www.convergentrx.com and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
