A local-control platform for solid tumors

Durable local control, delivered precisely to the tumor

BetaGlue® Therapeutics is a clinical-stage precision oncology company developing localized radiotherapeutic platforms for solid tumors. By combining biotechnology, nuclear science and interventional oncology, we deliver radiation directly where it matters most — inside the tumor.

YntraDose® is a first-in-class localized radiotherapeutic platform: a one-time, image-guided intratumoral injection of Yttrium-90 microspheres, designed to provide durable local control of the primary tumor.

Designed to complement next-generation systemic therapies — including the KRAS era — YntraDose is being developed to address the local-control gap where current approaches fall short. YntraDose is investigational; its safety and performance are being evaluated in clinical development.

Now recruiting

The YntraDose® clinical study

A first-in-human study of YntraDose® is open to patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer, at recruitment centres in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Italy.

Why now

Three trends are converging

Pancreatic cancer is entering a period of rapid change. Three developments are reshaping how the disease will be treated — and BetaGlue sits at their intersection.

Precision oncology is advancing fast

Molecular characterisation is turning a single disease into a set of distinct, separately treatable subtypes — and expectations of what treatment should achieve are rising with it.

KRAS inhibitors are emerging

A new generation of targeted agents is entering clinical development against one of the defining drivers of pancreatic cancer.

Local control is being recognised

As systemic disease is controlled for longer, durable control of the primary tumor is increasingly recognised as a determinant of clinical outcome.

Combination strategy

YntraDose®, designed to complement systemic therapy

A one-time, image-guided intratumoral administration that delivers durable local control — without interrupting the systemic backbone.

Clinical development

A clinical foundation for pancreatic cancer

YntraDose® has been evaluated in two first-in-human studies, establishing an early clinical foundation. It now supports development in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LA-PDAC), in combination with next-generation systemic therapies.

Process

Why we’re here

For many solid tumors — beginning with locally advanced pancreatic cancer — controlling the primary tumor locally remains a major challenge, even as systemic therapies advance.

BetaGlue is building a localized radiotherapeutic platform designed to deliver durable local control precisely at the tumor — to complement next-generation systemic therapies, not replace them.

Our purpose: make precise, image-guided local control a practical part of combination cancer care — and, over time, extend it across solid tumors.

The impact of the clinical benefits for patients thanks to this new personalised radiotherapeutic treatment option are potentially broad.
