Milan, February 20th 2025 – BetaGlue® Therapeutics S.p.A. (“BetaGlue”), a clinical-stage oncology company developing an innovative radiotherapy platform for the targeted and personalised treatment of unresectable solid tumours, called YntraDose®, announced today that it has entered into an agreement for the exclusive global supply of BioGlue® for use in YntraDose.
