MissionIR Exclusive Audio Interview With Actinium Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Kaushik J. Dave
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - MissionIR today announces the online availability of its interview with Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: ATNM) president and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kaushik J. Dave, a 25-year veteran with extensive biotech and pharmaceutical experience. The full audio interview is available at the following link: http://ATNM.MissionIR.com/interview.html.
Actinium is a biotech company leveraging modern science and its proprietary platform to develop and commercialize groundbreaking therapies for treatment in different types of cancer that currently do not have any approved treatment.
Iomab-B is the company's lead program for bone marrow conditioning in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who do not have any curative treatment options. Iomab-B is poised to start a pivotal phase 3 study, backed by significant data from five completed phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials.
"This program has the potential to disrupt the field of bone marrow transplant, and as a consequence, has attracted a significant amount of interest from the medical community," Dr. Dave stated in the interview.
Actinium's pipeline also includes Actimab-A, currently in phase 1/phase 2 clinical studies as a primary induction treatment of AML. The company's business model is to leverage its expertise and strong partnerships with leading cancer institutions to further the development of these drug candidates.
Dr. Dave detailed his education and extensive background in the pharmaceutical industry and drug development, noting that his interest in joining Actinium stemmed from recognizing the company's "significant unrealized potential for growth." Dr. Dave also briefly touched on the blended expertise of the rest of Actinium's leadership and board of directors.
"These folks, all of them, bring complementary skills... all of which make our team well-equipped to face challenges of a rapidly ascending biotech company," he stated.
In 2013, Actinium achieved several important milestones, as explained by Dr. Dave in the interview, which have positioned the company to reach several key objectives in 2014, including:
Iomab-B poised to start phase 3
Interim phase 2 results for Actimab-A
Uplist to Nasdaq or NYSE exchange
Obtaining additional analyst coverage
Establish strategic collaborations
Wrapping up the interview, Dr. Dave explained Actinium position in the biotech industry, how it is raising awareness in the investment community, and the company's recent private placement of approximately $6.6 million in gross proceeds, which is allocated toward achieving the company goals for the year.
