OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oncoinvent ASA, a clinical stage company advancing alpha emitter therapy across a variety of solid cancers, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with ARTBIO, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company developing a new class of targeted alpha radioligand therapies. As part of the agreement, ARTBIO will rent space and equipment, acquire access to some of Oncoinvent’s radioprotection expertise and analytical services, and purchase select R&D equipment.
