Archeus Technologies Receives FDA Clearance of Investigational New Drug Application for ART-101 in Development for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
ART-101 was discovered and developed by Reinier Hernandez, Ph.D., assistant professor of medical physics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with robust development support from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. The therapy targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), similar to several FDA-approved imaging and therapeutic agents. However, preclinical data demonstrates that ART-101 exhibits higher tumor uptake and retention, as well as lower normal tissue and salivary gland uptake, relative to current FDA-approved PSMA-targeting agents. Archeus plans to evaluate ART-101 as a theranostic radiopharmaceutical agent with the potential to deliver alpha particle-emitting isotopes with greater efficacy and safety compared with current standards of care.
'This IND clearance marks an important milestone for Archeus as we prepare to initiate the first of multiple clinical trials set to begin this year from our broader portfolio of differentiated radiopharmaceutical assets for difficult-to-treat cancers,' said Evan Sengbusch, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Archeus Technologies. 'ART-101 represents a promising approach to targeting PSMA-positive prostate cancer with the potential to deliver meaningful clinical benefit and reduced side effects for patients. We are eager to begin evaluating ART-101 in patients to better understand its full therapeutic potential.'
In addition, Archeus received IND clearances in October 2024 for its lead therapeutic candidate, ARC-706, and companion diagnostic, ARC-166. The company plans to advance the two assets - together as a theranostic pair - into clinical development this year. Archeus is developing ARC-706 for combination use with certain validated immunotherapies across a range of cancer types. Preclinical data indicate that this radiopharmaceutical agent and treatment paradigm may produce curative responses, as well as immune memory against cancers that are otherwise resistant to these immunotherapies.

Artisanal bread sold at Kroger, Walmart voluntarily recalled
Hartford Bakery is voluntarily recalling hundreds of loaves of one of its artisanal breads because the products may contain undeclared hazelnuts, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) said. Out of an abundance of caution, the company, headquartered in West Hartford, Connecticut, issued a recall for its 'Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf' on July 10, according to the FDA. The company warns that "people with a nut allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions" if they consume the bread. Hartford Bakery said it had removed all products linked to the six affected production lots. The recalled bread was distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin retailers, including Kroger and Walmart, according to the FDA. The FDA said there had been no major reports of injury or illness related to the recalled bread. "Hartford Bakery is aware of one customer who experienced digestive discomfort after consumption," the recall reads. "Hartford Bakery also received consumer complaints from those who saw the nuts before consuming the product." What does the recalled artisanal bread look like? The recalled bread comes in a flexible plastic bag marked with the following information: How was the undeclared allergen found? Hartford Bakery initiated the recall after finding that about 883 loaves of bread from six production lots contained visible hazelnuts and were distributed in 'Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf' packaging. Although the packaging reads "May Contain Tree Nuts," it does not say that it "Contains Hazelnuts." An investigation by the company revealed that an error in packaging led to the allergen being undeclared. Jonathan Limehouse covers breaking and trending news for USA TODAY. Reach him at JLimehouse@
