NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (API), a biopharmaceutical company that develops innovative targeted payload immunotherapeutics, announced that it has engaged Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd.and launched a new round of fundraising that will culminate in a going public transaction.
The Company intends to raise up to $20 million in new funds to be used for further clinical development of Actimab-A and Iomab-B, Actinium’s clinical stage drug candidates for treatment of hematologic malignancies, and continued preclinical development of additional drug candidates in solid cancer indications as well as for general working purposes.
“With this capital raise we will be able to progress our pipeline further in terms of generating proof of concept results for our Actimab-A program in elderly acute myeloid leukemia and advance our Iomab-B program into a registration trial to enable a bone marrow transplant in patients otherwise ineligible for this curative procedure,” said Jack Talley, Actinium’s CEO.
