HOUSTON, Texas - June 3,
2005 - Cell>Point obtained the worldwide patent and technology
license to Oligosaccharide Conjugates for Dual Imaging and
Radio/Chemotherapy developed at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson
Cancer Center. This novel technology is facilitating the development of
combination modality diagnostic imaging agents and new combination
radio/chemotherapeutic agents for use in oncology, cardiology,
neuroendocrinology and infectious diseases. The imaging agents will be
used in SPECT/CT and PET/CT. These combination agents should shorten the
time the patient has to spend in the imaging session. This dual agent
technology is also facilitating the development of targeted
radio/chemotherapeutic agents. The objective is for the medical
oncologist/radiation oncologist to be able to administer targeted
radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the same time in a single dose to the
patient. Since this technology also uses Cell>Point EC Technology, the
combination of the two technologies should make a very versatile
imaging/therapy platform.
