HOUSTON, Texas - June 2002 - Cell>Point L.L.C.
(Englewood, CO) received approval of its
Investigational New Drug Application for
99mTc-EC-Deoxyglucose (known in the clinical
trial as "CP6262") from the FDA on June 26. The
Phase I clinical trial will be conducted at The
University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston, Texas. CP6262 is a technetium-99m
labeled molecular imaging agent that will be
used as a diagnostic tool in oncology to
identify active tumors. The agent will image
tumors using a SPECT (gamma) camera. The 36
patient clinical trial will evaluate head, neck
and lung tumor images using CP6262 as compared
to FDG-PET images of the same patients. CP6262
will be the first universal functional imaging
agent developed for use with SPECT cameras which
substantially outnumber PET cameras worldwide.
