Cell>Point to present at 52nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting December 4-7, 2010
CENTENNIAL, Colo.,
December 1, 2010 – Dr. Lan V. Pham, Department
of Hematophathology, The University of Texas
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, will be presenting
the following paper titled “Metabolic Targeted
Therapy for Aggressive B-cell Lymphomas:
Evaluating Glucose Metabolism and the Potential
of 187Rhenium-Ethylenedicysteine – N-
AcetylGlucosamine (187Re-EC-G) for
Therapy” at the 52nd American Society
of Hematology Annual Meeting in Orlando,
Florida. 187Re-ECG utilizes
Cell>Point’s intra-nuclear targeting technology
EC-G. The company successfully targeted
lymphoma with EC-G in its Phase 1 99mTc-EC-G
imaging trial conducted several years ago. By
substituting 99mTc with 187Re,
the targeted diagnostic imaging agent is
converted into a target specific therapeutic
agent. Key findings of the presentation show
that 187Re-EC-G enters the nucleus
and impacts the DNA which leads to lymphoma cell
apoptosis. An additional finding suggests that
187Re-Ec-G is an excellent potential
candidate for targeted therapy in aggressive r/r
lymphomas.
