    Also known as PEP503, NBTXR3 is injected via syringe directly into tumors by a surgeon. [6] [7] The drug then creates free radicals when exposed to x-rays. [7] It is composed of hafnium oxide nanoparticles. [6] [8] The company is running four trials on the drug simultaneously.

  3. Radiopharmacology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiopharmacology

    Radiopharmacology is radiochemistry applied to medicine and thus the pharmacology of radiopharmaceuticals (medicinal radiocompounds, that is, pharmaceutical drugs that are radioactive). Radiopharmaceuticals are used in the field of nuclear medicine as radioactive tracers in medical imaging and in therapy for many diseases (for example ...

  4. Radionuclide therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide_therapy

    This is a type of targeted therapy which uses the physical, chemical and biological properties of the radiopharmaceutical to target areas of the body for radiation treatment. [3] The related diagnostic modality of nuclear medicine employs the same principles but uses different types or quantities of radiopharmaceuticals in order to image or ...

  5. Radiopharmaceutical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiopharmaceutical

    Radiopharmaceuticals, or medicinal radiocompounds, are a group of pharmaceutical drugs containing radioactive isotopes. Radiopharmaceuticals can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Radiopharmaceuticals emit radiation themselves, which is different from contrast media which absorb or alter external electromagnetism or ultrasound.

  6. Radium-223 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium-223

    [5] [6] Radium-223 dichloride is an alpha particle-emitting radiotherapy drug that mimics calcium and forms complexes with hydroxyapatite at areas of increased bone turnover. [7] The principal use of radium-223, as a radiopharmaceutical to treat metastatic cancers in bone , takes advantage of its chemical similarity to calcium , and the short ...

    The concept of nuclear pharmacy was first described in 1960 by Captain William H. Briner while at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.Along with Mr. Briner, John E. Christian, who was a professor in the School of Pharmacy at Purdue University, had written articles and contributed in other ways to set the stage of nuclear pharmacy.

    Complete or partial treatment response has been seen in 20-30% of patients in trials treated with 177 Lu-DOTATATE or 90 Y-DOTATOC, among the most widely used PRRT drugs. [ 1 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] When it comes to comparing these two PRRT, Y-labeled and Lu-labeled PRRTs, it appears that Y-labeled is more effective for larger tumors, while Lu ...
