Radioembolization Samarium Therapy

About

Innovative microspheres for targeted cancer therapy

This project advances targeted cancer treatment using a novel microsphere loaded with radioactive Samarium-153 (Sm-153). Designed for low production cost and optimal effectiveness, these microspheres emit both beta and gamma radiation, allowing for precise treatment and monitoring. Delivered through minimally invasive injection, they irradiate tumours with high-energy beta radiation, sparing healthy tissue, while gamma rays enable imaging. Promising preclinical results show significant tumour reduction. The project is moving towards Phase I clinical trials and aims to extend its application to various cancers
