  • Publication number: 20140086831
    Abstract: The present invention provides soluble single wall nanotube (SWNT) constructs functionalized with a plurality of a targeting moiety and a plurality of one or more payload molecules attached thereto. The targeting moiety and the payload molecules may be attached to the soluble SWNT via a DNA or other oligomer platform attached to the SWNT. These soluble SWNT constructs may comprise a radionuclide or contrast agent and as such are effective as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Methods provided herein are to diagnosing or locating a cancer, treating a cancer, eliciting an immune response against a cancer or delivering an anticancer drug in situ via an enzymatic nanofactory using the soluble SWNT constructs.

  • Publication number: 20130295008
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for treating non-malignant cell diseases by administering to an individual a construct comprising actinium-225 or bismuth-213 and an antigen of a non-malignant cell. Also, provided is a method for treating a solid tumor associated with an abnormal proliferation of cells by targeting an antigen of the tumor-associated vasculature with the constructs.

  • Patent number: 8486409
    Abstract: The present invention discloses alpha particle emitting, radioactive constructs capable of killing large tumors (>1 mm in diameter), or other cells involved in human or animal diseases such as virus infected cells, autoimmune cells, or other pathological cells, including normal cells, that are targets for destruction, to achieve a therapeutic result. The alpha-emitting constructs have high specific activity.

  • Publication number: 20040191169
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of reducing nephrotoxicityfrom at least one alpha particle-emitting daughter of actinium-225 during radioimmunotherapeutic treatment for a pathophysiological condition, methods of improving radioimmunotherapeutic treatment of cancer and methods of increasing the therapeuticindex of an actinium-225 radioimmunoconjugate during treatment of a pathophysiological condition. Adjuvants effective for preventing accumulation of 225Ac daughters within the kidneys are administered during treatment with an actinium-225 radioimmunoconjugate to reduce nephrotoxicity. Examples of adjuvants are chelators, diuretics and/or competitive metal blockers.

  • Publication number: 20040166060
    Abstract: The present invention provides targeted delivery of alpha particle-emitting radionuclides and their alpha-emitting progeny using liposomal encapsulation to reduce the loss of daughter radionuclides from the targeting vehicle and, therefore, from the tumor site. Also provided are encapsulated alpha particle-emitting radionuclides.
