  • Publication number: 20220409751
    Abstract: A targeted radiopharmaceutical of chemical Formula I, below, is disclosed wherein Q+3 is a trivalent radioactive isotope ion; M is a proton (H+), an ammonium ion or an alkali metal ion; ā€œgā€ is a number that is 1 to about 12; the boxed mAb MNPR-101 represents the chemically-bonded humanized mAb MNPR-101; and Y? is an optional anion present in an amount needed to balance the ionic charge.

  • Publication number: 20220378956
    Abstract: A targeted radiopharmaceutical comprising a targeting species chemically-bonded to a PCTA-chelated Q+3 trivalent radioactive ion of Formula I is disclosed. Six of R1 through R7 are H and the seventh is a reacted functionality, Z, that forms the chemical bond with the targeting species, T. ā€œgā€ is a number whose average value is 1 to about 12. X1, X2, and X3, are substituent groups that can coordinate to the Q+3 ion and/or help neutralize the ionic charge. Anion Y? is optionally present to balance the ionic charge. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a theranostic effective amount of a targeted radiopharmaceutical of Formula I in a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent is also contemplated, as are a method for treating and/or diagnosing a mammalian host having a disease, disorder or condition characterized by undesired angiogenesis, tumor growth and/or tumor metastasis.

  • Publication number: 20220273828
    Abstract: This invention relates to a Kit formulation to prepare a radioactive, bone-seeking, pharmaceutical drug that has high radiochemical purity (RCP) in a fast, facile and reproducible process. The Kit has at least two vials and a two-part buffer system with instructions on how to make the drug formulation in a radiopharmacy. The drug formulations of this invention can be conveniently and reproducibly prepared with better delivery of the drug to mammals, better radiochemical purity of the formulation for use in treating a mammal having bone pain, one or more calcific tumors or needing bone marrow suppression or bone marrow ablation.

  • Publication number: 20200261494
    Abstract: This invention relates to a solid veterinary formulation and a method for its oral administration to an animal, especially cats or dogs, to remove fluid overload in the animal by using a mixture of a water-absorbing polymer and solid fat, optionally having one or more supplemental ingredients. The fluid overload is caused by congestive heart failure or renal disease. The polymer is capable of absorbing at least 10 times its weight in physiological saline. The polymer and other waste materials are excreted in the feces.

  • Publication number: 20120251442
    Abstract: This invention provides a safer and more effective treatment for non-intracavitary undesirable tissue masses, especially bone cancer and soft tissue tumors. The method involves the direct administration of a therapeutically-effective dose of a formulated radioisotope composition nearby or directly into the tissue mass. Small volumes of the composition are used. Administration of the dose for bone cancer may be done through a hole or multiple holes created in the bone using a miniature drill. Delivery of the dose directly into a tumor may be accomplished using a microsyringe or a miniature pump capable of accurately delivering microliter amounts of material.
