Story of QuadraMetTM

• Sm-153 identified as a useful nuclide for radiotherapy by MU researchers• Development began in early 1980’s at MU in collaboration with the Dow Chemical

Company [phosphonate ligands]• Successful in palliative treatment of bone cancer in canine patients, with added bonus

of ~ 15% cure rate [MU College of Veterinary Medicine program of Comparative Oncology]

• Clinical trials began in late 1980’s, with doses supplied by MURR for Phase I studies• ~ 80% efficacy, with ~ 25% obtaining full pain remission• Approved in U.S. for pain palliation of metastatic bone cancer in March, 1997

Yttrium-90 Microspheres

Nearly 100% blood supply of a liver tumor comes from hepatic artery

Effective treatment with minimal toxicityOutpatient procedure

Yttrium-90 Microspheres

Average diameter of microspheres - 20 -30 mYttrium is an integral part of the glass matrixDelbert Day (University of Missouri - Rolla) and Gary

Ehrhardt (University of Missouri - Columbia) U.S. Patent 4,789,501 December 6, 1988

Preparation of Active Microspheres

Y-89 microspheres are irradiated in the MU-Research Reactor (MURR), resulting in the conversion of the non-radioactive yttrium to Y-90, a powerful - emitter (64.2 hr half-life, average distance in tissue: 2.5 mm)

Yttrium-90 Microspheres

In a recent study (Dancy et al., J. Nucl. Med. 41: 1673-1681, 2000), patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were treated with 100 Gy

Outcome: 79% patients decreased or had stable disease for a median of 10.3 months vs. 1 - 4 months for untreated patients

Yttrium-90 Microspheres become TheraSphere®

March, 2000: MDS Nordion (Kanata, Ont. Canada) was granted a Humanitarian Device Exemption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an alternative to chemotherapy in inoperable cases

Centerfor Single Photon-Emitting

Cancer Imaging AgentsFive year grant award from the National Cancer

Institute of the National Institutes of Health, 8/01/03 - 7/31/08

Complements on-going interdisciplinary research at MU focused on imaging and therapeutic applications of radioisotopes

Includes a career development component, supporting undergraduate research activities.

MURR Archaeometry Lab

NAA became the preeminent technique in archaeometric materials analysis following the pioneering work at the national labs in the late 1960s and early 1970s

• unequalled replicability• sensitivity down to sub-ppm level• almost no matrix effect• fully instrumental, multi-element characterization

• Collaborative projects with US archaeologists at academic institutions or museums in 46 states

• Service to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologists in 15 states

• Collaborations with archaeologists in 15 countries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Far East

Epidemiological studies have associatedlow selenium intake with increased cancer

risk• Population-Based Studies: Cancer incidence or mortality is inversely proportional to regional indicators of status.

• Case-Control Studies: In some case-control studies, selenium status, measured in a prospectively-collected biologic monitor, is lower in cancer cases compared to matched controls.

• Intervention Trials: Cancer incidence and mortality risks are lower among participants taking a supranutritional selenium supplement compared to control subjects in double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
