Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the assembly of elements, so as to produce radioactive devices.
  • One of the potential applications lies in the injection into the human body, for diagnostic or curative purposes, of this type of device as such, or as part of a system used in curative medicine or for diagnostic.
  • Radionuclides are commonly used in various fields of technology, in biology but also in other fields, either as markers or tracers for the purpose of characterization or diagnosis of media, or as therapeutic agents in nuclear medicine, and more specifically in radiotherapy.
  • markers or tracers When used as tracers, including in non-biological applications, the question of the reliability of the measured results may arise in some cases, and hence the interpretation that is made of these results as to the characterization of the medium studied.
  • radionuclides like other types of tracers such as fluorescent markers for example, are likely to interact with the surrounding environment. in which they are placed. These interactions, especially when the surrounding environment is not well known or controlled, can disrupt or even distort the interpretation of the measurements.
  • radionuclides are also used in nuclear medicine as therapeutic agents, and more specifically in targeted radiotherapy.
  • Targeted radiotherapy uses the biological differences between the cancer cells constituting a tumor and the healthy cells, so as to selectively deliver the radionuclides so that the tumor receives a greater amount of radiation than the healthy cells. Therefore, we try to bring the radionuclides near the cancer cells, in order to deliver the maximum dose.
  • radionuclides In brachytherapy, this is achieved by physically implanting physical elements (seeds) loaded with radionuclides.
  • These elements are usually in the form of rods, a few millimeters long and less than a millimeter in diameter. They are implanted in the human body by a surgical act.
  • the radio-nuclides are linked to molecular vectors, that is to say to chemical or biological, natural or synthetic molecules such as antibodies, and in particular monoclonal antibodies, or fragments of these antibodies, or peptides, lipids and saccharides with a recognized affinity for markers (receptors at the cell surface) specific to certain types of cancer cells.
  • Radionuclides are ordered to a company, and the precursors (vectors) to other companies.
  • radioactive atoms per molecular vector is very small. Usually one can bind a single radioactive atom per vector. However, radio-chemists have very recently developed configurations of dendrimer-type molecules, in order to increase the number of atoms grafted by vector. 3. In the case of treatment of large tumors, the problem arises to treat both the periphery and the center of the tumor as effectively. 4.

  • the present invention aims to provide a solution in the context of targeted radiotherapy.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution that is compatible with this application, that is to say that is not radiotoxic for the human body and / or animal.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution for effectively removing cancer cells from a patient.
  • the present invention aims to propose a solution for eradicating the largest number of cancer cells to avoid any risk of subsequent recurrence or dissemination, while preserving as much as possible the healthy cells surrounding said cancer cells.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution that allows a specific elimination of cancer cells.
  • the present invention also aims at providing a sufficiently flexible solution that effectively eliminates cancer cells regardless of their stage of development and regardless of their accessibility in the body of the patient, that is to say say whatever their location in the patient's body, periphery or depth.
  • the present invention also aims at providing a modular solution as a function of time.
  • the present invention also aims at providing a solution for visualizing and therefore to locate the therapeutic agents in the body of the treated patient.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a solution to avoid the problem of opsonization that could occur in the case where a molecule, not produced by the human body, is used as a therapeutic agent.
  • the present invention aims to propose monitoring the biodistribution of grafted biomarkers, and this with the aid of appropriate monitoring devices.
  • Radioactivity is defined in the present invention as the property of an unstable or radioactive atomic nucleus to spontaneously transform into a or several nuclei of other elements emitting during this transformation a radioactive radiation.
