Shanghai, September 29, 2022 – Congratulations to NanoRay Biotech Co., Ltd.’s [Auger Molecular Therapy], which has been approved by the US FDA for Clinical Trial. “Auger Molecular Therapy” (AMT) is a novel compound cancer treatment method that delivers iodine-containing iodine by intratumoral injection. After the tumor has been irradiated with the drug IUdR, the cancer cells are destroyed by the Auger Effect caused by the single-energy light.
BioDuro-Sundia assists NanoRay Biotech in the development of new dosage forms, API production, as well as the production of clinical trial materials (CTM), which has accelerated NanoRay’s research and development process. It is our hope that NanoRay will succeed in bringing more innovative therapies to patients throughout the world.
NanoRay Biotech has developed X-Ray source technology that has been applied to three fields: industrial inspection, medical imaging, and cancer treatment. In contrast to the continuum spectrum produced by traditional reflection X-rays, NanoRay’s exclusive patented penetrating X-ray tubes produce single-energy light concentrated in a specific energy spectrum section. A monoenergetic light is applied to this Auger molecular therapy at 33KeV, an energy equivalent to the iodine atom’s K-layer electron orbital binding energy. Consequently, when the 33KeV monoenergetic light hits the IUdR nearby the cancer cell’s DNA, a large number of Auger electrons are generated through the iodine atom, damaging the adjacent DNA and killing the cancer cell.
