"By investing into the research and development of new radiopharmaceuticals and expanding our distribution network, Siemens is helping to improve access to PET technology, an increasingly essential component to oncological, cardiac and neurological treatments," Reitermann said.
Siemens also recently announced that the National Cancer Institute has filed a cross-reference letter to a Type II Drug Master File that Siemens submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its investigational 3'Deoxy-3'[18F] Fluorothymidine (F-18 FLT) imaging biomarker. The cross reference allows F-18 FLT to be produced by Siemens/PETNET and used by any principle investigator in an NCI multi-center clinical trial. In addition, the imaging biomarker will be available to independent investigators if they receive NCI approval. F-18 FLT is produced by Siemens Molecular Imaging Biomarker Research and PETNET Solutions, subsidiaries of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. The imaging biomarker has been used in studies monitoring the proliferative activity of cancer cells and it is currently being used in Phase-I clinical trials at several research sites.
