Trial Information
Pediatric brain cancer is relatively rare. However, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the U.S. Brain and spinal cord tumors are the 2nd most common cancers in children, accounting for ~26% of childhood cancers.
Plus Therapeutics is developing the Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda radiotherapeutic for the treatment of rare, frequently fast-growing pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors with a poor prognosis – ependymoma and high-grade glioma (HGG). The ReSPECT-PBC (Pediatric Brain Cancer) U.S. Phase 1 Clinical Trial is planned to start in 2025.
“Children with brain tumors have limited options & 186RNL delivered with a minimally invasive procedure could be an important new potential option for these patients.”

What is a Nanoliposome?
Nanoliposomes are a safe and reliable way to encapsulate, deliver and retain radiation within a specific injection site. We design nanoliposomes at 100 nanometers, the ideal size to facilitate accumulation and retention at the site of injection. As nanoliposomes are...
