Personalized Dosimetry for Radiopharmaceutical Therapy

IROC to Use Voximetry Software in NCTN Clinical Trials

Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) to Evaluate α- and β- Dosimetry with Torch

November 9, 2020

According to the scientific needs of clinical trials led by the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN), groups receive support from the IROC group and others. To support current and future trials, IROC plans to evaluate the potential of dosimetry in alpha- and beta-emitting Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) clinical trials.

Voximetry's voxel-based dosimetric software, Torch, is included in the evaluation plans.

Voximetry is a company focused on implementing complex software algorithms on high speed Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to assist in cancer care planning.

IROC is a center for the evaluation of data produced by clinical trials funded by the National Cancer Institute, as part of the NCTN to provide integrated radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging quality control programs and to assure high quality data for clinical trials designed to improve the clinical outcomes for cancer patients worldwide.

IROC is the first industry group to install and train on Voximetry software.

Voximetry Awarded $1.8 Million Grant from National Cancer Institute to Advance the Development of its Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Dosimetry Software

MADISON, Wis.--Voximetry Inc., an early stage medical software company with unique technology for personalized Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) planning, has been awarded a substantial grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) to advance development of its proprietary software for RPT dosimetry.

According to Voximetry CEO, Dr. Sue Wallace, “We are grateful to the NCI. This grant will accelerate our work to provide a tool that enables clinicians to personalize care for individual patients and thereby achieve better outcomes, including better quality of life after treatment.”

The field of RPT is expanding rapidly in the U.S. with procedure volumes increasing in multiple specialty areas including Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and Interventional Radiology departments. A March 2020 review by top experts published in the Lancet indicates the field of RPT will exceed $5B in the next 5 years. In addition to currently approved treatments, at least 100 clinical trials using new RPT agents are currently underway, focused primarily on Prostate, Lymphoma, Thyroid, Liver, and Neuroendocrine tumors.

“Our TORCH software will provide the information needed to help physicians prescribe the right number of therapy cycles and the right therapy dose per cycle,” said Dr. Joe Grudzinski, Chief Innovation Officer at Voximetry. “After treatment, our users will know how much therapeutic dose was delivered to the targeted disease sites, as well as to healthy tissue and critical organs. Torch information can help doctors prescribe just enough dose to treat the disease and still protect important organs like the kidneys, lungs, or salivary glands.”

The $1.8 Million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the NCI will fund commercial development of Voximetry’s Torch software and demonstration of safety and efficacy.

As part of this grant, University of WI collaborators will use Voximetry’s software for retrospective assessment of RPT treatments.
