Multiple support: China's BNCT is expected to benefit patients soon
According to Li-Ji Wang, the historical clinical data from worldwild research institutions has shown that BNCT has obvious therapeutic effect in treatment of malignant tumors. Neuboron is a BNCT pioneer in China.
Qing-Jie Liu said radiation protection and safety in nuclear medicine is integral to radiological health, adding that the strategic partnership agreement will enhance the standardized application of BNCT in China.
BNCT is a very promising medical technology as it is in keeping with China's technology innovation strategy, said Wei-Qi Wei.
"Neuboron is a trustworthy partner with an excellent R&D team," said Min-Gang Ying. "With its strong medical expertise in BNCT, we are confident of a fast clinical development of BNCT."
"The Xiamen BNCT center defines itself as an international research harbor which aims not only to facilitate BNCT research with Chinese scientists, but also to explore the knowledge of BNCT together with talents and scholars worldwide," Dr. Yuan-Hao Liu, chief scientist and CEO of Neuboron, one of the initiators of this ceremony said. "The Xiamen BNCT center is now under commissioning and V&V. It aims to conduct preclinical animal study in the Autumn, and the goal is to perform the first human clinical study against time."
Complementary advantages: promoting the establishment of BNCT quality control system and standard
As the accelerator-based BNCT becomes increasingly popular in hospital in China, the industry is in urgent need of well-established regulations and standards, adequate quality control and assessment system, and scientific clinical guidelines. The parties have complementary advantages in BNCT development, quality control and testing, radiation protection, and clinical practices.
National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (NIRP, China CDC), is a national specialized technical institution for radiological medicine and radiation protection, affiliated to the Ministry of Health and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and is a professional guiding centre in this field nationwide.
Fujian Center for Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases and Chemical Poisoning is a government-affiliated public health institution that provides technical support for the prevention and control of occupational diseases as well as medical facilities for the treatment of chemical poisonings and nuclear radiations. It boasts a high-performance talent team and excellent nuclear medicine therapy.
Xiamen Humanity Hospital is the first medical institution in China to build an accelerator-based BNCT facility, and it has abundant clinical resources and top medical experts. Its BNCT Center has now become the top BNCT clinical research harbor in China.
Neuboron Medical Group founded in 2014 is an innovative industrial enterprise specialized in R&D of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy(BNCT) total solution. Neuboron has successfully delivered a unique AB-BNCT system NeuPexTM for the 1st BNCT Clinical Center in China.
