10. Composites with Clarity™
Medibord® is a ground-breaking MRI, CT and LINACS compatible couch top and
overlay material developed as a direct response to issues with CT and MR image
fusion; resulting in improved radiotherapy planning and treatment.
Medibord® was developed in response to
an existing need to fuse CT and MR scans in
order to improve the treatment of diseases such
as prostate cancer.
Medibord® allows oncologists to position
Patients with repeated precision to facilitate
CT and MR image fusion.
This has enabled NUH oncologists to achieve
their long-term goal of precisely outlining
prostate cancer patient scans.

14. Virtual Scanning
1. The light which is absorbed and emitted by proteins is a measure of
the levels of proteins expressed from DNA (genotype) and the rate at
which proteins react with their reactive substrates (phenotype)
[reaction conditions]
A > Proteins
[reaction conditions]
light + Proteins + substrates > Proteins* + metabolites + light
2. The reaction conditions which govern the rate at which a proteins
react (pH, temperature, levels of minerals, levels of cofactors, etc) are
physiologically regulated systems.

15. Product Design & Engineering

16. Plastic Antibodies have advantages over biologic counterparts
Biological Antibodies Plastic Antibodies
Target type Epitopes Small molecules, peptides and proteins
Lead time 26 - 52 weeks 2-4 weeks
Stability Poor High physicochemical stability
Storage Refrigerated or frozen Ambient temperature
Conjugation Established Diverse potential

18. Regulatory development of an imaging medicinal
product to Clinical Trial Application
 N Shepherd from Q Scientific Consulting Ltd
 an experienced drug development consultancy: www.qscl.co.uk
 Example: New Chemical Entity (NCE) for local injection
 Development path to the clinical trial, microdose (dose<100µg/subject)
 http://www.mhra.gov.uk/home/groups/l-unit1/documents/websiteresources/con009394.pdf
 Less extensive regulatory requirements
 Need regulatory dossiers: Clinical Trial Application (CTA) ; Investigational
Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD); Investigator Brochure (IB)
 Need defined quality: for synthesis; pharmacodynamics; product (GMP);
analytical methods (GMP); toxicology package (GLP)
 External costs total ~£105K:
 Drug substance manufacture, product formulation & analysis (£45K)
 Toxicity and mutagenicity package (£30-40K)
 QSCL Project management & Regulatory dossier (£28K)
