  • January 10, 2017: Sandra Heskamp received a grant of 656.250,- euro towards personalized use of immune checkpoint inhibitors by imaging of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. Immune checkpoints inhibitors activate the patient’s own immune system to kill tumors cells. These agents have shown impressive and durable anti-tumor responses. Unfortunately, only a subgroup of patients benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this KWF proposal, we will develop non-invasive imaging techniques using radiolabeled high-affinity targeting molecules to monitor the expression of immune checkpoints during conventional and experimental anti-cancer therapies. Based on these results, we will design treatment combination strategies to increase the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
  • January 10, 2017: Otto Boerman, Sandra Heskamp and Jan van Hest of the Department of Bio-organic Chemistry, Radboud University received a grant of 584.055,- euro for Bimodal PSMA ligands for intra-operative tumor detection and photodynamic therapy of prostate cancer. One of the main challenges in the management of prostate cancer is the high rate of disease recurrence after radical prostatectomy, due to incomplete resection of lymph node metastases or positive resection margins. In this KWF project, they will develop bimodal PSMA ligands which specifically target prostate cancer cells. These ligands will be labelled with a radionuclide and fluorophore which allows intra-operative radionuclide detection and near-infrared fluorescence imaging of prostate cancer lesions. Furthermore, they will explore the potential of photodynamic therapy to specifically irradiate small prostate cancer lesions.
