Additional Relevant Details The previously filed non-provisional US and International (PCT) patent applications for Phospholipid-Ether Analogs as Cancer Targeting Drug Vehicles have received their US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) identification numbers and have been published by the USPTO, which marks the next step in the application process for approval and issuance of these patents.
As previously stated, these patents will protect both composition of matter and method of use for those phospholipid drug conjugates, or PDCs, developed with Cellectar's proprietary phospholipid-ether delivery vehicle conjugated with any existing or future cytotoxic agents, including chemotherapeutics such as paclitaxel, for targeted delivery to cancer cells and cancer stem cells.
