- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute awarded a $736,168 Project Grant to Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research (award date: August 1, 2025; completion date: July 31, 2030) under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to develop novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs) designed to enhance radiotherapy efficacy through antigen-specific radiosensitization. The research focuses on delivering potent DNA damage...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $161,460 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to Massachusetts General Hospital, effective June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2028. This award supports the development of a novel quantitative predictive dosimetry framework for transarterial radioembolization (TARE), a curative radiation therapy treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other liver tumors. The research will deliver three primary products: (1) a patient-specific liver vasculature model developed from pre-treatment imaging studies, (2) an HCC-specific uptake model to predict yttrium-90 (Y-90) microsphere distribution, and (3) an integrated TARE dosimetry schema capable of predicting realistic dose distributions to tumors. This work addresses a critical clinical limitation by establishing quantitative, predictive dosimetry methods to replace current inaccurate surrogate approaches used in personalized radiation therapy planning. The research will utilize a retrospective cohort of treatment-naive HCC patients treated at Massachusetts General Hospital with the radiation segmentectomy technique to validate and refine the dosimetry framework. By combining patient-specific vascular anatomy with tumor uptake characteristics, the resulting dosimetry schema is intended to enable more accurate dose prediction and optimization for TARE procedures, ultimately improving treatment efficacy and clinical outcomes. The two-year project represents an investment in translational oncology research aligned with the National Cancer Program's strategic priorities in precision medicine and cancer treatment innovation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
