[{"type":"text","content":"Salt Lake City, UT, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an advanced ceramics company that develops and commercializes materials, components, and technologies for medical and technical applications, announces the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with NED Medical Inc., an innovative developer of oncology embolization therapy technologies. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of advanced ceramic-based microspheres, a groundbreaking advancement in radiotherapeutic applications. The partnership will see SINTX leverage its expertise in ceramic manufacturing to support NED medical’s pre-clinical testing needs and perform the necessary process validation and verification activities to transition the microsphere process from the R&D scale to pilot production. “Our successful manufacturing feasibility collaboration with NED Medical demonstrated that SINTX could manufacture novel ceramic-based microspheres containing the Yttrium-90 radioisotope that met NED Medical’s preliminary specifications for a transarterial radioembolization (TARE) device for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Further, these engineered microspheres contain porosity, allowing their future adaptation for targeted chemotherapy and combination therapies,” said Dr. Ryan Bock, CTO of SINTX Technologies. During this JDA, SINTX and NED Medical will collaborate closely, optimizing microsphere production, finalizing characterization and safety assessments, and producing microspheres needed to obtain pre-clinical data to be used as part of a device clearance submission. “We are excited to partner with NED Medical to develop next generation radiotherapeutic solutions that may have a transformative impact on cancer treatment,” said Eric K. Olson, CEO of SINTX Technologies. “This JDA underscores our commitment to advancing cutting-edge solutions that leverage our unique ceramic technology, which holds the potential to reshape the landscape of oncological therapies.” “SINTX’s expertise in advanced ceramic processing has facilitated the development of CombiSphere, a next generation, radio-labeled microsphere with differentiated properties, including radiopacity to facilitate new dosimetry modalities and a unique physical structure that allows high per-particle radiation activity at a...
