The present invention provides a method for targeting boron atoms to tumor cells in a patient. The method includes the steps of: (A) administering a targeting composition comprising a conjugate of: (i) at least one first antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment which selectively binds to an antigen produced by or associated with the tumor cells and present at the tumor cells, and (ii) at least one second antibody or antibody fragment which specifically binds to a hapten on a boron compound; (B) optionally, a clearing composition; (C) said boron compound; and (D) optionally, a second clearing composition. The method may further comprise the step of irradiating the boron atoms of the boron compound, thereby effecting BNCT of the tumor cells. Compositions and kits for carrying out the method also are provided.

L'invention concerne un procédé de ciblage des atomes de bore sur des cellules cancéreuses, qui comprend les étapes suivantes: (A) administration d'une composition de ciblage renfermant un conjugué (i) d'au moins un premier anticorps ou de fragment d'anticorps de liaison avec l'antigène qui assure une liaison sélective avec un antigène produit par les cellules tumorales ou associé avec elles et présent dans ces cellules, et (ii) au moins un second anticorps ou fragment d'anticorps se liant spécifiquement avec un haptène sur un composé de bore; (B) éventuellement, une composition d'éclaircissement; (C) ledit composé de bore; et (D) éventuellement, une seconde composition d'éclaircissement. Une autre étape peut consister à irradier les atomes de bore du composé de bore, ce qui entraîne une capture des cellules tumorales par les neutrons de bore. L'invention concerne également des compositions et des kits pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé.
