Lund, Sweden April 9, 2024 - Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB (publ) ("CLS" or "the company") today announced that it has received its second order from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in the US for its TRANBERG Thermal Therapy System accessories.
The order of single-use sterile instruments includes introducers, temperature probes, and unique, non-cooled laser applicators that will be used to assess the clinical utility of CLS's TRANBERG Thermal Therapy System towards MRI/Ultrasound fusion-guided focal laser ablation (FLA) of prostate tissue and prostate cancer in male patients.
The order falls under the research collaboration agreement between NIH and CLS that was launched (https://clinicallaser.se/cision/?id=25D3D06C4AD3590C) in April last year.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and in the US, over one million prostate biopsies are performed every year leading to a diagnosis of prostate cancer for almost 250,000 men. Focal laser ablation of prostate tumors has demonstrated high levels of precision and accuracy with low risk of side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
"This second order enables our continued research collaboration with NIH that evaluates our TRANBERG products for focal laser ablation to treat prostate cancer. The goal of the research collaboration and this study is to demonstrate that image-guided focal laser ablation is a safe and effective treatment option with the absence of the typical side effects often associated with radiation and surgical treatment," says Dan J. Mogren, CEO, CLS.
