Q-linea AB (publ) (OMX:QLINEA), today announced that Hvidovre Hospital in Denmark will participate in the company's European pivotal clinical study, which will start in the autumn of 2020.
Through the choice of Hvidovre Hospital, Q-linea has now chosen the sites required to be able to start the prospective performance study with 80 to 100 patients during the autumn of 2020. The study will take place internally at Q-linea, at Hvidovre Hospital and at Uppsala University Hospital.
“The interest in testing ASTar® has been great from several hospitals and I am very happy that Hvidovre Hospital wants to participate in the study. Hvidovre Hospital is precisely the type of larger hospital for which ASTar is designed and we have had a long relationship during the development of ASTar,” said Jonas Jarvius, CEO of Q-linea.
The results of the study will be part of the documentation in the ongoing process for CE-IVD approval prior to the market launch of ASTar. The principal investigator at Hvidovre Hospital will be Dr. Gorm Lisby.
