Now, when summer is approaching and we’re all looking forward to enjoying some days off, it’s time to sumarize the news from the first half of 2024. In recent times, we have achieved great success in our neurology segment. The limited market launch in the US of the ClearPoint® Prism system, powered by CLS, has been successful and a new product, Prism Bone Anchor, which increases the addressable market significantly, has been launched by our partner ClearPoint Neuro Inc.

At the same time, the first clinical data have been presented, and new partnerships have been established within the urology segment.

Focusing on Neurology

Recently, CLS’s strategy was revised to focus more on neurosurgery. In this area CLS´s and ClearPoint Neuro´s joint offering was expanded to provide access to approximately 50 percent of the US market for NeuroLITT treatment in the brain, thanks to the launch of the Prism Bone Anchor.

The increased focus on neurosurgery increases our ability to also exploit the full potential of the market as we now enter the full market release in the US,” says our CEO Dan J. Mogren.

1st patient cases published 

In March, patient data after treatment using the Prism system was published for the first time in “The ClearPoint Prism® Laser Ablation System: A New Platform for Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) in Neuro-Oncology” by Dr Chen et al. Full publication here. 

The study’s objective was to assess the accuracy, safety, and effectiveness of the Prism system. The conclusion was that the ClearPoint Prism system provides technical advances over other currently available laser systems, while also providing a reassuring safety profile in the initial experience.

Full Market release announced

Full market release of ClearPoint PRISM® 3T Laser Therapy System, powered by CLS, was announced 1 June. The newly launched technology was on display at ASSFN2024.

Furthermore, patient recruitment for the CLS-sponsored clinical ctudy at Skåne University Hospital was completed. Professor Peter Siesjö, principal investigator of the study comments,

The treatment system used for surgical intervention and navigation in the MR camera worked excellently in the completed clinical study. The benefits are obvious for the patients with less invasive interventions and shorter treatment times. For the healthcare system, the method provides the opportunity to offer treatment in cases where conventional surgery it not possible or suitable“.

Clinical data and presentations at scientific meetings
  • Data from the investigator-initiated study at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, was presented at the ECR 2024 (European Congress of Radiology) annual meeting in Vienna, Austria. This was the first-time data on the use of CLS’s MR-guided TRANBERG® system for Focal Laser Ablation (FLA) of localized prostate cancer was presented.

CLS hosted a hands-on training session where Dr Pierre-Charles Henry, Besançon, France, talked about his initial experiences from the use of our Ultrasound-guided system for FLA. Dr Henry emphasized the value of real-time temperature measurement to monitor and guide the treatments. Read more here.
