Regulatory News:
THERACLION (ISIN: FR0010120402; Mnemo: ALTHE), an innovative
company developing a scalable robotic platform for non-invasive
ultrasound therapy to treat varicose vein disease, announced at
the 2022 AVLS congress in New Orleans, Louisiana (US), on October
14th, that the final patient enrolled in the first SONOVEIN® study
in the United States has been treated.
Finalized enrollment in the US study on echotherapy for
varicose veins
In total, 20 patients were enrolled in this clinical trial
approved by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) in early 2022.
Conducting the clinical trial are Dr Steve Elias, principal
investigator, Dr Nicos Labropoulos, and Dr Antonios Gasparis, all
three internationally recognized vein specialists with more than 30
years of experience each. SONOVEIN® HD utilizes a robotic platform
that integrates the best-in-class, high-definition MACH30 10-12Mhz
ultrasound imaging system with high intensity focused ultrasound to
obliterate the source of venous reflux completely
non-invasively.
Encouraging early results presented at the 2022 AVLS
congress
Early results were presented at the 36th American Vein &
Lymphatic Society (AVLS) Annual Congress in New Orleans, Louisiana,
on October 14th. Dr Elias highlighted that 19/20 (95%) of cases had
no reflux at one week interval. The completion of the study was
three months interval, 10 out of 10 had no reflux. There were no
reported adverse events. All patients were treated without local or
tumescent anesthesia. No post procedure compression was
utilized.
Dr Elias shared during the congress that SONOVEIN® HD enabled
faster treatment than previous generations and that he ‘only needed
his pencil and his ultrasound gel’ to treat his patients. He also
stated that all treated patients would recommend it to others:
‘this highlights that patients can be treated sitting in an exam
chair and return to normal activity immediately’.
Dr Michel Nuta, Chief Medical Officer at Theraclion, said: ‘a
95% success rate, taking the learning curve into account, is very
encouraging and reflects well the great clinical and technical
developments behind SONOVEIN® HD’.
Next on the agenda: this study’s closure, and the start of a
full pivotal study
The US is the largest market for varicose veins with an
estimated 2.3 million procedures representing a $5 Billion
healthcare spending. Following the upcoming closure of this
clinical trial, a full pivotal study for FDA review should take
place next.
About Theraclion
At Theraclion we believe that surgery, as we know it, is
outdated. It converts optimistic patients into anxious individuals,
brilliant doctors into exhausted system executors and stretches
healthcare systems to the limit. We have disrupted this convention
by creating extracorporeal treatment platforms. We replace surgery
with a robotic treatment from outside the body using High Intensity
Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Our leading edge echotherapy platforms
are currently CE marked in non-invasive treatment of varicose veins
with SONOVEIN® and of breast fibroadenomas and thyroid nodules with
Echopulse®.
Located in Malakoff, near Paris, our employees live and breathe
innovation by extensive clinical research and harness artificial
intelligence. The market of varicose veins treatment alone requires
around 5 million procedures annually. It is a dynamic market in
which we change paradigms by making non-invasive echotherapy the
new standard.
