NaviFUS’ research on combining focused ultrasound (FUS) with re-radiotherapy for the treatment of recurrent glioblatoma (rGBM) tumors has shown quite some promise in its recent clinical trial, and both the preliminary clinical results and previous preclinical data have been published in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology
The NaviFUS System developed by NaviFUS Corp. was a winner of the TIE Award during Taiwan Innotech Expo this year. The device plans to complete a multi-national Phase III clinical trial, so the company is seeking to cooperate with major pharmaceuticals companies worldwide in testing their drugs or acquiring funding to obtain a sales license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Furthermore, the equipment needs specialized semiconductor components and microprocessors to generate and receive ultrasound. Hence, the company is searching for industry partners to engage in joint R&D to make the equipment smaller, so that patients will not need to go to a hospital and can use the equipment in a clinic or even at home.
The NaviFUS® System, the Neuronavigation-guided focused ultrasound system developed by NaviFUS Corp., has completed a Phase II clinical trial in Taiwan for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Primary efficacy assessment data has shown promising results, and subsequently, the company plans to initiate a Phase III trial in Taiwan and a clinical trial in the United States. Additionally, it is exploring opportunities for international collaboration and patent sublicensing.
NaviFUS Corporation proudly announces its receipt of an Honorable Mention at the esteemed 2023 Tech Innovation Excellence Award (TIE Award), underscoring the groundbreaking impact of its Neuronavigation-Guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS) System. This recognition is in the competitive Semiconductors category, highlighting NaviFUS’ proficiency of integrating novel chip and circuit design theory in the FUS domain and establishing itself as a major force among seasoned veterans in Taiwan’s high-tech landscape.
NaviFUS and Bracco have recently made great progress towards an early-stage cooperation agreement that is expected to be finalized in the near future. Bracco’s microbubble products will be used together with NaviFUS’ NaviFUS system, which uses focused ultrasound to stimulate microbubbles to temporarily open the Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) and allow enhanced drug delivery.
