Fluorescence Guided Surgical and Interventional Oncology

The Global Challenge Currently, the identification of tumours during surgery or interventional endoscopy relies on visual inspection and palpation. As tumour tissue is sometimes difficult to distinguish from healthy tissue surgical resection of tumour is incomplete in up to 40% of procedures1. This has medical as well as financial implications, impairing patient treatment outcomes.

Our Response A development pipeline combining highly sensitive imaging systems with tumour targeted imaging agents to visualize tumours during surgical or interventional procedures in real-time, enabling a more sensitive and accurate detection of the tumour1.

Fluorescence Guided Surgical Oncology
Fluorescence Guided Surgical Oncology
The imaging agent BEVA800TM labels cancer lesions during laparotomy in patients diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin employing the EXPLORER AIR prototype (Harlaar et al. (2016) Lancet Gastroenterol. 1:283-90).

Disclaimer: BEVA800TM is under investigational use and not commercially available.

EXPLORER AIR® II

The EXPLORER AIR® II is an intra-operative imaging system to visualize fluorescence in the near infra-red range in vivo. It has been designed to combine highest sensitivity with reliable imaging fidelity and convenience of use.
The system allows real-time imaging during surgery and its prototype has been tested by academic centres in a variety of indications 2.

The EXPLORER AIR® II is cleared by the US FDA for ICG based perfusion imaging as well as in conjunction with pafolacianine. It is CE marked for perfusion imaging in the EU.
