EDAP Announces First Pancreatic Cancer Patient Treated with Proprietary HIFU Technology
Wednesday, 8th January at 7:00 am
AUSTIN, Texas, January 8, 2025 - EDAP TMS SA (NASDAQ: EDAP), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, today announced that the first patient has been treated in a phase I/II PULS Trial sponsored by the Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France, evaluating proprietary High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology for the treatment of pancreatic tumors.
"The initiation of the PULS Trial represents a major milestone in efforts to develop a new and innovative approach for treating this devastating disease with such poor prognosis," said Professor Aurélien Dupré, MD, PhD, Surgical Oncologist, Centre Léon Bérard, and Principal Investigator of the PULS Trial. "For patients diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, the standard treatment is chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. The low proportion of patients who can benefit from surgery and the scarcity of alternative therapies make the development of new treatments vital and urgent. HIFU has the potential to provide a solution for these patients. This first procedure was performed and completed as planned and the patient was discharged and sent home without complications."
