From Joe Burnett, President & CEO:
As we move toward the post-pandemic era, we are proud to share many wonderful recent ClearPoint Neuro achievements with you, our customers and partners.
Clinically, we have seen a restoration to near pre-pandemic levels of elective procedures at hospitals across the United States. In Europe, despite remaining travel restrictions, our team has also been busy visiting a number of centers, including in Warsaw, Poland to prepare for upcoming Site Initiation Visits for biologics and drug delivery trials.
We have also experienced a number of ClearPoint 'firsts' this past quarter. Last month Dr. Clark Chen from the University of Minnesota Medical Center performed the first-in-human cases with our next generation SmartFrame Array hardware and software system, currently in limited market release. Array is an exciting innovation because it signifies our expansion beyond the MRI suite into the operating room, where the majority of neurosurgical procedures still take place. Additionally, earlier this month our team supported the first all-ClearPoint delivery into the brain of stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons for a Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease sponsored by BlueRock Therapeutics. And finally, in May, we announced an important partnership with D&K Engineering to develop our first robotic platform, designed for both the MRI suite and OR.
We also have exciting events planned this summer, including the grand opening of our new Training and Innovation Center in Solana Beach, California where we plan to host Fellows training programs, Medical Advisory Boards, pharmaceutical partners and investor meetings. In case you missed the sneak peek of our new location, check it out here.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our mission and team. We can't wait to see you all in person again soon.
