From Joe Burnett, President & CEO:
Earlier this quarter we brought our entire field and innovation team (pictured above) together at our Solana Beach headquarters to kick off 2023. I'm delighted to share some key updates of our progress so far this year:
- ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System: Initial experience with Prism has been positive with early LiTT procedures performed at select sites in the U.S., and for the clinical trial in Sweden. We continue to gain experience in 3T MRIs and plan to expand our label to 1.5T in early 2024.
- Biologics and Drug Delivery: We recently signed an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement of IP from UCSF to develop and commercialize a radially branching cellular delivery platform that can be used in the OR under fluoroscopy or CT, or in the MRI. We believe this tool will help unlock additional cell therapy partners in the pre-clinical and clinical trial phase.
- Education for Physicians and Pharma Partners: We are proud to share the latest installment of our peer-to-peer ClearPoint On-Demand webinar series available. Many thanks to Dr. Rees Cosgrove and Dr. Dennis McNicholl for sharing your extensive knowledge with our newer customers as well as pharma partners who are learning how to position prone and work with anesthesia.
I will join several members of our team at the AANS Annual Meeting in Los Angeles next month. Please reach out if you would like to meet with me and our talented team to hear about our recent launches and innovation pipeline.

Patient Undergoes LiTT Procedure at Skåne University Hospital Using the ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System
Hear from a patient who was enrolled in a Glioblastoma clinical trial using the ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden.
In January 2023, the patient suffered a recurrent brain tumor. The team in Lund determined he was candidate for a new clinical study, which allowed his hard-to-reach tumor to be treated by Neurosurgeon Peter Siesjö, MD, PhD using the ClearPoint Prism laser. Two days after surgery, the patient was able to return home. He was the third patient in Europe to undergo a minimally invasive brain tumor ablation procedure with ClearPoint Prism under MRI-guidance.
The Safety & Feasibility of MR-Guided Laser Thermal Ablation of Brain Lesions Study, sponsored by Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB, is a single-center, single-arm, prospective clinical trial evaluating the safety & feasibility of using the minimally invasive MR-guided laser therapy system to ablate tumors in up to 5 Glioblastoma patients.
