From Joe Burnett, President & CEO:
On the heels of reporting our Second Quarter results, I am delighted to share with our customers and partners some key highlights:
- ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System: We continue to expand our limited market release to new centers in the U.S., and are receiving very positive feedback with each procedure. Preliminary data from the ongoing prospective trial in Sweden will be presented from the podium at ESSFN this fall in Stockholm. If you're interested in seeing the Prism system, please stop by our booth at the CNS Tumor Symposium, or the CNS Annual Meeting in September.
- Biologics and Drug Delivery: This segment of our business has become our fastest growing with 50+ partners to date. Our team is excited to support ongoing and new pre-clinical and clinical trials in the coming months. Just this week, our partner Aspen Neuroscience announced FDA clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application, enabling the company to proceed with a clinical trial for ANPD001, a personalized (autologous) cell therapy to treat Parkinson’s Disease by replacing lost dopamine neurons.
- Innovation Pipeline: Our R&D teams have been hard at work expanding our current portfolio in partnership with our physician and pharma customers. In the second half of 2023 we plan to execute as many as five FDA submissions directly, or through partnerships, for new products that we believe will help improve outcomes, reduce procedure times and lower the cost of delivering care.
- New Manufacturing Facility: I'm happy to report that we have completed construction on the clean room at our new ~20,000 square foot facility in Carlsbad, California, ahead of schedule. We believe we will be able to manufacture products there in the coming months, and plan to wind down our operations in Irvine by the end of 2023.
Thank you for being part of our ClearPoint mission to improve and restore quality of life to patients and their families by enabling therapies for the most complex neurological disorders. As always, feel free to reach out directly to me with any questions.
