SurgiMab and Quest Medical Imaging announce Collaboration Agreement for phase III Clinical Trial
SurgiMab and Quest Medical Imaging enter a Collaboration Agreement for the 1st Phase III multicenter clinical trial on Fluorescence Guided Surgery for Digestive Cancers.
Montpellier, France and MidĀdenĀmeer, Holland -- SurgiMab and Quest Medical Imaging, a leader in the market for multispectral cameras, announced today that they have entered into a collaboration agreement for the upcoming Phase III clinical trial of Surgimab’s SGM-101 in fluorescent guided colorectal cancer surgery.
Under the terms of the agreement, Quest Medical Imaging has received an undisclosed lump sum payment to provide 12 Spectrum™ platforms to the centers that will participate in the Phase III pivotal trial sponsored by SurgiMab. The Quest Spectrum™ Fluorescence Imaging Platform is designed and developed for open and minimally invasive fluorescence image-guided surgery with the capability for multiple wavelengths in a single system. It demonstrated high sensitivity and ease of use in a previous phase I/II clinical trial in conjunction with SGM-101. The preliminary results of this trial have been presented by the clinical teams at the World Molecular Imaging Congress that took place in Philadelphia in September.
Françoise Cailler, CEO of SurgiMab, said “We are looking forward to working with Quest for the pivotal trial of our lead compound SGM-101 Indeed, SGM-101’s cancer targeting properties give it the potential to facilitate the detection and visualization of malignant tissue when used during image guided surgery. Our hope is that this real-time visualization of tumor tissue by surgeons will lead to higher rates of total resection and therefore significant benefits to patients. The use of a CE-marked / FDA approved device shall simplify the regulatory requirements and we are confident that the quality of the data that we will generate will help us accelerate the development of SGM-101 and ensure a quick access to the market..”
