Projectdetails

Introduction

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the EU, with 2.7M diagnoses and 1.3M deaths in 2020. Effective removal of cancerous tissue through endoscopic surgery is challenging because of limited visual and absent tactile information.

Challenges in Current Imaging Technologies

The limitations of current imaging technologies make it difficult for surgeons to differentiate between different types of tissue. This poses significant challenges in ensuring the complete removal of cancerous tissue during surgical procedures.

Thericon's Solution

For this market, Thericon is developing an rMSI (real-time multispectral imaging) platform. This platform provides surgeons with multi-parametric images that help with:

  • Effective removal of cancerous tissue
  • Reduction of cancer recurrence in patients

Product Development

The company has developed a prototype for its first product, named rMSI 2, and has completed initial validation for bladder cancer applications.

Funding Request

Thericon is asking for:

  1. A 2.5M EIC grant
  2. 5.5M equity funding

This funding will be used to complete clinical application pilots, safety tests, and CE certification for this product, getting it ready for market launch in 2024.
