Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB (CLS) develops and markets therapies, systems, and single-use instruments for gentle and safe thermal treatment of solid cancer tumors. The TRANBERG®|Thermal Therapy System, as well as disposable materials and methods, for heat-induced immunotherapy enables safe and gentle treatment of cancerous tumors. The products are marketed for image guided laser ablation and for CLS’ own immunostimulating therapy, imILT®.
Today, our products (i.e. The TRANBERG®|Thermal Therapy System and disposable materials) are commercially available and routinely used in focal therapy of localized prostate cancer. Treatment of tumors and other lesions in the brain as well as abscopal treatment of metastasized cancer comes next. Our targeted customers are hospitals involved in multidisciplinary cancer treatment.
The use of imILT is currently restricted to clinical investigations only and the clinical effects when applying the imILT protocol are being investigated. Our clinical studies are carried out in cooperation with European KOLs and include cancer in breast, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, and skin.
For patients, imILT could provide extensive medical benefits since the treatment is expected to produce lasting immunity (comparable to vaccination) against the treated form of cancer. In addition, the number of side effects associated with traditional therapy such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be reduced if some of these procedures are replaced by imILT. In summary, imILT entails decreased cancer-related suffering and socioeconomic savings through more effective therapy, with lower expenses for both inpatient care and outpatient follow-up care.
Targeted user groups include medical specialists in surgical oncology and oncologic interventional radiology. Letters of intent are signed with four hospitals with the objective to make these reference centers in Europe for imILT. They will play a key role in market expansion and to facilitate adoption of imILT into routine clinical use.
The Company is headquartered at Medicon Village in Lund, Sweden, with subsidiaries in Berlin, Germany, in Boston, USA and in Singapore. Today, there are 19 employees (Lund 11). CLS is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.
