PMA for Ablatherm®-HIFU for treatment of low risk, localized prostate cancer accepted by the FDA for filing on March 26, 2013
LYON, France, April 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq:EDAP), the global leader in therapeutic ultrasound, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, and provided an update on recent strategic developments.
Marc Oczachowski, EDAP's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our record revenues in the fourth quarter, and for the full year 2012. Our sales growth can be attributed to the robust sales of our innovative Sonolith lithotripters around the globe. Customers continue to respond to our innovative products and improving offerings. We continue to aggressively pursue market penetration, and strengthen our sales operations across key markets, including Europe, Asia, and the U.S."
Mr. Oczachowski continued, "Our PMA application for Ablatherm-HIFU is steadily moving forward through the U.S. FDA review process. Last week we received notification that our PMA had been accepted for Filing Review, less than two months after we submitted the complete application to the FDA. With this significant milestone completed, we have now entered the substantive review phase, and we are looking forward to a continuing dialog with the agency as the review process advances."
Recent Developments
In March 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided a positive Filing Review Notification for the EDAP's Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application for its Ablatherm Integrated Imaging HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device for treatment of low risk, localized prostate cancer. The PMA was received by the FDA on February 5, 2013, and was given a filing date of February 28, 2013. The PMA submission included data from the Company's ENLIGHT study, a multi-center U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial that completed the two year follow-up needed to evaluate its primary endpoint in August 2012, as well as data from the Company's extensive worldwide database of treatment information and follow-up data from patients who have undergone HIFU therapy for prostate cancer.
In March 2013, EDAP introduced Focal.One®, the Company's new robotic HIFU device for focal therapy of prostate cancer at the European Association of Urology Annual Congress in Milan, Italy. Focal.One is the first device fully dedicated to the focal approach for prostate cancer therapy. It combines three essential components to efficiently perform a focal treatment: (i) state-of-the-art imaging to localize tumors with the use of magnetic resonance imaging combined with real-time ultrasound, (ii) utmost precision of HIFU treatment focused on identified targeted cancer areas only and (iii) immediate feedback on treatment efficacy utilizing Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging.
In February 2013, the Journal of Urology, the Official Journal of the American Urological Association published results from a study in Munich on 704 patients over fifteen years. The study demonstrated high rates of both cancer-specific survival, and freedom from salvage therapy for patients treated with HIFU therapy. Investigators concluded that the 15 year outcome data may warrant closing of investigational phase for HIFU.
In January 2013, the British Journal of Urology, International, published a landmark study of over 538 patients demonstrating the safety and long-term efficacy of EDAP's Ablatherm-HIFU for the treatment of localized prostate cancer with ten year biochemical outcomes and follow-up extending to fourteen years. Data from this long-term year retrospective study, the longest study of HIFU patients to date published, confirmed benefits of the treatment.
