-The Company’s lead platform—the WavSTAT® Optical Biopsy System—is in the final stages of a multicenter, 1,200-patient European study and is poised to commence sales in Europe and potentially Saudi Arabia in 2016 and new markets in China and India during 2017.The Wavstat4 is currently already used in some hospitals in Germany,Spain and other European Union countries. The current WavSTAT4 product is initially targeted to the colorectal cancer screening market where recent colonoscopy guidelines have created opportunities for new, improved diagnostic technologies.
-Up to 80% of colorectal biopsies performed are estimated to be identified as normal, non-cancerous tissue. Replacing these invasive physical biopsies with an optical biopsy, as SpectraScience's WavSTAT4 does, reduces risks to patients and may lead to a healthcare cost savings of over $1 billion in the U.S. alone.Currently waiting FDA approval for the USA.
-WavSTAT4 has been designed for ease of integration into the current standard of care. It entails essentially the same process as how physicians screen for cancer today, and is compatible with existing endoscopes. SpectraScience merely adds a layer of diagnostic interpretation and confidence by notifying physicians that, at a particular tissue location, they do not need to take a physical biopsy that they otherwise might have performed.
-Tissue that WavSTAT4 finds to be precancerous or cancerous returns a red “suspect” icon. Unlike the traditional method of visual inspection, there is no ambiguity to the result and no need for physician interpretation.
SpectraScience is further evaluating the potential of its technology in an array of additional indications and using a combination of next-generation, light-based technologies. Clinical results have suggested potential for WavSTAT4 in bladder cancer as well as in other oncology areas. SpectraScience in particular views the esophageal screening market as an opportunity, as endoscopes are the typical diagnostic tool of choice for both colorectal and esophageal screening.
-SpectraScience’s patent portfolio in the field of optical methods to detect cancer, cancer precursors, and tissue abnormalities includes 34 U.S. utility patents, seven U.S. design patents, 25 foreign counterpart patents, and an exclusive license to the Massachusetts General Hospital’s optical forceps patent.
-SpectraScience Inc has signed a distribution agreement with Advanced Medical German Co. (AMG) in Kuwait to be its exclusive distributor in the Middle East in july 2016
