OncoRes Medical’s Post

🔬 International Clinical Trials Day   OncoRes Medical is marking International Clinical Trials Day today.   Quick fact > International Clinical Trials Day is celebrated globally on 20 May to commemorate when Scottish Surgeon James Lind commenced what is recognised as the first ever randomised clinical trial in scurvy in 1747, laying the foundations for modern clinical research.   277+ years later, clinical research remains an important part of the global economy and healthcare system. For our growing business, it is vital – we are developing technology (QME – Quantitative Micro-Elastography) to change the way surgeons perform cancer surgery, supercharging the surgeons’ sense of touch. We are starting in Breast Cancer, where up to a third of patients need two or more invasive surgeries to remove all of the cancer.   Our device is currently in clinical trials to test its merits in practice. So far, we have completed three clinical trials at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Western Australia; and a multisite trial has just commenced at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and The Royal Melbourne Hospital in Victoria, and Fiona Stanley Hospital and Fremantle Hospital in Western Australia.   These trials have supported development of our product and will support applications to the TGA and FDA. They have many moving parts – but the end goal is so worth it. Measured, ethical innovation, with the capacity to bring incredible, patient-first innovation to the operating table.   #clinicaltrials #oncology # medtech #innovation #breastcancer #breastconservation #breastconservationsurgery #lumpectomy #patientsfirst #patientoutcomes
