Benefits of Calevia’s photothermal therapy
- Molecular targeting and local near-infrared (NIR) light activation provide precise treatment to affected cancer area.
- Molecular targeting and NIR can reach deeply seated tumor, odd-shape masses and microscopic spreads in the treated area.
- Highly selective and targeted treatment causes minimal impact on adjacent tissues and structures, reducing side-effects and treatment complications.
- Conjugated antibody provides active transport and accumulation of bio-conjugate in tumor, with unbound fraction cleared from the blood pool.
- Stable retention of payload in tumor provides large NIR activation window.
- Thermal therapy does not slow down or impede other planned treatments, either before or after the procedure.
- Non-invasive thermal therapy requires modest clinical setup and is performed on an outpatient basis.
- Procedure has no, or minimal, esthetic impact, improving the patient’s quality of life following treatment.
