Nanospectra Biosciences is a medical device company pioneering the patient-centric use of nanomedicine for selective thermal ablation. The Company’s lead product platform, AuroLase, maximizes treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects associated with surgery, radiation, and traditional focal therapies. It is applicable to a broad range of solid tumor indications. The Company’s technology allows for the selective thermal ablation of solid tumors due to the preferential and passive accumulation of proprietary gold nanoshells in the leaky vasculature of neoplastic tissue. Targeted thermal ablation occurs when optical energy via a low power laser is brought into the immediate proximity of the tumor tissue and is transduced via the optical properties of the gold nanoshells into heat sufficient to kill the cancer cells. The laser energy is sub-ablative in the absence of the nanoshells thus sparing healthy tissue. The inert nanoshells consist of a gold metal shell and a non-conducting silica core and serve as the exogenous absorber of the near infrared laser energy delivered by an optical fiber diffuser. Enrollment and treatment procedures in a 45-patient feasibility study is complete and a 60-patient pivotal study under common FDA IDE approval began in January 2020. The addressable population consists of men with localized disease confirmed as targetable by MRI fusion in men with low/intermediate risk prostate cancer and the therapeutic premise is effective oncologic control with little to no co-morbidities and therefore stable functional outcomes.
