The regulatory landscape around COAs is fast evolving.
This leads to substantial damage to healthy tissues and too often results in poor outcomes. This will hopefully lead to an FDA approval for its first indication, after which Alpha TAU plans on expanding to other types of cancer and geographic regions such as Europe and Japan. Results from initial clinical trials were quite impressive.
The primary safety endpoint is a performance goal for device and procedure related adverse events at 30 days.
