New patient treatment, phase 2 initiated

A patient was treated on Tuesday April 9th, 2019, in SpectraCure's clinical trial for the treatment of patients with recurrent prostate cancer, at University College London Hospital.

"It is gratifying that we are now officially entering the Phase 2 study together with our clinical partners," comments Masoud Khayyami, CEO.

The purpose of the Phase 2 study is to, with a larger statistical basis than in the Phase 1 study, show that the method is safe to use and that it has clinical effect.
