EDAP TMS SA (NASDAQ: EDAP) is a global leader in therapeutic ultrasound with over 30 years of experience. The company develops, manufactures, promotes, and distributes minimally-invasive medical devices for urology using advanced ultrasound technology. With a robust presence worldwide through a network of corporate offices, subsidiaries, and distribution partners, EDAP TMS is committed to innovation and excellence.
EDAP TMS operates through three main divisions:
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): This division focuses on the development and marketing of devices for the non-invasive destruction of tumors. Key products include Ablatherm, Ablatherm Fusion, and the Focal One, which is the latest addition designed for ideal focal therapy of localized prostate cancer.
- ESWL (Extracorporeal ShockWave Lithotripsy): This division manufactures and services the Sonolith range of lithotripters, which are used for the treatment of kidney stones.
- Distribution: This division markets complementary products such as lasers, micro-ultrasound systems, and other medical devices from third-party suppliers.
EDAP TMS is known for its strong patent portfolio thanks to continuous investment in research and development. The company collaborates with globally acclaimed medical research institutions to push the boundaries of medical technology. Financially, EDAP TMS reported a gross profit of EUR 24.4 million (USD 26.4 million) for the year ending December 31, 2023, reflecting a slight increase from the previous year. However, the gross profit margin declined due to inflationary pressures and investments in U.S. operations to support long-term revenue growth.
Recent achievements include the launch of the Focal One and strategic partnerships to expand its product reach. The company’s commitment to innovation and patient care makes it a significant player in the medical device industry.
EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP) has announced the initiation of a Phase I/II study evaluating its Focal One® robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The first patients have been treated in this study, which aims to explore a less invasive treatment option for BPH.
The study is designed in two parts: Part 1 will define optimal treatment parameters at two leading academic centers in France, while Part 2 will validate safety and efficacy across multiple centers. Dr. Harry Toledano, Head of Urology at Martigues Hospital, expressed enthusiasm about the potential of HIFU to improve BPH symptoms with minimal side effects.
EDAP's CEO, Ryan Rhodes, highlighted the significant need for less invasive BPH treatments and sees this as a logical expansion of their technology beyond prostate cancer applications. The company plans to initiate a BPH clinical study in the United States next year based on this foundational research.
EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP) and Avenda Health have launched the world's first AI-assisted Focal One® Robotic HIFU procedures for prostate cancer treatment. The collaboration integrates Avenda's FDA-cleared Unfold AI® technology with EDAP's Focal One robotic HIFU platform. Unfold AI creates 3D patient-specific cancer maps, enabling more precise tumor targeting and healthy tissue preservation.
The first AI-assisted procedures were successfully performed at UCLA School of Medicine. This integration aims to provide more tailored, patient-specific HIFU ablation for prostate cancer patients. The companies will present simulated procedures at the 2024 Joint Meeting of the Focal Therapy Society & Society of Urologic Robotic Surgeons in Washington, DC.
