ClearPoint Neuro Enters into 10-year Targeted Ultrasound Growth Partnership with Sungkyunkwan College, South Korea, Additional Increasing Our Drug Supply Ecosystem and International Footprint


Announcement is made after profitable proof-of-concept trial in a preclinical mannequin of intravenous supply of enormous molecule tracers throughout the blood-brain barrier guided by prototype methods, together with each targeted ultrasound {hardware} and ClearPoint Navigation Software program and Robotics

SOLANA BEACH, CA / ACCESS Newswire / Might 27, 2026 / ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLPT) (“Firm”), a world system, cell, and gene therapy-enabling firm providing exact navigation to the mind and backbone, at the moment introduced plans to enter the targeted ultrasound market, and demonstrated profitable intravenous supply of tracers throughout the blood-brain barrier in a preclinical mannequin utilizing the ClearPoint prototype system. This system was inbuilt partnership with the SONOCARELAB, at Sungkyunkwan College in Suwon, South Korea on the Pure Science Campus.

“This milestone has been practically 4 years within the making, and demonstrates our steady pursuit to be essentially the most full neuro navigation and remedy enabling firm on the planet”, commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO of the Firm. “Targeted Ultrasound has large potential, and has been studied throughout many functions together with drug supply, tissue ablation, liquid biopsy and even standalone therapies for neurological problems like Alzheimer’s Illness. By leveraging our 15 years of neuro navigation software program growth, and by deploying targeted ultrasound utilizing our deliberate robotic platform in a conventional OR setting, we consider the ClearPoint and SONOCARELAB resolution will match completely into our four-pillar progress technique.”

“Our objective is to supply essentially the most full portfolio potential to our biopharma companions to allow profitable, focused drug supply to the mind”, commented Jeremy Stigall, Chief Enterprise Officer & Normal Supervisor of Biologics and Drug Supply at ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. “Targeted ultrasound will likely be a device, and never the device, in our drug supply ecosystem, and will likely be deployed alongside our different routes-of-administration based mostly on drug sort, goal, and indication. Some biopharma companions will proceed to make use of our SmartFlow cannula with an infusion pump for convection enhanced gene remedy. Others will use our customized front-loading mechanized supply cannulas and pullback gadgets for transplantation in cell remedy sufferers. Nonetheless others will use our IRRAstream portfolio of versatile, indwelling gadgets for a number of, high-volume infusions to the ventricles. Targeted Ultrasound will likely be yet one more method within the ClearPoint Neuro ecosystem that’s effectively suited to extra complete drug dosing to widespread areas of the mind. We’ll uniquely present all of those choices to biopharma companions, alongside the power to find the right, drug particular method at our ClearPoint Superior Laboratories facility. Our translational science staff won’t solely have direct expertise but additionally actively play a job within the growth of all these options. Our objective is to work with our companions of their finest curiosity and letting the science select the best supply methodology for every particular drug.”

“Our purpose-built Targeted Ultrasound prototype for drug supply is designed to quickly scale websites globally by means of just a few key mechanisms”, continued Mr. Stigall. “First, the system is designed for use outdoors of the MRI and within the working room, rising entry to extra websites world wide. Second, compatibility with the ClearPoint navigation software program and prototype robotic arm will allow constant and acquainted procedural planning throughout many alternative targets and indications, simplifying employees coaching on the hospital. By studying one ClearPoint software program and workflow, the hospital staff will have the ability to navigate within the MRI, the CT, with Robotics and with Targeted Ultrasound, all on the identical platform. Lastly, the self-contained system will likely be designed to allow quick, cheap set up into any working room suite with out difficult building or shielding. Our companions have requested for added, scalable routes-of-administration for biologics and medicines to the mind, and we’re working tirelessly to ship.”

“Our collaboration with ClearPoint Neuro has demonstrated the profitable integration of superior therapeutic ultrasound applied sciences with image-guided robotic neurointervention platforms in giant preclinical topics”, commented Professor Jinhyoung Park at Sungkyunkwan College. “We consider ClearPoint’s robust experience in translational neuroscience, navigation software program, and robotic steerage methods makes them an distinctive accomplice for advancing next-generation targeted ultrasound therapies towards future medical functions.”

“Our staff continues to execute towards our strategic plan of changing into the premier neuro navigation and remedy enabling firm on the planet”, continued Mr. Burnett. “Quick ahead into the longer term and our world ecosystem is on observe to be fairly spectacular. This may embrace 1) pre-commercial drug discovery companies together with customized system and software program creation for biopharma, 2) navigation software program that may be deployed within the MRI, CT or with our robotics, 3) MRI and working room drill options for extra environment friendly and constant mind entry, 4) laser and targeted ultrasound ablative therapies, 5) energetic CSF trade to deal with numerous sorts of hemorrhage within the mind, 6) a number of business routes-of-administration for focused drug supply utilizing cannulas, needles, catheters and now targeted ultrasound, and seven) distinctive modeling and affirmation software program to make sure the standard of supply is deliberate and quantified to raised make sure the profitable launch of those new-to-world cell and gene therapies. All of those product strains are supported by our increasing world infrastructure, and our staff of skilled medical specialists who’re best-in-class. Congratulations to the staff on this unbelievable milestone that has been practically 4 years within the making.”
