ClearPoint Neuro Enters into 10-year Targeted Ultrasound Improvement Partnership with Sungkyunkwan Un


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 programs, 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 worldwide gadget, cell, and gene therapy-enabling firm providing exact navigation to the mind and backbone, right now 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 gadget was inbuilt partnership with the SONOCARELAB, at Sungkyunkwan College in Suwon, South Korea on the Pure Science Campus.

“This milestone has been almost 4 years within the making, and demonstrates our steady pursuit to be probably the most full neuro navigation and remedy enabling firm on the earth”, commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO of the Firm. “Targeted Ultrasound has super potential, and has been studied throughout many functions together with drug supply, tissue ablation, liquid biopsy and even standalone remedies for neurological issues 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 imagine the ClearPoint and SONOCARELAB resolution will match completely into our four-pillar progress technique.”

“Our purpose is to supply probably the most full portfolio potential to our biopharma companions to allow profitable, focused drug supply to the mind”, commented Jeremy Stigall, Chief Enterprise Officer & Common Supervisor of Biologics and Drug Supply at ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. “Targeted ultrasound can be a device, and never the device, in our drug supply ecosystem, and can 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 units for transplantation in cell remedy sufferers. Nonetheless others will use our IRRAcirculate portfolio of versatile, indwelling units for a number of, high-volume infusions to the ventricles. Targeted Ultrasound can be one more method within the ClearPoint Neuro ecosystem that’s properly fitted 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 group won’t solely have direct expertise but in addition actively play a job within the growth of all these options. Our purpose is to work with our companions of their finest curiosity and letting the science select the simplest supply methodology for every particular drug.”

“Our purpose-built Targeted Ultrasound prototype for drug supply is designed to quickly scale websites globally by 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 all over the world. 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 workers coaching on the hospital. By studying one ClearPoint software program and workflow, the hospital group will be capable of navigate within the MRI, the CT, with Robotics and with Targeted Ultrasound, all on the identical platform. Lastly, the self-contained system can be designed to allow quick, cheap set up into any working room suite with out sophisticated development 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 massive preclinical topics”, commented Professor Jinhyoung Park at Sungkyunkwan College. “We imagine ClearPoint’s sturdy experience in translational neuroscience, navigation software program, and robotic steerage programs makes them an distinctive companion for advancing next-generation targeted ultrasound therapies towards future medical functions.”

“Our group continues to execute towards our strategic plan of changing into the premier neuro navigation and remedy enabling firm on the earth”, continued Mr. Burnett. “Quick ahead into the long run and our world ecosystem is on monitor to be fairly spectacular. It will embrace 1) pre-commercial drug discovery companies together with customized gadget 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 remedies, 5) lively CSF trade to deal with varied forms of hemorrhage within the mind, 6) a number of industrial 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 higher make sure the profitable launch of those new-to-world cell and gene therapies. All of those product traces are supported by our increasing world infrastructure, and our group of professional medical specialists who’re best-in-class. Congratulations to the group on this unbelievable milestone that has been almost 4 years within the making.”
