Clinical trials
In our ongoing efforts to improve patient care, Mauna Kea Technologies is working closely with exceptional practitioners at leading sites around the world to conduct clinical trials that will lead to new and improved diagnostic procedures with the Cellvizio® system.
Since 2005, over 20 Cellvizio studies have been initiated in a wide range of applications in the GI tract and in the respiratory system, as well as other fields where confocal laser endomicroscopy may have an increasing impact.
The following map depicts the locations of all ongoing company-sponsored Cellvizio clinical trials, including case series and feasibility studies, pilot trials and multicentric randomized controlled trials.
