According to Patrick Mayette, the Chief Executive Officer of Intrasense, “ the deployment of Myrian® XP-Lung as part of this clinical trial will enable us to vindicate our model for growth in the market for clinical trials. Our modular platform, which is already present on the market for monitoring cancer treatment, is also aimed at other medical areas such as pneumonology. The Myrian® platform is not only used by drug companies and CRO to approve new treatments, but also by producers of medical devices for the certification of their products.
