Following the acquisition of Quirem Medical in July 2020, Terumo Europe is pleased to announce that the latest version of its Holmium-166 specific dosimetry software Q-SuiteTM has been fully launched today following gaining CE Mark. This latest version includes a treatment planning functionality. This additional functionality makes up The Holmium Platform, three fully integrated products (QuiremScout® microspheres, QuiremSpheres® microspheres and Q-SuiteTM software) delivering individualized SIRT at its full potential.
"The introduction of treatment planning within the Q-SuiteTM software is an essential piece of the puzzle that makes up The Holmium Platform" Laurent Domas, VP Global Interventional Oncology Strategy and Therapy Development at Terumo. "We now have the first fully integrated SIRT platform that combines the QuiremScout® work-up product the QuiremSpheres® treatment product and the Q-Suite™ software. This software enables improved patient selection and individualized treatment planning. We will now design a clinical program to further develop evidence to demonstrate the benefit of Holmium SIRT."
"With this additional treatment planning functionality, alongside the benefits Holmium-166 SIRT can bring to patients, we have been able to further optimize how we plan our treatments." Prof. Dr. M. Lam, Head of Nuclear medicine at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) said, "Now that we have the full Holmium Platform we believe that we can continue to optimize SIRT and through the clinical programs that are being setup, we believe we can really help to reinforce where SIRT can make a difference for liver cancer patients."
