PARIS & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Mauna Kea Technologies (Euronext Growth: ALMKT), inventor of Cellvizio ®, the multidisciplinary probe and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (p/nCLE) platform, today announced another milestone year at the Digestive Disease Week ® (DDW) Conference, being held from May 3-6, 2025 in San Diego, California with the presentation of at least 8 abstracts supporting the clinical value of Cellvizio ® in key indications. These abstracts focus on pancreatic cystic lesions and pancreatic cancer, food intolerance, artificial intelligence, and other gastrointestinal disorders. Studies and presentations highlight how the use of Cellvizio ® directly impacts patient management and positive outcomes.
Members of Mauna Kea's executive team will be present at DDW and meeting with physicians, industry partners, and societies, and welcome the opportunity to discuss the Company's recent achievements and future opportunities as announced in recent press releases.
"Each year, DDW is a not-to-be-missed meeting bringing the entire gastroenterology healthcare community together, and we are proud yet again to have such a wide range of independent scientific abstracts and data about Cellvizio on display, especially in areas which have significant unmet patient needs,' said Sacha Loiseau, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mauna Kea Technologies. 'Cellvizio's role in the accurate classification and risk stratification of pancreatic cysts is advancing the entire field forward for the management of patients at risk of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, the body of evidence for food intolerance identification and management has grown substantially, building a large opportunity for CellTolerance ® growth.'
