-- Laser zur Behandlung von PCV, RSC zugelassen

CLERMONT-FERRAND, Frankreich, 12. Sep. 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantel Medical gab heute seine Qualifikation für die CE-Kennzeichnung seiner photodynamischen Therapie(PDT)-Laserplattform Vitra™  zur Behandlung von Polypoidaler Choroidaler Vaskulopathie (PCV) und Retinopathia centralis serosa (RCS) bekannt. Quantel, der einzige Hersteller dieser Lasertechnologie, will in den Ländern, die eine CE-Registrierung verlangen, sofort mit der Kommerzialisierung der Laserplattform beginnen. 

PCV, eine Erkrankung der choroidalen Blutgefäße, betrifft sowohl Männer als auch Frauen verschiedener Abstammung und zeigt sich in der Ablösung des pigmentierten Epithels und in exsudativen Veränderungen, die oft zu subretinaler Fibrose führen können. Berichten zufolge kommt sie bei 20 % bis 50 % der asiatischen Patienten vor, bei denen Verdacht auf eine neovaskuläre altersbedingte Maculadegeneration (AMD) vorliegt, und bei 4 % bis 12 % aller weißen Patienten.1-6 Allerdings wird derzeit angenommen, dass das tatsächliche Auftreten der Krankheit nicht regelmäßig gemeldet wird, weshalb mit zusätzlichem Bedarf an Behandlungsmodalitäten gerechnet wird. Studien haben die ausgezeichnete kurzfristige Wirksamkeit von PDT bei der Behandlung von PCV belegt.7-10

RSC, auch bekannt als Chorioretinopathia centralis serosa (CCS), ist eine Augenerkrankungen, die häufig vorübergehende Sehbehinderungen verursacht, normalerweise in einem Auge.11-12 Wenn die Störung aktiv ist, zeigt sie sich in einem Austreten von Fluid unter der Retina, das dazu neigt, sich unter der Mitte des Gelben Flecks anzusammeln.

„Quantel ist derzeit der einzige Anbieter von Lasern, die zur Behandlung dieser zwei sehr schwerwiegenden Krankheiten zugelassen ist", kommentierte Jean-Marc Gendre, Geschäftsführer von Quantel Medical. „Dies ist ein günstiger Moment, da im Zuge neuer Erkenntnisse über die Häufigkeit der Krankheit mit einer gesteigerten Nachfrage nach PDT gerechnet wird. Wir sind sicher, dass unsere erstklassige Lasertechnologie Augenfachärzten eine hochwertige, kosteneffektive Lösung bietet, und freuen uns auf den Start der Kommerzialisierung in Europa und Asien. Die Produktentwicklung, die von Novartis, Basel, Schweiz unterstützt wird, bietet eine aktualisierte Lösung für PDT-Anwender heute und in der Zukunft."
