Galvanize Therapeutics wins FDA nod for pulsed electric field generator for surgical ablation

Galvanize Therapeutics announced today that it received FDA clearance for its Aliya EX generator for the surgical ablation of soft tissue.

Aliya EX expands the Redwood City, California-based company’s Aliya EX generator expands the Aliya pulsed electric field (PEF) portfolio to enable the treatment of a broader range of lesion sizes. Compared to the previous-generation system, the new generator produces up to double the ablation diameter, the company says. This results in as much as a sevenfold increase in ablation volume while maintaining the core attributes of Aliya PEF therapy.

Galvanizes’ novel PEF platform, a non-pharmacologic intervention, uses non-thermal, short-duration, highly focused electrical pulses. It destabilizes cellular pathologic processes in the hopes of changing the disease trajectory in areas like oncology and chronic lung disease.
