GT Medical Technologies Secures $53 Million to Advance Brain Tumor Treatment
GT Medical Technologies, Inc., a pioneering medical device firm dedicated to innovative brain tumor treatments, announces the successful completion of its oversubscribed $53 million Series D equity financing. This funding round attracts significant support from both new and existing investors, including FemHealth Ventures and Warren Point Capital, which contribute an additional $16 million. Earlier this year, the company raised $37 million in the first phase of this financing round, led by Evidity Health Capital. With these funds, GT Medical Technologies aims to enhance its commercial activities and further its clinical research initiatives, particularly focusing on its flagship product, GammaTile.
GammaTile represents a significant advancement in radiation therapy, designed to be deployed during brain tumor removal surgeries. This innovative approach administers immediate, targeted radiation to the tumor site, which is intended to improve treatment efficacy while reducing the likelihood of cancer recurrence. CEO Per Langoe underscores the vital role this funding plays in improving patient outcomes, while Chief Financial & Strategy Officer James Leech notes that the backing from esteemed investors validates the company’s mission to enhance health care standards in oncology. The company has already documented that over 1,900 patients have undergone treatment with GammaTile, a testament to its increasing acceptance and potential within the oncology landscape.
The infusion of capital from this funding round will also facilitate the completion of enrollment in the ROADS randomized controlled trial, focusing on newly diagnosed brain metastases, alongside a separate trial for glioblastoma patients. This strategic move is expected to bolster GT Medical Technologies’ presence in the market and solidify its reputation as a leader in brain tumor treatment innovation. The participation of FemHealth Ventures particularly highlights a collective commitment to advancing health outcomes in oncology, especially concerning women's health issues, which aligns with the company’s broader goals.
In addition to its clinical advancements, GT Medical Technologies' recent funding success opens doors for potential collaborations and partnerships, which could further enhance its product development and market reach. As the company continues to grow and evolve, it remains focused on its mission to provide cutting-edge solutions for complex medical challenges, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving landscape of oncology care.
