April 2024

Science Corporation, a provider of brain-computer interface technology, has announced that it has acquired from French bioelectronics company Pixium Vision the intellectual property and related assets for the Prima retinal implant.

The deal's financial details remained undisclosed.

The Prima system is specifically engineered to augment Science Corporation's Science Eye product, which addresses dry age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa-induced blindness, in cases of severe vision loss resulting from retinal degeneration. At present in development, Science Eye integrates an implanted micro-LED display panel with optogenetic gene therapy.

In light of Pixium's insolvency, the Paris Commercial Court has granted approval for the acquisition. The Prima system consists of a portable computer, specialized spectacles, and a wireless, subretinal implant that is miniaturized.

Science Corporation's CEO and co-founder Max Hodak stated in a blog post: "The Prima retinal implant, which was created by Pixium and is grounded in research conducted at Stanford University, exhibits considerable potential.

"The results of the preliminary clinical trials are impressive. In conjunction with the research being conducted at Science on the Science Eye, we presently possess two exceptional prospects to advance BCI technology, which may enable the restoration of vision in specific patients afflicted with severe visual impairment.

Pixium is presently engaged in three clinical trials: the PRIMAvera pivotal study in Europe, two feasibility trials in France and the United States.

It is anticipated that the incorporation of PRIMA's technology into the portfolio of Science Corporation will expedite prospects for vision restoration.

"At this time, science is developing innovative, cutting-edge products through the utilization of two very distinct modalities," Hodak continued. "This transaction substantially broadens our portfolio of intellectual property. Although the potential of the PRIMA implant was a major factor in our decision to acquire it, we also felt obligated to provide updates to the patients who were enrolled in the Pixium clinical trials."

Optogenetics Market Trends

Drivers

The field of optogenetics is pushed to the rise of a new era that has potent and targeted control over a huge number of aspects of neural functioning. Both the optical methods and genetics, when applied together allow to have a tight spatial and temporal control of the various activities of different kinds that are conducted by the neurons, as part of the brain. This field is being understood as a revolutionary advancement and will help in achieving an excellent level of understanding and further, helping in providing a millisecond-scale temporal precision that allows the experimenter. This helps in keeping pace with the process related to extracting fast biological information.

Restraints

The optogenetics applications in small animals are yielding new insights in the fields of basic neuroscience and diseases of the nervous systems. These have utmost importance as they can translate the newest technological for nonhuman primates and human tissues.
