Nanovista Inc.

Nanovista is developing novel imaging agents for surgical oncology with the lead product, CF800, enabling cancer surgeons to visualize tumors in real time during surgery. Even the most skilled surgeons capture as little as 30-60% of the tumor margins in challenging disease areas. Nanovista's CF800 liposomal imaging agent accumulates specifically at tumor margins and is ideally suited to visualize all solid tumors. CF800 works with existing operating room near-infrared imaging equipment and illuminates tumors both at the surgery planning phase and inside the operating room, with the potential to significantly improve cancer surgery outcomes. The company is raising capital for Phase I development of CF800 in lung cancer and head and neck cancer.
