    Clinical Rationale Cervical Cancer Screening • Need for new technology • Evaluate the efficacy of quantitative optical spectroscopy • Compare the efficacy of our approach with that of the current standard of care in the US • HPV + Pap • Colposcopy + Biopsy LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan Miami UNIVERS

  4. Slide 4: Objective

    Objective Cervical Cancer Screening Pre­colposcopy triage techniques need high negative predictive values and specificity ØALTS Trial showed that current triage of colposcopy after referral for ASC­ US/HPV+ and LSIL patients would still miss between 30% to 40% of CIN3 disease ØALTS Trial­Only about

  5. Slide 5: Multimodal Spectroscopy

    Multimodal Spectroscopy Light In – Multiple wavelengths used Spectrometer to penetrate different tissue depths Results 1. Fluorescence Spectra ­ Reveal metabolic changes associated with neoplasia 2. Reflectance Spectra – Reveal morphological changes associated with neoplasia LuViva Advanced Cervical

  6. Slide 6: What do we measure?

    What do we measure? • Biochemistry: Fluorescence 300­500 nm excitation – NADH, FAD, Tryptophan – Collagen, Elastin – Porphyrin • Morphology: Reflectance 350­900 nm – Increase in Nuclear/Cytoplasmic ratio – Hyperchromasia – Loss of cellular differentiation – Angiogenesis LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan

    Cervical Spectroscopy Device Cervical Neoplasia Detection System (CNDS) • Measures fluorescence and reflectance spectra at multiple points on the cervix • Low cost device and single patient use disposable • Built in video colposcope – permits see and treat in the same visit and reimbursable in US us

  9. Slide 9: Benefits of Cervical Spectroscopy

    Benefits of Cervical Spectroscopy • Immediate results • Objective, more accurate test • Less discomfort • Saves Time – Exam time: 1­2 minute test – vs. 15­20 minute colposcopy – Less time chasing patients for return visits • Reduced cost to patient and healthcare system • Underserved populations LuV
