The device is not yet approved and is entering its first registered study.","summary":"Eight Medical International BV is a Rotterdam medical device company that has developed the Eight Medical Hyperthermia System IV 1.0, which lavages the bladder with a heated therapeutic solution according to a clinician-set protocol. The company presents it as an option for selected patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot tolerate, or do not respond to, standard treatment; its website marks the device as unapproved, not for clinical use and not for sale. Its first registered cancer trial, NCT07758881, a prospective single-arm study of the safety and performance of the system for recirculating hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC) with mitomycin C in adults with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer at two Belgian sites, was posted on ClinicalTrials.gov in August 2026, with an estimated start in January 2027.","asOf":"2026-10-29","links":[{"label":"Official website","url":"https://www.eightmedical.com/"},{"label":"ClinicalTrials.gov: HIVEC with mitomycin C using the Eight Medical system in NMIBC (NCT07758881)","url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07758881"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["non-muscle-invasive-bladder-cancer","urothelial"],"sections":["devices","chemotherapy"],"technologies":["hyperthermia-systems","hyperthermia"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":["Founding year, ownership and financing are not stated on the company website.","The company website is a short single-page site; no press releases or regulatory filings were found to confirm more.
