The Orlucent System from Orlucent is a handheld fluorescent molecular imaging system that assesses the likelihood of a mole's transition to melanoma; the company states it is in clinical trials and for research use only in the United States. Its imaging agent ORL1 is the subject of NCI SBIR grant 1R44CA306680-01A1, which funds manufacturing controls to current Good Manufacturing Practice and reports, from preliminary studies, 100 per cent sensitivity and 95.7 per cent specificity in distinguishing melanomas from non-melanomas.
A fluorescent imaging agent, ORL1, is applied to a skin lesion and a handheld imager reads its signal to assess molecular changes linked to melanoma, as described by the company and its NCI award.
