About the Phase 1 ACTIVATE trial
ACTIVATE is a multi-center, single arm, open-label Phase 1 trial to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-cancer activity of ACT treatment with the chemotherapy regimens FOLFOX or FOLFIRI in patients with liver metastases of colorectal origin. The trial is designed in the way that each patient serves as their own control, with primary assessment of anti-tumour activity consisting of within-patient comparison of radiographic responses between ACT-treated lesions (insonated plus chemotherapy) and control lesions (chemotherapy alone, non-insonated). Assessment was done at week 8 by blinded central review. The trial enrolled 11 hard-to-treat patients, hereof 9 evaluable, at sites in the United Kingdom. Additional information about the ACTIVATE trial is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04021277).

About Acoustic Cluster Therapy
Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT) consists of PS101 administered intravenously and insonated over a target tissue with ultrasound. PS101 is a formulation of microclusters of perfluorobutane microbubbles and perfluoromethylcyclopentane microdroplets. High frequency insonation causes PS101 to form larger ACT bubbles that are temporarily lodged in capillaries, followed by low frequency insonation, which induces oscillation of the lodged ACT bubbles, enhancing the delivery of the concurrently given chemotherapy to the target tissues.
