NovoCure (NVCR) said Thursday that the US Food and Drug Administration approved its new Head Flexible Electrode transducer arrays for use with Optune Gio, a wearable device for treating glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer in adults.
The company said the redesigned arrays, made with flexible polymer materials, are thinner and lighter than previous models.
Novocure said it plans to transition US users to the upgraded arrays through the first half of 2025.
