Profound Medical regains exclusive Canadian distribution rights for TULSA-PRO from Knight Therapeutics
Profound Medical Corp.
- One-time cash payment of CDN$90,000 (US$64,000) and 5% royalty on Canadian net sales for 15 years.
- Only one Canadian site (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre) currently offers the TULSA Procedure; >100 procedures performed there.
- Plans to use CAPTAIN trial results (comparing TULSA vs robotic prostatectomy) for provincial insurance coverage applications starting 2026.
- Regained rights allow Profound to deploy its own direct North American sales team; interim concierge service model for new Canadian sites.
- Knight's CEO notes strategic fit: Knight focuses on pharma, while Profound is better suited to commercialize this complex medical device.
