ProVerum raises €30m in funding
Dublin medtech company, ProVerum, has raised €30 million to support its clinical programme as it enters the European and US markets with its innovative ProVee device. ProVerum, which was founded by Ríona Ní Ghriallais and Conor Harkin from Trinity College Dublin, developed a novel treatment solution for patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This is a common condition affecting the prostate which causes difficulty urinating and potentially kidney problems too. The company has come up with a treatment procedure that can be safely performed in a doctor’s office setting under local anaesthetic and which alleviates the symptoms of BPH. ProVerum recently received approval from the US Food and Drink Administration (FDA) to commence a pivotal trial there. This came after the company’s first successful in-human study at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, which demonstrated immediate and lasting improvements in symptoms and no device-related serious adverse events in subjects over the following two years.
