IBA announces contract with Moffitt Cancer Center for a Proteus®ONE
proton therapy solution in Florida, US
Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium, 10 January
2023 - IBA (Ion Beam Applications S.A., EURONEXT), the
world leader in particle accelerator technology, today announces
that it has received the downpayment for a contract signed at the
end of December 2022 with the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and
Research Institute Hospital (“Moffitt”) in Tampa, Florida, US, for
the installation of its Proteus®ONE1 compact proton therapy
system. As Florida’s only National Cancer Institute-designated
comprehensive cancer center, Moffitt previously announced this new
proton therapy treatment facility as part of its ongoing
expansion.
IBA’s Proteus®ONE, as the only user-centric
compact Imaged Guided Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy solution,
includes Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and an open gantry
solution with surface-guided proton therapy capabilities enabling
high-quality treatments with optimized patient throughput and
excellent user and patient experience. The contract with Moffitt
includes a 10-year operation and maintenance agreement, and it is
expected that patients will start being treated in 2026.
The typical end-user price for a Proteus®ONE
system with a 10-year maintenance contract ranges between 40-50
million US dollars. Revenue recognition on the contract started in
2022.
Olivier Legrain, Chief Executive Officer
of IBA, commented: “This new contract bolsters IBA’s
market-leading position in the US and globally, marking IBA’s ninth
Proteus®ONE in the region and 40th Proteus®ONE worldwide. As an
NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, Moffitt is renowned for
scientific excellence and innovative research, and we look forward
to working with them to deliver world-class cancer care to
patients. With another high-quality contract secured, an active
global pipeline and an all-time record order intake in 2022, IBA
has entered 2023 in a position of confidence.”
Patrick Hwu, Chief Executive Officer of
Moffitt Cancer Center, said: “Our sole mission at Moffitt
is to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer. Proton
therapy is a revolutionary and innovative tool to help us
accomplish this mission for our patients and their loved ones. As
the global market leader, IBA was the clear choice to partner with
us as we continue innovating with this exciting treatment.”
