Carthera, a French clinical-stage medtech company focused on developing innovative ultrasound-based medical devices to treat a wide range of severe brain disorders, is looking for a Clinical Trial Assistant.

Carthera has developed the SonoCloud®, a revolutionary medical device that emits ultrasound to temporarily increase the permeability of blood vessels in the brain. SonoCloud® is an intracranial implant that opens the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prior to injection of therapeutic agents such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy. A few minutes of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPU) is sufficient to open the BBB for several hours, thus increasing the concentration of therapeutic molecules in the brain, and potentially their effectiveness.

Oncology indications (glioblastoma, brain metastases) are the company’s main target, and research is also underway for other conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease.

Carthera is looking for an assistant to support the clinical department team in the conduct of ongoing and future clinical investigations.
