Vergent Bioscience

Vergent Bioscience is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is helping surgeons realize the full potential of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery by improving the visibility of tumors. Vergents lead investigational compound, abenacianine for injection (VGT-309), is a tumor-targeted fluorescent imaging agent intentionally designed to enable surgeons to see previously undetected or difficult-to-find tumors during surgery in real-time, ensuring all tumor tissue is removed. We are first evaluating abenacianine for injection in lung cancer, with the potential to expand its application to a wide range of solid tumors. Our approach directly addresses the clinical need and market opportunity for advanced visualization in open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgical procedures. * Abenacianine for injection is an investigational product and has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any indication
