Photocure announced results for Q217 with 10% growth for the Hexvix/Cysview franchise compared to Q216. The US was a major driver, up 55% to NOK10.9m, though partner sales fell by 9% to NOK15m due to lost reimbursement in France. The company also announced that the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule that would create a new set of codes to cover Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC) with Hexvix/Cysview. These new codes should help improve the penetration of the product into the US market.
