NX Development Corp. Resumes U.S. Distribution of Gleolan® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) for Fluorescence-Guided Neurosurgery

NX Development Corp (“NXDC”) is pleased to announce that it is once again distributing Gleolan® (aminolevulinic acid HCl) in the United States, supporting neurosurgeons in fluorescence-guided surgery for patients with high-grade glioma.

Gleolan is an optical imaging agent indicated in patients with glioma (suspected World Health Organization Grades III or IV on preoperative imaging) as an adjunct for the visualization of malignant tissue during surgery. Administered orally two to four hours before resection, Gleolan causes tumor cells to fluoresce under a blue-light-enabled surgical microscope, helping distinguish malignant from normal tissue in real time.

Today, more than 400 hospitals nationwide use Gleolan, and that number continues to grow as more institutions adopt fluorescence-guided technology. NXDC partners closely with hospitals and neurosurgeons to ensure smooth onboarding, training, and compliance with hospital pharmacy standards.

“Our focus is always on supporting clinicians who dedicate their work to patients living with gliomas,” said Salvatore DeSena, MD, Chief Executive Officer of NX Development Corp. “We’re proud to continue expanding the reach of Gleolan and the innovation it brings to surgical visualization.”

NXDC also collaborates with the neurosurgical community through training programs, professional conferences, and ongoing educational support. The company’s mission is to ensure that healthcare teams have the tools and knowledge they need to perform fluorescence-guided surgery safely and effectively.
