MedCuration's Remarkable Crowdfunding Journey

MedCuration Inc., a pioneering medical venture based in Shizuoka Prefecture, has recently concluded a highly successful crowdfunding campaign aimed at securing insurance coverage for its groundbreaking catheter-based treatment for cervical, bladder, and rectal cancers, known as NIPP (Non-Uniform Pelvic Perfusion Therapy under Closed Circulation). The campaign, initiated on May 14, 2025, through CAMPFIRE, tenaciously engaged supporters for a period of 80 days. On the final day, August 1, they announced an astounding total of 14,635,500 yen raised from 1,129 enthusiastic backers, surpassing their initial goal of 5 million yen by an impressive 292%.

The funds amassed will be allocated to several critical areas, including foundational research, patent application and acquisition costs, clinical trial preparation, and operational expenses of the company. This financial support is geared towards concluding the preliminary research by the latter half of 2025, with an eye to begin physician-led clinical trial preparations in 2026.
