Biotech company Sensorion announced on Tuesday that it will collaborate with French medical device manufacturer Eveon to design a system for injecting Sensorion's products into the inner ear.

As part of the agreement, the two partners will evaluate ways to optimize the potential delivery of gene therapy products for enhanced efficacy and flexibility in the patient.

Sensorion explains that therapies developed for the treatment of genetically-induced deafness are generally difficult to implement, as they have to be administered into the cochlea, a delicate organ embedded in the temporal bone.

For the record, Sensorion is currently developing gene therapy product candidates aimed at restoring hearing in patients suffering from hereditary monogenic forms of deafness.

Following this announcement, Sensorio shares gained 1.5% on Tuesday on the Paris Stock Exchange, after climbing more than 6% in the course of the morning.
