Architectural renderings of the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery platform at Kaohsiung Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. Leveraging a first-in-kind vault-free design, KSCH looks to showcase ZAP-X as a signature service for the hospital's new neuro-oncology program.
KSCH, a newly opened medical facility, is the latest addition to the Show Chwan Healthcare System, one of Taiwan's leading medical networks. With the introduction of ZAP-X, KSCH aims to further elevate its existing Neuro-Oncology practice, offering advanced, non-invasive treatment options for patients with primary and metastatic brain tumors, as well as other neurological disorders.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a completely non-invasive and painless procedure that has emerged as a game-changer in the treatment of brain tumors and other disorders of the brain, head, and neck. Unlike conventional open surgery, SRS requires no incision, and treatments typically require just a single brief outpatient visit. It is not uncommon for patients to return to normal activities the same day as treatment.
'SRS is revolutionizing the way we treat brain tumors and neurological conditions,' said Dr. Min-Ho Huang, President of Show Chwan Healthcare System. 'With the addition of ZAP-X at KSCH, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing world-class, non-invasive treatment solutions to patients in Taiwan and beyond.'
The adoption of ZAP-X at KSCH represents a significant step forward in Taiwan's neuro-oncology landscape. The system eliminates the need for costly shielded radiation treatment rooms, making advanced radiosurgery more accessible. Additionally, unlike historical systems that rely on Cobalt-60 radioactive sources, ZAP-X utilizes a modern linear accelerator for radiation generation, reducing the logistical and financial burdens of handling and regularly replacing radioactive isotopes.
The ZAP-X system is distinguished by its unique gyroscopic maneuverability, enabling the delivery of radiosurgical beams from thousands of potential angles to precisely target tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to critical structures such as the brain stem, eyes, and optic nerves. This innovative approach also enhances patient safety and preserves cognitive function by reducing radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue.
Show Chwan Healthcare System has historically treated SRS patients with Cobalt-60-based delivery technology. The addition of ZAP-X provides a next-generation alternative that aims to enhance treatment versatility and precision.

Nachtigall, MD; Laurence Katznelson, MD; Scott Struthers, PhD Date/Time: July 14, 12:30 PM -1:30 PM Location: Theater 1 About PALSONIFY™ (Paltusotine) Crinetics' lead development candidate, PALSONIFY, is the first investigational once-daily, oral, selectively-targeted somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) nonpeptide agonist that has completed Phase 3 clinical development for acromegaly and is in Phase 3 clinical development for carcinoid syndrome associated with neuroendocrine tumors. It was designed to be a once-daily oral option for the control of acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome. In Phase 3 studies, once-daily, oral PALSONIFY maintained IGF-1 levels and symptom control in patients with acromegaly who were switched from monthly injectable medications (PATHFNDR-1) and rapidly decreased IGF-1 levels and symptom burden in medically untreated acromegaly patients (PATHFNDR-2). IGF-1 is the primary biomarker endocrinologists use to manage acromegaly patients. Results from a Phase 2 study in carcinoid syndrome demonstrated rapid and sustained reductions in flushing episodes and bowel movement frequency, which are the most common symptoms of carcinoid syndrome, leading to the initiation of a Phase 3 trial for control of carcinoid syndrome in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. About Atumelnant Atumelnant, Crinetics' second investigational compound, is the first once-daily, oral adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) receptor antagonist that acts selectively at the melanocortin type 2 receptor (MC2R) on the adrenal gland. Diseases associated with excess ACTH can have significant impact on physical and mental health. Atumelnant has exhibited strong binding affinity for MC2R in preclinical models and has demonstrated suppression of adrenally derived glucocorticoids and androgens that are under the control of ACTH. Data from a 12-week Phase 2 study demonstrated compelling treatment benefits of atumelnant, evidenced by the rapid, substantial and sustained statistically significant reductions in key CAH disease related biomarkers, including androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone, in a diverse population. Atumelnant is in development for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, with the Phase 3 CALM-CAH trial and a Phase 1/2b trial in ADCS currently enrolling patients. About Crinetics Pharmaceuticals Crinetics Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapeutics for endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors. Crinetics' lead development candidate, PALSONIFY (paltusotine), is the first investigational once-daily, oral, selective somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) nonpeptide agonist that is in clinical development for acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome associated with neuroendocrine tumors. Atumelnant is currently in development for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. All of the company's drug candidates are orally delivered, small molecule, new chemical entities resulting from in-house drug discovery efforts, including additional discovery programs addressing a variety of endocrine conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, polycystic kidney disease, Graves' disease (including thyroid eye disease), diabetes, obesity and GPCR-targeted oncology indications.
