Neuspera Medical Announces 2nd Phase of Sans-UUI IDE Clinical Trial with the Nuvella

Neuspera® Medical, a medical device company developing implantable devices for patients battling chronic illnesses, today announced it will begin enrollment in its pivotal clinical trial (SANS-UUI), a single-arm study that will enroll 145 patients at 25 sites globally.

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Neuspera’s Nuvella™ system designed to treat overactive bladder (OAB) for patients with urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) symptoms.

The system is the first sacral neuromodulation (SNM) device that offers a minimally invasive option, which may allow for a better patient experience and greater procedural versatility.

“We are very pleased the SANS-UUI trial has reached this important enrollment milestone, as we are now one step closer to bringing the life-changing benefits of this technology to patients,” said Alexander Yeh, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Neuspera Medical. “The Nuvella system is the smallest available SNM device designed to minimize post-procedure discomfort and have no visible external appearance of the implant.”

The feasibility phase results of SANS-UUI were presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in September 2021 and at the winter meeting of the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU) in February of this year.

In 34 patients implanted with the Nuvella system, 90% of subjects demonstrated a 50% improvement in UUI symptoms at 6 and 12 months with 2 hours of daily stimulation, while 52% were completely dry at the 12-month visit.

“These results are very promising,” said Steven Siegel, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Neuspera Medical. “In addition to the clinical benefits seen, Nuvella demonstrated safety consistent with other commercially available devices.”

OAB is a common medical condition affecting roughly 1 in 6 adults.1 The worldwide OAB treatment market size was $1,192.5M in 2020 and is experiencing tremendous growth due to increasing prevalence of chronic conditions.2

Data from clinical studies of STK-001 demonstrated clinical benefit for patients ages 2 to 18 years old, including reductions in seizures and improvements in cognition and behavior that support the potential for disease modificatio. Analysis of 72 patients treated in STK-001 clinical trials suggests that higher STK-001 drug exposure in brain leads to greater seizure reductions. Two-year data from the longest prospective natural history study of Dravet syndrome showed that, on average, patients experienced no meaningful improvement in convulsive seizure frequency and exhibited widening gaps in cognition and behavior despite treatment with the best available anti-seizure medicines.
"Exact Sciences is looking forward to presenting new evidence at SABCS that adds important perspectives to treating breast cancer patients and showing that some patients may be able to de-escalate treatments and still have positive outcomes," said Dr. Rick Baehner, Chief Medical Officer, Precision Oncology, Exact Sciences. "Every year, we build upon the precedent set by the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test and its prognostic and predictive abilities to determine the chemotherapy benefit for specific breast cancer patients. We are pleased to see authorities expanding access to this test as we continue to develop key evidence in collaboration with some of the world's most prestigious, breast cancer-focused organizations."
Clozapine has been established as the most effective antipsychotic medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. However, it is significantly underutilized mainly due to the risk of developing agranulocytosis and the need to frequently monitor the absolute neutrophil count (ANC).
The findings suggest that the novel, non-invasive genomic test can help physicians guide next steps for these patients, enabling them to potentially avoid unnecessary invasive procedures or accelerate time to appropriate treatment.
“These study results are highly encouraging especially given the short treatment duration of 10 days with BX004,” said Jonathan Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of BiomX. “In Part 2 of the study, BX004 showed clinically meaningful improvement in pulmonary function compared to placebo, as measured by relative FEV11 improvement (5.67% at Day 17, 1 week after end of treatment) and Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) respiratory domain (8.87 points at Day 17) in a predefined subgroup of patients with reduced lung function.”
