ProVIDE Clinical Study for BPH Treatment – 1st Patient Enrolled

ProVerum Limited, an Irish medical device company developing a minimally invasive solution to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the doctor’s office, today announced the commencement of the ProVIDE pivotal clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ProVee System, a nitinol expander designed to gently re-shape the enlarged prostate and alleviate the symptoms caused by BPH.

The first procedure was successfully performed by Sijo Parekattil, M.D., Principle Investigator at Avant Concierge Urology, Winter Garden, Florida.

According to Dr Parekattil, “The ProVee procedure is straightforward and comfortably performed in a doctor’s office.”  He continued, “I see many patients whose quality of life are adversely impacted by the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate and the ProVee System represents an exciting new alternative for BPH treatment.”

Steve Kaplan, M.D., Professor of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York is the Global Lead Investigator for the ProVIDE study. “The ProVee System has the potential to be an effective treatment for BPH that can be safely and reliably performed in the office setting” said Dr. Kaplan.  “This international, multi-center clinical study will thoroughly evaluate the safety, efficacy and long-term durability of the ProVee device and I look forward to presenting the data from this large controlled clinical trial.”

About the ProVIDE Study

The ProVIDE clinical trial is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind controlled study to evaluate the safety, performance, and effectiveness of the ProVee System in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPH.   225 subjects, enrolled across 18 investigational sites in the US and 4 International sites, will be randomized to either receive

The ProVee System or undergo a sham procedure.  After three months, patients will be unblinded and participants who underwent the sham procedure and meet the study inclusion criteria will be eligible to receive treatment with ProVee.  Primary effectiveness will be evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and based on the change from the subject’s baseline measurement to those at three and twelve months.

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.”
