Signum Surgical Completes Clinical Trial for BioHealx

Signum Surgical, (‘Signum’ or ‘the Company’) the clinical stage medical technology company developing innovative solutions to treat colorectal diseases, announces the completion of its single-arm, non-randomized, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its BioHealxTM device for the treatment of anal fistula.

The multi-centre clinical trial, led by four investigators, treated a total of 32 patients in the adult male and female patient population with BioHealxTM, who had experienced recurrent anal fistula from at least one previous failed procedure. Final follow up assessments have been completed on the 32 patients over a period ranging from 13 to 40 months. This clinical trial data is currently being compiled for submission of a De Novo classification request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and scientific publication in due course, which would pave the way for bringing BioHealxTM to market.

As a novel treatment option, with no legally marketed predicate device, Signum Surgical will submit a De Novo request to classify BioHealxTM,. A DeNovo request is a risk-based classification process for which general controls alone, or general and special controls, provide reasonable assurances of the safety and efficacy for its use in the treatment of anal fistula.

Peter Ónody, Colorectal Surgeon and Principal Investigator of the clinical trial, commented: “I am excited at the potential of BioHealxTM as a novel surgical option for the treatment of anal fistula and, in particular, its ease of use for physicians. This treatment has the potential to eliminate the need for multiple surgeries and substantially reduce surgical trauma and the rate of fistula recurrence, while reducing costs for patients and the overall health care system.”

Moshe Zilversmit, Co-Founder and CEO of Signum Surgical, commented: “The completion of our clinical trial marks a significant milestone for Signum Surgical and our BioHealxTM device. We look forward to submitting our De Novo classification request to the U.S. FDA and the scientific publication of the data in due course, as we seek to bring this novel treatment to market for the benefit of patients, surgeons, and the healthcare system.”

Headquartered in Galway, Ireland, Signum Surgical is a clinical stage, ISO 13485 certified, company focused on developing minimally invasive technologies to treat colorectal diseases, firstly introducing the BioHealx™ technology to address the treatment of anal fistula. This painful colorectal condition affects one in 5,000 people worldwide1 and in the United States over 90,000 surgeries are performed annually to treat anal fistula2. Current treatment options are often unsuccessful, which frequently result in inadequate or slow healing, a high risk of incontinence, and repeat procedures.

Developed in collaboration with expert colorectal surgeons, BioHealxTM will enable surgeons to treat anal fistula with a minimally invasive outpatient procedure, featuring a single use, bioabsorbable implant that is designed to close the fistula tract and dissolve in the body after treatment. The single-operation approach is designed to promote healing, prevent fistula recurrence, and pro

PADCEV® (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) and KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) Significantly Improve Overall Survival and Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Previously Untreated Advanced Bladder Cancer in Pivotal Phase...

The EV-302 study met its dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), compared to chemotherapy. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee determined that OS crossed the pre-specified efficacy boundary at interim analysis. The safety results of the combination are consistent with those of enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab previously reported in cisplatin-ineligible patients with la/mUC.

NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals Doses First Patient in Its Phase 2a Clinical Trial Evaluating DA-1241 for the Treatment of NASH

"Dosing the first patient, on time, is a testament to our commitment to the clinical development of DA-1241 in patients with NASH," stated Hyung Heon Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroBo. "Based on the pre-clinical and clinical evidence generated to date, DA-1241 has demonstrated reduced hepatic steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and liver fibrosis, while also improving glucose control, and was shown to be well tolerated in both healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Given this data, we believe that the mechanism of action of this promising cardiometabolic asset will translate into a safe and effective treatment for NASH, a disease with no current treatment options. The two-part design of this trial provides optionality for a potential interim analysis in the first half of 2024 and we expect to report the full data in the second half of 2024."
