Ivivi Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:II), a leader in non-invasive, electrotherapeutic technology, today announced that it has completed enrollment in its 30 patient, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing the Company�s pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology to treat patients with ischemic cardiomyopathies. The trial is being conducted at The Cleveland Clinic Florida, an affiliate of the Cleveland Clinic. �Published studies have shown that our PEMF technology can enhance blood flow and stimulate angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) by 500% in animals,� commented Andre� DiMino, Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer. �Based on these promising results, we are hopeful that our technology can make a difference in patient's lives by providing a non-invasive therapy for cardiac ischemia.� The Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved clinical trial at The Cleveland Clinic is designed for cardiac patients who are not candidates for surgical intervention such as angioplasty, stenting or cardiac bypass surgery. The trial looks at the use of Ivivi�s PEMF technology over a period of five months on patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition characterized by decreased blood flow to the heart. The primary endpoint is the improvement in regional myocardial perfusion (the flow of blood through the heart) and function as seen with a 64-slice computed tomography (CT) Scan. The secondary endpoint is patient improvement for angina and exercise tolerance. As is standard with randomized, blinded studies, efficacy cannot be determined until the conclusion of the trial. Investigators will then examine the data and compare patients who received the actual therapy with patients who received the placebo therapy. Data analysis and results may be available by the end of 2007. David Saloff, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer added, "Based on the mechanism of action of our PEMF technology, we believe that the non-invasive application of this technology may improve cardiac circulation by increasing blood flow and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. If our study successfully demonstrates this, the technology has the potential to reduce the need for many invasive cardiac procedures. We anticipate the results of this trial will be an important milestone for Ivivi and patients, physicians and insurers, who are seeking a non-invasive treatment for circulatory and cardiac conditions. In addition, we expect these results will be of particular interest to potential marketing partners in the field of cardiovascular medicine." According to the American Heart Association, the estimated cost of coronary heart disease was expected to reach $142.5 billion in 2006. Of those with heart disease, an estimated 5 million patients are not candidates for existing interventions and currently lack options for improving their cardiac function.
