Autonomix Begins Human POC Clinical Trial Targeting Multi-Billion-Dollar Pancreatic Cancer Market
16 Febrero 2024 - 7:00AM
Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the
“Company”), a medical device company focused on advancing
innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases involving the
nervous system are diagnosed and treated, today announced the
completion of its site initiation for its proof-of-concept human
clinical study evaluating the use of transvascular RF ablation for
the treatment of pancreatic cancer pain.
“We continue to make solid progress with our PoC
human clinical study. This study is a very important step in
validating our clinical and regulatory plans for our technology and
as such our team is dedicated to its successful execution. With the
site initiation now complete, we are working to identify and train
Principal Investigators for the study and remain on track to
commence patient enrollment this quarter,” commented Lori Bisson,
Chief Executive Officer of Autonomix.
The primary objective of the proof-of-concept
human clinical study is to successfully ablate relevant somatic
nerves and mitigate pain in patients with pancreatic cancer pain
utilizing RF ablation in a transvascular approach to the nerves in
the region. Twenty (20) subjects will be enrolled at one clinical
trial site for the study. Confirmation of suitability will be
affirmed by the primary oncology service caring for the patients.
Up to 5 additional patients will be included and treated according
to protocol to ensure the physician’s familiarity with the
procedure. However, they will not be included in the analysis of
the study objectives. Enrollment is expected to be completed before
the end of 2024.
Expected Upcoming
Milestones
- Q1 CY2024: Principal Investigator
selection and agreements
- Q1 CY2024: Commence enrollment in
PoC human clinical study evaluating proprietary ablation technology
for treatment of pancreatic cancer pain
- 2024: Complete ablation device
design intended for clinical use
- 2025: Complete development of
ablation system and catheter in preparation for human pivotal
trial
- 2025: Launch combined sensing /
ablation clinical trial
- 2026: De novo submission
- 2027: FDA clearance
The Company’s catheter-based technology is being
developed to do two things: sense neural signals associated with
pain or disease and precisely target those nerves for treatment.
Autonomix believes this technology is a better alternative to the
current approaches commonly used today, where doctors either rely
on systemic drugs like opioids that lose effectiveness and have
unwanted side effects or treat suspected areas blindly in hopes of
hitting the right nerves, an approach that is often inaccurate and
can miss the target and even cause collateral damage to surrounding
parts of the body.
The Company is initially developing its
technology to address pancreatic cancer-related pain. Current
approaches, primarily relying on opioids or invasive ethanol
injections, can provide only limited relief and may lead to risky
side effects. For more information about the Company’s technology,

About Autonomix Medical,
Inc.
Autonomix is a medical device company focused on
advancing innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases
involving the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. The
Company’s first-in-class technology platform includes a
catheter-based microchip sensing array that has the ability to
detect and differentiate neural signals with approximately 3,000
times greater sensitivity than currently available technologies. We
believe this will enable, for the first time ever, transvascular
diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the peripheral
nervous system virtually anywhere in the body.
We are initially developing our technology for
pancreatic cancer pain, a condition that can cause debilitating
pain and needs an effective solution. However, our technology
constitutes a platform with the potential to address dozens of
indications, including in cardiology, renal denervation and chronic
pain management across a wide disease spectrum.
