Enrollment Complete in Tivic Health Optimization Study for its Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation Device

Business Wire
Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVC), a health tech
company developing and commercializing bioelectronic medicine,
announced today that full enrollment has been completed in the
optimization study for Tivic Health’s patent pending, non-invasive
vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device.
The study is being conducted by The Feinstein Institute of
Bioelectronic Medicine. The objective of the study is to identify
device parameters that optimally influence autonomic nervous system
(ANS) function. These include the frequency and the duration of
potential treatments. Tivic Health plans to use these results to
prioritize clinical indications that the company expects to carry
forward into further testing and commercial development. The trial
is expected to be completed in early first quarter 2025.
“Already we have established that our non-invasive cervical
vagus stimulation device has shown large, rapid effects in
clinically important biological measures,” stated Tivic Health
Chief Scientific Officer Blake Gurfein. “This study is the next
step in moving us closer to potential FDA approval of a
non-invasive treatment for clinical indications that are
inadequately addressed by the current treatment options.”
“While implanted VNS technologies have proven their clinical
efficacy and commercial viability, they are not always appropriate
for certain clinical scenarios,” stated Jennifer Ernst, CEO of
Tivic Health Systems. “Early non-invasive VNS approaches have
resulted in variable responses and modest efficacy. In contrast, we
anticipate this study will allow us to optimize our novel approach
to treating diseases with unmet needs and capitalize on the gap
between invasive and non-invasive VNS treatments,” concluded
Ernst.
Market Opportunity
Polaris Market Research estimates the global vagus nerve
stimulation (VNS) market will grow from $8.59 billion in 2021 to
$21.3 billion in 2030, a 10.6% CAGR over the forecast period.
Additionally, IDTechEx has forecast peripheral nerve stimulation,
the segment targeted by Tivic Health, will grow at 35% CAGR, one of
the fastest growth segments in bioelectronic medicine.
The vagus nerve is the longest autonomic nerve in the body and
regulates many organ systems associated with chronic disease. VNS
is approved by the US Food & Drug Administration for
treatment-resistant epilepsy and depression, cluster and migraine
headaches, and stroke rehabilitation. It is being studied for other
neurological, cardiac, and immune conditions. However, many of the
applications of VNS rely on surgical implants.
Tivic previously announced it has engaged Fletcher Spaght, Inc.
(FSI), a leading healthcare growth strategy firm, to accelerate its
product development and commercial strategy. FSI has conducted a
comprehensive market assessment of Tivic Health’s ncVNS technology
drawing from clinical outcomes from Tivic Health’s successful Phase
1 trial, which it announced in May. FSI, in conjunction with Tivic
Health’s scientific and clinical leadership, will help drive the
company’s clinical strategy and product development in 2025 and
beyond.
