NeurAxis Announces IB-Stim Results from a Large, Pediatric, Multi-Center Registry
March 27 2024 - 8:00AM
NeurAxis, Inc. (“NeurAxis,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:
NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation
therapies addressing chronic and debilitating conditions in
children and adults, today announced the results of a multicenter
registry study on IB-Stim for pediatric disorders of gut-brain
interaction (DGBI). IB-Stim is NeurAxis’ proprietary Percutaneous
Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS) technology therapy. The
large and comprehensive study concluded efficacy of IB-Stim for
gastrointestinal symptoms and functionality for pediatric disorders
of gut-brain interaction (DGBI).
Seven large, tertiary care centers in the US
enrolled patients undergoing treatment with IB-Stim. Overall, 292
patients met Rome IV Diagnostic criteria for any pain associated
disorder of the gut-brain interactions. In this cohort, 92% had
failed medications therapy and 61% of patients had failed 4 or more
medication when they entered the study.
Patients were asked to fill out several
validated pediatric measures, including the abdominal pain index
(API), a validated questionnaire that assesses frequency, duration,
and intensity of abdominal pain episodes. Data was collected weekly
for the first 3 weeks and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Compared to
baseline scores, there were significant improvements in the API
after 4 weeks of IB-Stim treatment at every time point, including 6
month (p<0.001) and 12 months (p<0.001).
Dr. Adrian Miranda, Chief Medical Officer of
NeurAxis stated, “To my knowledge, this is the largest,
prospective, multicenter registry for any drug or device in
pediatric patients with pain associated DGBIs. The results
significantly highlight the durability of response after just 4
weeks of treatment, which is a commonly asked question. While I am
not surprised by the impressive results, it is interesting to note
that this cohort is likely to have included the most challenging
patients with high disability and a significantly large symptom
burden, since so many of the patients had already failed
medications prior to entering the trial”.
Brian Carrico, Chief Executive Officer of
NeurAxis stated, “This trial and its positive conclusion is yet
another step forward in our execution to commercialize and bring
our first-to-market treatment to the chronic and debilitated
pediatric patients in need of this evidence-based technology. We
remain steadfast in the execution of our strategy to add to our
portfolio of strong publications in order to gain wider acceptance
from insurers and ultimately growing our revenues.”
