NeurAxis Announces New Submission to the FDA for the Expansion of its IB-Stim Label; Provides Compliance with NYSE Guidelines on Audit Disclosure
June 07 2024 - 9:00AM
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 a submission to the FDA for
expansion of its IB-Stim label. The new submission is significant
as it would allow access to a larger patient population beyond
11-18 years of age and allow for marketing of 4 devices per
prescription.
A systematic literature review demonstrated that
at least 9 published studies that used the IB-Stim technology in
children with chronic abdominal pain used a total of four devices
over 4 consecutive weeks. The systematic literature review also
demonstrated that many patients as young as 8 years and up to 21
years, which is outside of the current indication age range, have
been successfully treated with IB-Stim. No study reported serious
adverse events. These data were submitted to the FDA through a 510k
application to expand the current label.
“We are excited about our new submission to the
FDA to expand the label for IB-Stim which would include ages 8-21,
and 4 devices over 4 weeks. IB-Stim is currently indicated for ages
11-18 years of age, using 3 devices not to exceed 4. This potential
label expansion could impact many children who would otherwise fall
into an “off-label” category and allow for them to receive the
proper care that is supported by the scientific literature. We are
cautiously optimistic that the FDA will grant the request for a
label expansion,” said Brian Carrico, President and Chief Executive
Officer of NeurAxis. “We continue to make progress on our robust
pipeline of indications, as we have positioned NeurAxis to become a
leader in the treatment of disorders of the gut-brain
interactions,” Mr. Carrico concluded.
