LivaNova Announces 12-month Data from OSPREY Clinical Study for Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Demonstrating Strong Response and Durability of Therapy
'The OSPREY trial demonstrated rapid and sustained improvement for patients who received active proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation,' said Ahmet Tezel, Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer of LivaNova.
In , the company announced that OSPREY met its primary and secondary endpoints following six months of therapy. Study patients in the treatment arm of OSPREY have since shown continued improvement. When comparing baseline median values to six and 12 months of therapy (assessed at the seven- and 13-month follow-up visits, respectively), OSPREY subjects showed significant reductions in AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) over time:
AHI reduced by 68% when the median at baseline of 34.3 is compared to the median of 11.0 at 12 months (versus the median of 11.6 at six months).
ODI reduced by 68% when the median at baseline of 34.9 is compared to the median of 11.1 at 12 months (versus the median of 12.8 at six months).
Further, after 12 months of treatment, OSPREY subjects in the device stimulation group experienced clinically meaningful improvements in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ). ESS and FOSQ as compared to baseline are secondary outcome measures within the study. ESS is a patient questionnaire that assesses how likely the patient is to fall asleep during the day and FOSQ is a patient questionnaire that assesses the effects of fatigue on daily activities.
"OSPREY is the first major multi-center randomized, controlled pivotal trial of hypoglossal nerve stimulation. Patients in the device stimulation group experienced a rapid onset of therapy with continued improvement over time,' said Dr. Atul Malhotra, lead investigator for the study, who is also a professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and sleep medicine specialist at UC San Diego Health. 'Responder rates in the treatment group were strong throughout the first year with one in four patients responding on day one, 50% responding by month three, and 65% responding by the 12-month mark. In addition, patient-reported outcomes for daytime sleepiness and functional outcomes of sleep quality demonstrated meaningful improvement over the course of 12 months.'
Dr. Malhotra will present the OSPREY six-month results and 12-month top-line data at the American Thoracic Society International Conference on Tuesday, May 20, at 9:51 a.m. PDT in San Francisco.
OSPREY baseline values of OSA severity and body mass index (BMI) were representative of the general OSA population. Relative to other large-scale trials of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) in support of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, OSPREY included patients with greater OSA severity and higher BMI. Plus, OSPREY was designed to include patients with complete concentric collapse (CCC). Based on a recently presented predictive algorithm 1, it was determined that the OSPREY study enrolled patients at increased risk of CCC at a ratio aligned with the general OSA population seen in clinical practice. Response rates and AHI reductions at month 12 for patients in OSPREY with predicted risk for CCC were consistent with the results for the full study population, demonstrating the robustness of the therapeutic response 2.
'The OSPREY trial demonstrated rapid and sustained improvement for patients who received active proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation, including those with severe obstructive sleep apnea, elevated body mass index, and high risk of complete concentric collapse,' said Ahmet Tezel, Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer of LivaNova. 'The OSPREY 12-month results further validate the potential of this therapy as a treatment alternative for the large and growing OSA population. With the strength of our clinical data, expertise of our neuromodulation team, and strategic growth opportunity ahead, we are eager to bring this innovation to patients.'
LivaNova recently completed its premarket approval submission to FDA for the aura6000 System based on meeting OSPREY's primary safety and efficacy endpoints following six months of treatment. LivaNova has also provided FDA with interim 12-month results from the OSPREY study and intends to share the full 12-month dataset with FDA during its review.
The aura6000 System is an investigational implantable proximal hypoglossal neurostimulator undergoing clinical evaluation for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe OSA. There were no serious adverse device-related or procedure-related events reported during OSPREY.

InflaRx Discontinues Pyoderma Gangrenosum Trial, Shifts Focus to INF904 with Summer 2025 Data Expected
InflaRx (NASDAQ:IFRX) is one of the best penny stocks under $1 to buy now. As May came to an end, InflaRx announced that its Phase 3 trial for vilobelimab in pyoderma gangrenosum/PG would be discontinued due to futility. The recommendation came from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee/IDMC after an unblinded interim analysis of data from the first 30 enrolled patients. The IDMC noted no unexpected adverse events. Following the recommendation, InflaRx intends to halt further development of vilobelimab for the PG indication. The company will now re-prioritize its resources on INF904, which is an orally administered small molecule inhibitor of C5a-induced signaling via the C5a receptor. Topline Phase 2a data readouts for INF904 in chronic spontaneous urticaria/CSU and hidradenitis suppurativa/HS are anticipated in the summer of 2025.

Earlier in June, Mersana Therapeutics presented additional positive interim Phase 1 clinical data for emiltatug ledadotin (Emi-Le; XMT-1660) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology/ASCO 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Emi-Le is the company's B7-H4-directed Dolasynthen ADC. The presentation focused on data from Emi-Le's Phase 1 dose escalation and backfill cohorts, with a data cut-off of March 8, 2025. These cohorts included patients with triple-negative breast cancer/TNBC, hormone-receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and adenoid cystic carcinoma type 1 (ACC-1). A close-up of a hand holding a vial of biopharmaceutical drugs ready to be administered. The safety and tolerability profile of Emi-Le, as of March 8, data cut-off, was consistent with initial data reported in January this year, with no new safety signals observed.
