BlueWind Medical Announces Peer-Reviewed Data Showing Excellent Durability of Results for Revi® System at Two Years
PARK CITY, Utah, February 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BlueWind Medical, Ltd., a leader in implantable Tibial NeuroModulation (iTNM) and developer of the Revi® System, a patient-centric solution for urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), announced today the publication of two-year results from the pivotal OASIS study in the March 2025 issue of the Journal of Urology.
The OASIS study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical study of 151 adult women (mean age 58.8 years) with UUI (urgency urinary incontinence; overactive bladder-wet syndrome [OAB-wet]). The trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Revi in treating UUI symptoms in patients with OAB-wet. Primary efficacy and safety endpoints were assessed at six and 12 months, with 97 participants consenting to and completing the 24-month assessment.
Key findings at two years demonstrate Revi's durable efficacy, highly favorable safety profile, and high patient satisfaction, supporting its use for treating UUI. Notably, a sustained therapy response was observed utilizing a more flexible provider and patient-driven schedule in year two (≥ two 30-minute sessions/week) compared to the first year (30-minute daily sessions). Patients averaged at least one treatment session on eight of 10 days, tailored to individual symptom needs.
The OASIS study's two-year analysis demonstrated that Revi provided sustained therapy response with:
Durable reduction in UUI episodes, with 79% of participants experiencing a ≥50% reduction in UUI episodes and 56% achieving a ≥75% reduction in UUI
High satisfaction rates, with 97% of the participants satisfied and 97% reporting feeling "better" to "very much better"
Freedom from leaks with 28% of patients dry on a three-day voiding diary
Substantial reduction in large volume urgency-related leaks, one of the most debilitating aspects of UUI, from 0.9/day to 0.1/day
An excellent safety profile, with no (0%) device- or procedure-related serious adverse events, no device migrations, and no device revision procedures
"What sets Revi apart is its patient centricity. The system allows patients to tailor treatment intervals to their symptoms and providers to individualize treatment plans to each patient," said John Heesakkers, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Urology of the Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands. "It is encouraging to see that the OASIS study long-term data continues to validate the Revi System as a durable and effective treatment for UUI."
With recent concerns about the potential link between anticholinergic agents and dementia risk, there is an increased need for flexible, non-pharmacologic treatment options. Revi is the first iTNM device for the treatment of UUI labeled for use without prior failure of more conservative therapies. Revi, with its unique label, offers an effective treatment option, supported by the newly updated 2024 Guideline on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Idiopathic Overactive Bladder from the American Urological Association and the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction, which advocates for early consideration of minimally invasive therapy and emphasizes shared decision-making in OAB and UUI management.
"The two-year study results affirm the Revi System's significant impact in improving OAB and UUI symptoms and underscore its innovation and effectiveness as a minimally invasive neuromodulation option," said Roger Dmochowski, M.D., Chief Medical Advisor, BlueWind Medical. "Our commitment remains steadfast to enhancing treatment options and elevating the quality of life for people grappling with UUI."

Bayer Provides Regulatory Update on Elinzanetant for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Hot Flashes Due to Menopause
WHIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bayer today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the review period for the New Drug Application (NDA) for elinzanetant. Elinzanetant is the first neurokinin 1 and neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist in late-stage clinical development for the hormone-free treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) due to menopause. The FDA has determined additional time is needed for a full review of the NDA submission, including information provided to support the application. The extension to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) review period is up to 90 days. The FDA did not raise any concern regarding the general approvability of elinzanetant in its correspondence. 'We are confident in the potential of elinzanetant to provide meaningful clinical benefit to women pending regulatory approval,' said Yesmean Wahdan, M.D., Senior Vice President and Head of Medical Affairs, North America, Pharmaceuticals. 'We continue to work with the FDA to make this treatment available for women in menopause with moderate to severe hot flashes. Despite the universal experience of menopause, social stigma and misinformation persist, leaving many women to suffer without treatment and support. It's critical we advance innovation and education in menopause so women can work with their healthcare provider to determine the best option for them.' The NDA is based on the positive results from the OASIS 1, 2 and 3 Phase III studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of the investigational compound elinzanetant versus placebo.

Theraclion Growth Up in S1 2025
MALAKOFF, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: THERACLION (ISIN: FR0010120402; Mnemo: ALTHE), an innovative company developing Sonovein®, a robotic platform for non-invasive High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) varicose vein treatment, reviews its business for S1 2025. Sales of consumables (recurring revenue) up 30% compared to 2024 New treatment centers opened in Bulgaria and Spain Appointment of a new business manager and acceleration of commercial activities On-schedule completion of the follow-up period for the pivotal FDA clinical trial Martin Deterre, CEO of Theraclion, states: "In early 2025, Theraclion stepped up Sonovein's activity. In June, the final 12-month follow-ups for patients in the pivotal FDA-approved clinical trial were completed on-schedule. We are now awaiting the final results, which we expect to publish in September. Theraclion has also entered a business development phase: building a sales and marketing team, opening two new Sonovein treatment centers, and achieving significant growth in recurring revenue — all of which promise the achievement of our ambitious goals." Commercial activity acceleration As part of its business development, Theraclion is actively building its sales and marketing team. In May 2025, Thibault Le Normand joined the company as Chief Business Officer to boost sales in the Middle East and product placements (PPUs) of Sonovein in Europe. With over a decade of experience in international development of medical devices, Thibault Le Normand brings valuable expertise to this strategic growth phase. At the same time, the technological credibility and clinical maturity of Sonovein have been further demonstrated by the publication of new scientific articles as well as by over a dozen presentations at major international congresses by renowned physicians using the device. Sonovein's international profile has also increased through Theraclion's participation in congresses, such as Vein in Venice (April, Venice), Venous Symposium (May, New York), and the European Venous Forum (June, Krakow). This outreach effort was supported by the launch of a new product identity and a new website, giving Sonovein a new brand image that reflects innovation, clinical excellence, and ambition. In addition, two new product placement (PPU) contracts for Sonovein have been signed in Bulgaria and Spain, stepping up Theraclion's presence in Europe and expanding the installed base of the technology. Revenue for S1 2025 Theraclion's revenue for S1 2025 was €835K, up 89% compared to 2024 (€442K) (prior to the non-recurring adjustment of €680K related to the cancellation of Echopulse system sales in 2024). Consumables, which include recurring revenues from PPUs, was up 30% compared to S1 2024. Service revenues were up 232% over the same period. This strong momentum is a key indicator of increasing use of Sonovein by treatment centers and reflects the technology's sustained traction in the field. Combined, consumables and services — representing recurring revenue — was up 57% compared to 2024. Progress of the pivotal FDA clinical trial In the USA, the pivotal FDA-approved study for SONOVEIN® reached a major milestone in June 2025 with the on-schedule completion of the 12-month post-treatment patient follow-ups. Data analysis is currently underway, with results expected in September. Submission of the marketing authorization application to the FDA is planned for Fall 2025, with potential approval estimated for Q2 2026, subject to the FDA's processing time. This progress marks a critical strategic milestone in the work to access the world's largest market for venous disease treatment. Next financial publication: Theraclion will publish its interim financial results on October 29, 2025. About Theraclion Theraclion is a French MedTech company committed to developing a non-invasive alternative to surgery through the innovative use of focused ultrasound.
