Mainstay Medical Announces Publication of Clinical Results Comparing Older Patients and Younger Patients

Efficacy of ReActiv8^® Restorative Neurostimulation™ shows no statistically or clinically meaningful differences between older and younger patient populations

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mainstay Medical Holdings plc today announced the publication of a pooled analysis of three different clinical studies that evaluated the safety and efficacy of ReActiv8 therapy after two years in patients of various ages. The analysis, published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, included 261 patients across the ReActiv8-B, ReActiv8-C, and PMCF studies, with the results demonstrating that age is not a factor when utilizing ReActiv8 to treat intractable mechanical chronic low back pain patients with multifidus dysfunction.

There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences between the groups in the magnitude or durability of response across pain, disability, or health-related quality of life measures. A summary of some of the data from the analysis for patients at two years of ReActiv8 therapy is as follows:

	Percentage of patients with >50% pain reduction	Mean Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Score	Mean EQ-5D Quality of Life Score
Patients aged 56-82 (n=65)	62%	23.4	0.763
Patients aged 56 and below (n=196)	66%	20.8	0.770

Dr. Simon Thomson MBBS FFPMRCA, Consultant Lead at the Pain and Neuromodulation Centre, Mid and South Essex University Hospitals NHS, Essex, UK and the London Clinic, former President of International Neuromodulation Society (INS), stated: “Restorative Neurostimulation has proven to be a unique therapy that delivers consistent results in randomized, controlled and real-world studies. Until now it was unknown if age was a factor in predicting long-term outcomes. This pooled analysis demonstrates that properly selected patients can benefit from this therapy, irrespective of age.”

Jason Hannon, CEO of Mainstay Medical, stated: “High quality clinical evidence sets us apart in this industry. We study, learn, and demonstrate outcomes in patient populations before we suggest ReActiv8 is beneficial to a particular group of patients. This is how we partner with clinicians to deliver the best possible, and most durable, treatments for their patients. With these exciting results demonstrating the value of ReActiv8 across all studied age groups, we can now confidently support identification of older patients who are likely to benefit from the therapy. We look forward to continuing to partner with physicians to help chronic low back pain patients of all ages, and to growing the global body of peer-reviewed evidence supporting the ability of ReActiv8 to provide positive long-term outcomes.”
