Autonomix granted U.S. patent for catheter-based technology

Autonomix (AMIX) Medical announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. patent 12,064,256 titled, Systems and Methods for Treating Cancer and/or Augmenting Organ Function. The issued ‘256 patent covers technology including, but not limited to, systems, methods and devices for interventionally treating cancerous tumors and cancer related pain. The Company is initially advancing the development of its technology to address pancreatic cancer-related pain.Results from a previously completed preclinical mouse study evaluating the ability of targeted nerve ablation demonstrated statistically significant reduction of metastases and statistically significant reduction in tumor mass, further supporting that neural pathways are especially impactful in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer. While the Company’s ongoing proof-of-concept human clinical trial is strictly focused on pain reduction from the ablation of target nerves near the pancreas, additional studies will explore whether these preclinical findings translate to the clinical application of Autonomix’s technology. Based on the preclinical results demonstrated to date, the Company intends to further explore the potential of its ablation technology to slow human pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis.
