Autonomix Medical shares were up 39% to $14.20 after the company said it saw positive results from a clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of delivering transvascular energy to ablate relevant problematic nerves to mitigate pain in patients with pancreatic cancer.
The medical device company said the first 15 patients in its ongoing proof-of-concept human clinical trial saw significant reduction in pain and improvement in regards to their pancreatic cancer pain.
Autonomix said it remains on track to complete enrollment by calendar year end.
Through seven days, the post-procedure showed a decrease in opioid demand, with no responding patient needing a dose increase. No responding patient needed opioids after their 24-hour post-procedure follow-up visit.
A total of twenty patients will be enrolled in the trial.
