Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Publication of the Results of Clinical Trials. We have been advised of the recommendation for publication in The Journal of Urology® of two manuscripts on the results of clinical trials related to our Urgent® PC percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) neuromodulation system.
On July 10, 2009, Scott A. MacDiarmid, M.D., Director of Alliance Urology Specialists, Bladder Control and Pelvic Pain Center, in Greensboro, North Carolina advised us that a manuscript for which he is the lead author and that is entitled “Long Term Durability of Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder (OrBIT Trial),” has been recommended for publication in The Journal of Urology® and is tentatively scheduled to appear in the January 2010 issue. This study is the second phase of the OrBIT Trial reporting on the sustained efficacy of 12-week PTNS responder subjects undergoing continued PTNS therapy over a reduced treatment interval schedule over a one-year period. Preliminary results of this study were presented at the American Urological Association Annual Meeting in April 2009.
On September 4, 2009, Kenneth M. Peters, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Urology at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan advised us that a manuscript for which he is the lead author entitled “Randomized Trial of Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation versus Sham Efficacy in the Treatment of Overactive Bladder Syndrome: Results from the SUmiT Trial,” has been recommended for publication in The Journal of Urology® and is tentatively scheduled to appear in the April 2010 issue. This study reports on a 220-subject, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to directly compare the effectiveness of PTNS using Urgent® PC to a sham intervention over a 12-week period of time.
Results of the SUmiT Trial and content of the two manuscripts are confidential until the publications appear either online or in print by The Journal of Urology®, or until the results are available as a published abstract for a professional urological meeting presentation, or as the presentation itself.
