“We are pleased to enroll our first patient in this important Phase 2 study which will further our understanding of the potential role of NTX-001 in an area of significant unmet medical need,” stated Evan Tzanis, Neuraptive’ s EVP and Head of R&D.

In addition, the company provided an update on the ongoing Phase 2 Trauma study. “As we continue to emerge from the global pandemic, we have seen a significant improvement in enrollment and expect topline results in the second half of 2023,” stated Tzanis. “We would like to thank the investigators and patients for their commitment to expanding treatment options that may improve patient outcomes even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“With the initiation of our Facial Paralysis Prevention study, and our recent progress in the Trauma study, we are positioned to have two significant readouts in our proof-of-concept studies within the next 18 months, which is a significant step forward in development towards understanding an approval pathway for NTX-001,” stated Robert Radie, Chairman and CEO of Neuraptive. “These studies are a testament to Neuraptive’ s commitment to finding innovative solutions to improve outcomes for patients impacted by acute nerve injury repairs and reconstructive surgical procedures involving peripheral nerves.
