AVIM Therapy: A Promising Solution for Hypertension
The AVIM Therapy presentations will emphasize the benefits of the collaboration between Orchestra BioMed and Medtronic. This partnership aims to develop and commercialize AVIM Therapy to address uncontrolled hypertension in patients requiring pacemakers. AVIM Therapy has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation and is designed to be integrated into existing pacemaker technology, aiming to provide immediate and sustained reductions in blood pressure.
Implications of AVIM Therapy
Research from the MODERATO II double-blind study demonstrated that patients utilizing AVIM Therapy experienced an average reduction of 8.1 mmHg in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure and 12.3 mmHg in office systolic blood pressure after six months. The ongoing BACKBEAT pivotal study continues to assess the safety and efficacy of AVIM Therapy, focusing on patients with systolic blood pressure issues despite medication.
Virtue SAB: A Revolutionary Drug Delivery System
The Virtue SAB presentation will showcase its innovative non-coated drug delivery system for treating coronary artery disease. This angioplasty balloon is designed to deliver a patented extended-release sirolimus formulation, effectively addressing the issue of in-stent restenosis (ISR). It also holds FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the treatment of coronary ISR and small vessel disease.
Strategic Collaborations Fueling Growth
Orchestra BioMed's dedication to biomedical innovation positions it strongly in the market. With two flagship product candidates—AVIM Therapy and Virtue SAB—the company is poised to capitalize on substantial market opportunities. Together, these therapies represent a significant advancement in treating hypertensive heart disease and achieving better outcomes for patients worldwide.
