Nyxoah publishes positive clinical data

28 oktober 2019

Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Mont-Saint-Guibert (Belgium) – Nyxoah S.A., a healthtech company focused on the development of innovative solutions and services for sleep related disorders, announced today the publication of data from the BLAST OSA (BiLAteral Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea) clinical study for the Genio® system in the European Respiratory Journal. These data demonstrate that treatment with the Genio® system was safe and effective, and resulted in significant improvement in patients’ Quality of Life measurements.

Key results from the BLAST OSA study include a significant reduction in OSA severity both in terms of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI); a significant improvement of daytime sleepiness; and sleep-related quality of life. The number of bed partners reporting loud, very intense snoring, or leaving the bedroom due to participant snoring decreased from 96% to 35% while 91% of participants reported using the device more than 5 days per week.

The Genio® system is the world’s first and only battery-free, leadless and minimally invasive neurostimulator, capable of delivering bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation in moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients who have not tolerated, have failed or refused Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy.
