Autonomix Enters into Definitive Agreement to License Intellectual Property for FDA-Cleared Ablation Technology from RF Innovations, Inc.
15 Luglio 2024 - 2:00PM
Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the
“Company”), a medical device company focused on advancing
innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases involving the
nervous system are diagnosed and treated, today announced it has
entered into a definitive agreement with RF Innovations, Inc., a
privately held medical technology company, to license the
intellectual property to its Apex 6 Radiofrequency Generator. The
Apex 6 Generator is an FDA-cleared ablation technology designed to
lesion neural tissue for pain management in the peripheral nervous
system. The transaction is expected to close before the end of July
2024.
The transaction, for 250,000 shares of common
stock, grants Autonomix a perpetual non-exclusive worldwide and
royalty-free license of the Apex 6 Generator intellectual property.
Autonomix plans to utilize the technology in its strategic
therapeutic areas to drive value across its pipeline.
“This transaction represents a significant step
forward for the development and commercialization of our innovative
technology platform and can potentially simplify our regulatory
strategy, as the Apex 6 Generator is already FDA-cleared in pain
management,” commented Brad Hauser, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Autonomix. “I would like to commend our team for their
hard work in identifying and validating this compatible radio
frequency ablation generator that will be used in conjunction with
our novel sensing device. Additionally, the team from RF
Innovations is deeply experienced in the development and
manufacturing of radio frequency generators and their assistance
will be invaluable as we move our system forward towards
commercialization. Together, we can work to adapt the technology
for our specific use case and accelerate our journey to
revolutionize how diseases involving the nervous system are
diagnosed and treated.”
To facilitate equipment development, activities
will begin immediately with RF Innovations manufacturing partner
who will be incorporated into Autonomix’s manufacturing supply
chain.
Autonomix is initially developing its technology
to address pancreatic cancer-related pain, with plans for follow-on
indications pending the results of the initial data. Current
approaches, primarily relying on opioids or invasive ethanol
injections, can provide only limited relief and may lead to risky
side effects. For more information about the Company’s technology,

About Autonomix Medical,
Inc.
Autonomix is a medical device company focused on
advancing innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases
involving the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. The
Company’s first-in-class technology platform includes a
catheter-based microchip sensing array that has the ability to
detect and differentiate neural signals with approximately 3,000
times greater sensitivity than currently available technologies. We
believe this will enable, for the first time ever, transvascular
diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the peripheral
nervous system virtually anywhere in the body.
We are initially developing technology for the
treatment of pain, with initial trials focused on pancreatic
cancer, a condition that causes debilitating pain and is without an
effective solution. Our technology constitutes a platform to
address dozens of indications, including cardiology, hypertension
and chronic pain management, across a wide disease spectrum. Our
technology is investigational and has not yet been cleared for
marketing in the United States.
