Epineuron, a clinical-stage nerve care company, announced it has successfully enrolled the first patient in the company’s pivotal trial, REGAIN™.
PeriPulse™ is a direct clinical translation of the pioneering research led by Drs. Tessa Gordon and Ming Chan from the University of Alberta spanning basic science to early clinical studies investigating the effects of bioelectronic therapy combined with standard nerve interventions. The proprietary system has been engineered to enhance usability and minimize disruption to regular surgical workflows by affording surgeons the ability to apply stimulation after the procedure, in the recovery room.
The first patient enrolled in REGAIN™ was treated by Dr. Adil Ladak, a former Master’s student of Tessa’s from the University of Alberta, creating a remarkable full-circle moment in the journey towards advancing the commercialization of the first therapeutic solution to improve recovery of peripheral nerve injuries.
Dr. Ming Chan, MD, commented, “The first patient enrollment is an exciting milestone for Epineuron and witnessing the translation of scientific advancement from bench to bedside is truly remarkable. Our study team is eager to see the progress of the trial as it unfolds.”
“We are thrilled to see the REGAIN™ study come to fruition with the dedication of our entire team. We are committed to forging the path for a better standard of care-for the treatment of injured peripheral nerves,” said Sergio Aguirre, CEO, and cofounder of Epineuron.
