AmnioFix Injectable achieved primary and secondary efficacy endpoints; along with stock jumping +$0.23 or +3.44%


 

MiMedx Group, Inc. (MDXG) announced positive pain and foot function results from its Phase 2B clinical trial of AmnioFix® Injectable in the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis.

The P2B IND clinical trial evaluating the use of AmnioFix Injectable for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis demonstrated a clinically and statistically significant difference compared to patients in the Control Group in their reduction in the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain (p<0.0001) and Foot Function Index-Revised (FFI-R) scores (p=0.0004) at 3 months compared to baseline.

Additionally, the safety of the product was demonstrated by the absence of serious, unanticipated, product-related adverse events and the relative absence of an elicited immune response post-injection demonstrated by the Treatment Group.

 

Now, they just have to get the “accounting” issues resolved, shuffle a few execs and get the stock back where it should be …!

 

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, comprising 11–15% of the foot symptoms requiring professional care among adults, according to studies published in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences. It is estimated that 1 in 10 people will develop Plantar Fasciitis during their lifetime, with approximately one million people per year seeking medical treatment. The Company believes 60% of these patients could be potential candidates to receive AmnioFix Injectable, which MiMedx estimates represents a $450 million annual market opportunity for the Company.
