Nevro Announces Publication of SENZA-RCT Results in Anesthesiology

2015-07-28 13:29 ET - News Release

Publication of "Novel 10 kHz High Frequency Therapy (HF10 Therapy) Is Superior to Traditional Low Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Back and Leg Pain: The SENZA-RCT Randomized Controlled Trial"

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevro Corp. (NYSE: NVRO), a global medical device company that is providing innovative evidence-based solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today announced the publication of the SENZA-RCT results in the Online First edition of Anesthesiology, the official Journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The SENZA-RCT pivotal study was a ground-breaking study that was the first to directly compare spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapies.  The multicenter study compared the safety and effectiveness of HF10™ therapy to traditional SCS therapy.  The study enrolled 241 patients across 11 U.S. clinical trial sites (171 patients received SCS implants at 10 sites), making it the largest prospective randomized SCS study ever conducted to assess the treatment of chronic back and leg pain. 

The Senza® SCS system received FDA approval in May of 2015.  The results of the SENZA-RCT, first presented at the North American Neuromodulation Society meeting in December of 2014, provided the evidentiary basis for HF10 therapy's superiority labeling from FDA, a first in the SCS space.  Additional information, including 18-month data from the SENZA-RCT, will be presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Spine Intervention Society on July 29th, 2015.

The full SENZA-RCT publication is available by subscription at http://anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org/onlinefirst.aspx.

About the Senza System and HF10 Therapy

The Senza system is the only SCS system that delivers Nevro's proprietary HF10 therapy, an SCS therapy that provides electrical pulses to the spinal cord to alleviate pain. The electrical pulses are delivered by small electrodes on leads that are placed near the spinal cord and are connected to a compact, battery-powered generator implanted under the skin. HF10 therapy is the only SCS therapy indicated to provide pain relief without paresthesia (a stimulation-induced sensation, such as tingling or buzzing, which is the basis of traditional SCS) and is also the first SCS therapy to demonstrate superiority to traditional SCS for back and leg pain in a comparative pivotal study. Nevro's innovations in SCS, including the Senza® system and HF10™ therapy, are covered by more than 75 issued U.S. and international patents.
