Aclarion Launches the Clinical Utility and Economic (CLUE) Trial to Quantify How Often Nociscan’s AI Generated Biomarker Data Changes Surgical Treatment Plans
Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) has launched the Clinical Utility and Economic (CLUE) Trial to quantify how often Nociscan's AI-generated biomarker data changes surgical treatment plans for chronic low back pain. The multi-center study aims to provide insights into the real-world value of Nociscan as a decision support tool. Surgeons will determine their treatment plan before and after receiving Nociscan data, allowing Aclarion to assess the tool's influence on surgical decisions.
The CLUE trial complements the ongoing CLARITY study, which focuses on demonstrating improved surgical outcomes with Nociscan. CLUE's format is inspired by HeartFlow's evidence strategy, which led to changes in coronary artery disease assessment. Aclarion expects multiple physicians and sites to enroll in CLUE in the coming months, adding practical data to their expanding clinical evidence base.
Aclarion (NASDAQ: ACON) ha lanciato il Clinical Utility and Economic (CLUE) Trial per quantificare con quale frequenza i dati biomarcatori generati dall'AI di Nociscan modificano i piani di trattamento chirurgico per il dolore lombare cronico. Lo studio multicentrico mira a fornire informazioni sul valore reale di Nociscan come strumento di supporto alle decisioni. I chirurghi stabiliranno il loro piano di trattamento prima e dopo aver ricevuto i dati di Nociscan, consentendo ad Aclarion di valutare l'influenza dello strumento sulle decisioni chirurgiche.
Il trial CLUE integra lo studio in corso CLARITY, che si concentra sul dimostrare il miglioramento dei risultati chirurgici con Nociscan.

Insights
The launch of Aclarion's CLUE trial marks a significant step in validating the clinical utility of Nociscan for chronic low back pain diagnosis. This study aims to quantify the impact of Nociscan's AI-generated biomarker data on surgical treatment plans, potentially revolutionizing the approach to this costly health issue.
The trial's design, allowing surgeons to compare their initial treatment plans with those informed by Nociscan data, is particularly noteworthy. It could provide robust evidence of the technology's real-world value in improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. If successful, this could lead to:
- Reduced unnecessary surgeries
- More targeted and effective treatments
- Potential cost savings in chronic low back pain management
However, it's important to note that while promising, the true impact will depend on the trial's results and subsequent adoption by the medical community. Investors should monitor the progress and outcomes of both CLUE and the ongoing CLARITY trial for a comprehensive understanding of Nociscan's potential market impact.
Aclarion's launch of the CLUE trial represents a strategic move in the competitive healthcare AI landscape. By focusing on quantifying the frequency of treatment plan changes based on Nociscan data, Aclarion is addressing a critical aspect of technology adoption in healthcare: demonstrating clear, measurable impact on clinical decision-making.
The trial's design, mirroring HeartFlow's successful evidence strategy, is particularly astute. It could potentially:
- Accelerate insurance coverage for Nociscan
- Enhance physician adoption rates
- Strengthen Aclarion's market position
However, investors should be aware that success hinges on positive trial outcomes and subsequent integration into clinical practice. The chronic low back pain market is substantial, with global costs exceeding
Surgeons Will Determine Their Surgical Treatment Plan Before Nociscan and Report on How Often the Surgical Plan Changes After Receiving Nociscan Data
Multiple Physicians and Sites Will Enroll in CLUE in the Coming Months Adding Practical Real-world Data to Aclarion’s Expanding Body of Clinical Evidence
BROOMFIELD, CO, Aug. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today the launch of the multi-center CLUE Trial to quantify how often a surgeon changes their original treatment plan once they have access to proprietary Nociscan data. Data from CLUE will provide tremendous insight into the real-world value of adding the Nociscan decision support tool to existing diagnostic evaluation methods for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
“Diagnosing the source of chronic low back pain is a significant challenge for clinicians and often results in the omission or inclusion of treatment on discs that do not correlate to improved clinical outcomes,” said Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer of Aclarion. “Evidence points to a significant improvement in outcomes when Nociscan information is added to the treatment planning process. CLUE is specifically designed to quickly determine how influential Nociscan is in evaluating which discs a physician decides to treat.”
Aclarion announced the launch of CLARITY earlier this year to definitively demonstrate better surgical outcomes when Nociscan data is included in the surgical decisioning process. CLARITY is a gold standard, multicenter, prospective randomized trial. CLUE is aimed at providing near term insights into the probability of success of CLARITY by quantifying how often Nociscan data results in a surgeon changing their original treatment decision.
“CLUE represents an opportunity to study the use of Nociscan in an independent and scalable fashion. Any physician with access to Nociscan can easily access this survey tool to build their own evidence and body of data to use when advocating for insurance coverage of Nociscan,” said Brent Ness, Chief Executive Officer of Aclarion. “The format for CLUE closely follows the evidence strategy demonstrated by HeartFlow, whose findings ultimately rewrote the patient pathway for assessing coronary artery disease. We remain committed to leading with evidence as we work to change the way data is used to improve outcomes in chronic low back pain, the highest cost diagnosis in healthcare worldwide.”
About Aclarion, Inc.
Aclarion is a healthcare technology company that leverages Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (“MRS”), proprietary signal processing techniques, biomarkers, and augmented intelligence algorithms to optimize clinical treatments. The Company is first addressing the chronic low back pain market with Nociscan, the first, evidence-supported, SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Through a cloud connection, Nociscan receives magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data from an MRI machine for each lumbar disc being evaluated. In the cloud, proprietary signal processing techniques extract and quantify chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. Biomarker data is entered into proprietary algorithms to indicate if a disc may be a source of pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain, giving physicians clarity to optimize treatment strategies.
