LivaNova announced successful results from its OSPREY randomized controlled trial for the aura6000 System, an implantable device treating moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The study met its primary safety and efficacy endpoints with statistically significant responder rates between treatment and sham arms. Key secondary endpoints showed impressive results at six months: 66.2% reduction in median apnea-hypopnea index (from 34.3 to 11.6) and 63.3% reduction in oxygen desaturation index (from 34.9 to 12.8). No serious adverse device or procedure-related events were reported. LivaNova plans to submit the data to FDA for premarket approval, with 12-month data expected in first half of 2025.

Insights

The successful completion of the OSPREY clinical trial marks a significant milestone for LivaNova's aura6000 System. The trial demonstrated remarkable efficacy with a 66.2% reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index and 63.3% reduction in oxygen desaturation index at six months. These results are particularly impressive considering the moderate to severe OSA patient population.

The absence of serious adverse events and achievement of primary endpoints positions the aura6000 System favorably for FDA approval. The sleep apnea device market, currently dominated by CPAP machines, presents a substantial opportunity. With approximately 30 million Americans affected by OSA and many struggling with CPAP compliance, an implantable alternative could capture significant market share.

The planned FDA submission following the completed analysis could lead to market entry in late 2025 or early 2026, potentially driving significant revenue growth for LivaNova in this expanding market segment.

Top-line results compared to baseline at six months:

Median apnea-hypopnea index reduction of 66.2%

Median oxygen desaturation index reduction of 63.3%

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology company, today announced that it met the primary endpoints for its OSPREY randomized controlled trial (RCT), Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea Using Targeted Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation. Together with its safety endpoints, the RCT achieved statistical significance of its primary endpoint responder rates1,2 between the treatment arm and the sham arm for the LivaNova aura6000™ System. The aura6000 is an implantable hypoglossal neurostimulator intended to treat adult patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

In the OSPREY study, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) reductions are analyzed as part of the study’s secondary endpoints. Comparing median values from baseline to six months with therapy (assessed at the seven-month follow-up visit), OSPREY subjects in the device stimulation group experienced significant reductions in these endpoints as follows:

  • AHI reduced by 66.2% when the median at baseline of 34.3 is compared to the median of 11.6 at six months.
  • ODI reduced by 63.3% when the median at baseline of 34.9 is compared to the median of 12.8 at six months.

Once the six-month results analysis is completed, LivaNova will submit the OSPREY clinical data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of its premarket approval submission for the aura6000 System.

“The study results reinforce our belief that targeted hypoglossal nerve stimulation provides a compelling alternative for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The significant reductions in AHI and ODI achieved after only six months of therapy gives us strong evidence of this technology’s potential at 12 months and beyond,” said Vladimir Makatsaria, Chief Executive Officer of LivaNova. “I would like to thank the patients and physicians who have participated in OSPREY to date. We look forward to evaluating the full results as patients complete 12 months of therapy.”

Beyond the primary endpoints, the OSPREY trial will continue to collect long-term data. After all subjects have completed 12 months with therapy (assessed at the 13-month follow-up visit), LivaNova expects the data to be available in the first half of 2025.

"In addition to meeting the primary safety and efficacy outcomes, the reductions in AHI and ODI after only six months of therapy demonstrate a significant clinical impact for the patients,” said Dr. Atul Malhotra, lead investigator for the study, who is also a professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and sleep medicine specialist at University of California San Diego Health.

There were no serious adverse device-related or procedure-related events reported in OSPREY throughout the primary endpoint visits.

1

The primary efficacy endpoint measured the difference in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) responder rates between active and no stimulation targeted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (THNS) therapy after seven months of follow-up with a predetermined p-value of p<0.025.

2

Per trial protocol, a responder is defined to have realized at least a 50% improvement from the baseline AHI, leading to an AHI value below 20.

About OSPREY

OSPREY is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled open-label trial demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the aura6000™ Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator System versus a no stimulation control in subjects with moderate to severe OSA who have failed or are unwilling to use positive airway pressure treatment. CAUTION—the aura6000 System is an investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
