Recent Financial and Operating Highlights

  •  Completed all 115 implants in the DREAM U.S. pivotal trial, with 12-month data expected in the first quarter of 2024.
  •  Initiated the modular PMA submission with the filing of the first module.
  •  Submitted 12-month data1 on the first 34 DREAM patients as a late-breaking abstract to SLEEP 2023 demonstrating a 65% AHI responder rate, a 76% ODI responder rate and safety in-line with expectations. The abstract will be presented in a late-breaking poster session on June 6th. These data are preliminary and not conclusive of final DREAM success.
  •  Implanted the first patients in the ACCCESS U.S. IDE pivotal study to treat complete concentric collapse (CCC). Implant completion expected in 2024.

  •  Expanded European market access with first implants in Austria. 
  •  Strengthened the supply chain with the Belgium manufacturing facility receiving clearance from the EU notified body.

In 2023, our focus is in the U.S. on DREAM patient follow up resulting in reaching the primary endpoints. I am excited by the data on the first 34 patients and look forward to sharing the full abstract results at SLEEP 2023 next month. Our increasing conviction in DREAM outcomes is accelerating investment in our commercial organization, starting with the addition of Christoph as Chief Commercial Officer, commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoahs Chief Executive Officer. Christophs hire, along with the 19 million raised from key investors, puts us in a strong position as we embark on our next stage of growth.
