Core Viewpoint - InspireMD, Inc. has received FDA premarket application approval for its CGuard Prime Carotid Stent System, marking a significant milestone in the treatment of carotid artery disease [1][3]. Group 1: FDA Approval and Clinical Evidence - The FDA approval is supported by data from the C-GUARDIANS pivotal trial, which included 316 patients across 24 sites in the U.S. and Europe, demonstrating the lowest 30-day (0.95%) and 1-year (1.93%) major adverse event rates in carotid intervention studies [2][5]. - The C-GUARDIANS trial showed strong evidence of the neuro-protective benefits of the MicroNet™ mesh technology used in the CGuard Prime system, with the lowest event rates for stroke, death, and myocardial infarction reported in any carotid revascularization trial [3][6]. Group 2: Product Features and Market Impact - The CGuard Prime Carotid Stent System features a novel mesh-covered design aimed at improving patient safety through sustained embolic protection, combining a large open-cell frame with a small mesh pore size to prevent plaque protrusion [4]. - With over 65,000 implants sold and studies involving over 2,000 patients, the CGuard Prime is positioned as a proven technology for treating obstructive carotid artery disease, with plans for an immediate U.S. launch following FDA approval [3][4]. Group 3: Financial Implications - The FDA approval triggers the second of four milestone-driven warrant tranches from a private placement financing of up to $113.6 million, with gross proceeds expected to be $17.9 million if fully exercised [3]. - Proceeds from the warrant tranche will support the commercial launch of the CGuard Prime system in the U.S., regulatory pathways for advanced applications, and the development of new products [3].
