MINNEAPOLIS, March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuwellis, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUWE), a medical technology company focused on transforming the lives of people with fluid overload, announced results from two new clinical data analyses from the AVOID-HF trial, which demonstrate the benefits of its Aquadex System in reducing heart failure readmissions at 30 days. Results from the analyses were presented in a late-breaking session at the Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (THT) conference in Boston.

Key Points: 
  • Results from the analyses were presented in a late-breaking session at the Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (THT) conference in Boston.
  • Key findings demonstrating the benefits of AUF include:
    Fewer heart failure events and heart failure hospitalizations: AUF patients had significantly fewer heart failure events within 30 days compared to ALD (90% vs 77.3% p=0.0138) and fewer heart failure hospitalizations for the AUF patients compared to the ALD patients (90.0% vs. 79.2% p=0.0321) within 30 days.
  • Key findings from the analysis include:
    Top predictors for 90-day heart failure events: Using ML, the study identified the top 10 predictors for 90-day heart failure events.
  • Strong results for super-responders: 90% of patients categorized as super-responders to AUF therapy within this model did not experience any 90-day heart failure events.

Results showed reductions in heart death equivalents and MACCE, with a magnified reduction among patients with elevated NTproBNP, a common marker of heart distress.

Key Points: 
  • Results showed reductions in heart death equivalents and MACCE, with a magnified reduction among patients with elevated NTproBNP, a common marker of heart distress.
  • Patients treated with CardiAMP cell therapy saw an almost 5% lower rate of heart death equivalents at up to two years compared to control patients treated with heart failure medication alone (8.3% vs. 13.2%, respectively).
  • CardiAMP cell therapy was also associated with trends toward reduced ventricular tachyarrhythmias, enhanced heart function as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction, and improved NTproBNP.
  • “These positive results for CardiAMP cell therapy are very encouraging, especially for patients with elevated NTproBNP, who encompass the majority of heart failure patients that we see in our daily practice,” said trial co-principal investigator Dr. Raval.
