The univercité-based startup, Aspivix, a developer of medical technologies to advance gynecological care, today announced completion of and interim analysis results from its Phase I first-in-women trial. The ADVANCE Women (Atraumatic Device using VAcuum Technology for CErvical Procedures in WOMEN) Phase I trial was conducted at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) by Prof. Patrice Mathevet, an expert in innovative gynecological surgical approaches, and his team.
The two-phase ADVANCE Women trial is assessing the usability, efficacy and safety of the investigational CAREVIX™, an innovative, soft-suction cervical device designed as a modern and gentler alternative to a tenaculum to stabilize the cervix for the insertion of an Intrauterine Device (IUD) for contraception. CAREVIX is limited to investigational use and not yet available commercially anywhere in the world.
