Aclarion announces updated investor presentation

Aclarion announced the posting of an updated Corporate Overview presentation to the investor section of the Company website. Brent Ness, CEO of Aclarion, stated, “Since our Nasdaq IPO, Aclarion has consistently achieved stated catalysts of value creation to bring our Nociscan technology to standard of care. We intend to lead a diagnostic transformation in spine care with clinical and economic evidence. The steps we have taken in a short timeframe demonstrate that leading surgeons and institutions see the value of our technology for improving outcomes and reducing costs and are partnering to help drive Nociscan to standard of care.” A cornerstone of the Company’s strategy is to engage leading surgeons to use Nociscan technology to non-invasively identify painful discs and demonstrate superior surgical outcomes at a lower economic cost. Aclarion now has 11 of the top spine surgeon leaders in the world aligned and ready to speak on behalf of the efficacy and clinical utility of adding Nociscan to the evaluation of patients who suffer from chronic low back pain. These ten KOLs and one Surgeon Advisory Board leader are committed to integrating Nociscan into their clinical practices, participating in the collection of clinical data, and engaging payers to advocate for coverage decisions. Evidence continues to mount in favor of utilizing Nociscan to determine discogenic pain. The Company recently announced the publication of 2-year follow up data on the pivotal Gornet study. Results showed that the improved clinical outcomes demonstrated at one year for patients who underwent surgery at the disc levels identified as painful by Nociscan were durable at two years. The economic benefit of the superior results associated with the Gornet study were subsequently evaluated by the Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations through The Economic Value Analysis of Low Back Pain Study. EVAL results demonstrated that Nociscan has the potential to save the U.S. Healthcare System nearly half a billion dollars annually and more than $1,700 per patient. EVAL was presented in May at both the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery meeting and at Spine Week in Melbourne Australia. The study has been submitted for publication. The Company was also selected to participate in the Biomarkers for Evaluating Spine Treatments Trial funded by the NIH. BEST will enroll over 800 patients at 12 leading academic institutions across the United States, with a subset of 200 patients undergoing advanced biomarker profiling that includes Nociscan. BEST is a revenue generating trial where Nociscan is paid for each scan. In Q4 of 2023, Aclarion will launch its pivotal CLARITY Trial, a national randomized control trial lead by Dr. Nick Theodore MD from Johns Hopkins Medicine as the Primary Investigator. This multi-site, multi-surgeon study will aim to replicate the surgical outcome success of the Gornet study on a national scale.
