Today, Ambu shares the latest update of its clinical trial results assessing the aScope™ Duodeno 1.5 single-use duodenoscope for ERCP procedures. Following the launch of aScope Duodeno 1.5, Ambu re-started its multi-site clinical trial, and is sharing results from all aScope Duodeno 1.5 cases enrolled to date.

Through 60 cases across all complexity levels, the procedure success rate is 98.3%, meaning 59 of 60 cases were successfully completed using aScope Duodeno 1.5. Importantly, the one case not completed with aScope Duodeno 1.5 was also not completed with the reusable endoscope.

"These interim results add to the growing body of evidence that aScope Duodeno 1.5 meets clinical needs across all ERCP complexity grades, and performs closely in line with reusable duodenoscopes, while completely eliminating the risk of cross-contamination," says Bassel Rifai, Chief Marketing Officer of Ambu. "With these clinical results, combined with our superior economic proposition, we are confident that aScope Duodeno 1.5 will be the leading choice for health systems that would like to transition to single-use duodenoscopy."

The release today of 60-patient data comes less than two weeks after Ambu shared its 29-patient data. Based on the strong pace of recruitment, Ambu expects to share the results of 150 patients using aScope Duodeno 1.5 around our Q1 earnings release in February 2022 and showcase the results of the study at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2022.

With these positive clinical results, Ambu continues its worldwide commercialisation of aScope Duodeno 1.5, with the full launch currently underway across the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
