Key Takeaways From Boston Scientific Analyst Ratings

On Saturday, Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) unveiled three-year primary endpoint results from the OPTION global clinical trial of the WATCHMAN FLX Left Atrial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42024655/boston-scientific-watchman-flx-left-atrial-appendage-closure-device-demonstrates-superior-bleeding" rel="noreferrer noopener">Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device</a>.
The&nbsp;WATCHMAN implant device&nbsp;is about the size of a quarter and shaped like a parachute. It is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.beaumont.org/treatments/watchman#:~:text=The%20WATCHMAN%20implant%20device%20is,forming%20and%20causing%20a%20stroke." rel="noreferrer noopener">implanted</a> into the heart to close off the left atrial appendage, a blind pouch of heart tissue to prevent blood clots from forming and causing a stroke.
Key findings from the study comparing the device to first-line oral anticoagulation (OAC) – including direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) (95%) and warfarin (5%) – for stroke risk reduction in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation following a cardiac ablation were presented at the American Heart Association&#8217;s Scientific Sessions 2024 and simultaneously <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2408308" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">published</a> in &#8220;The New England Journal of Medicine.&#8221;

The trial met the primary safety endpoint of non-procedural major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding at 36 months, with the WATCHMAN FLX device demonstrating superiority to OAC (8.5% vs.18.1%)
It also met the primary efficacy endpoint of all-cause death, stroke, or systemic embolism at 36 months, with the data showing non-inferiority of the device to OAC (5.4% vs. 5.8%).
Additional findings included non-inferiority of the WATCHMAN FLX device for the combined secondary endpoint of procedural and non-procedural major bleeding at 36 months (3.9% vs. 5.0%).
The OPTION trial included 1,600 patients.
In the trial, approximately 60% of device patients had their WATCHMAN FLX implant 90-180 days following their ablation procedure. The other nearly 40% of the device patients had the two procedures performed concomitantly, with the WATCHMAN FLX implant taking place after the ablation.
In addition to the OPTION trial, the WATCHMAN technology is being evaluated against DOAC as first-line therapy in lower-risk patients within the CHAMPION-AF randomized trial.
The latest-generation WATCHMAN FLX Pro LAAC Device was approved in the U.S. in 2023. It is similarly being studied in several clinical trials.
Price Action: BSX stock is up 4.36% at $90.79 at last check Monday.

10 Health Care Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Cortex is a privately held medical technology company focused on the development of a diagnostic mapping solution which may identify triggers and drivers outside of the pulmonary veins that are foundational to atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm disorder affecting nearly 38 million people globally.
&nbsp;
Boston Scientific expects to complete the transaction in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to have an immaterial impact on adjusted earnings per share in 2025 and is expected to be slightly dilutive on a GAAP basis due to amortization expense and acquisition-related net charges.

Boston Scientific Has Agreed To Acquire Cortex, An Ajax Health Company, Specific Deal Terms Were Not Disclosed

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) released the results of the primary endpoint of the ACURATE IDE trial of&nbsp;ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at risk of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41629382/acurate-neo2-aortic-valve-system-data-presented-at-late-breaking-clinical-trial-session-at-tct-202" rel="noreferrer noopener">open-heart surgery</a>.
The data were presented at Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2024, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
This randomized trial evaluated the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve, the company&#8217;s second-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technology, versus a pre-defined control valve, either the commercially available SAPIEN valve or the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve system.
SAPIEN valve is sold by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>), and Evolut is Medtronic Plc&#8217;s NYSE: MDT) brand.
The composite rate of all-cause mortality, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was 16.16% in the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 arm and 9.53% in the control arm, not meeting the prespecified criterion for non-inferiority (the posterior probability for non-inferiority was 77.9%, which is lower than the non-inferiority test threshold of 97.5%).
&#8220;This trial is the largest randomized comparison of TAVR platforms and was conducted over four years, including during a global pandemic that introduced complexities for enrollment,&#8221; said&nbsp;Michael Reardon, co-principal investigator of the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company also presented data from a post-hoc analysis to identify and evaluate expanded and under-expanded ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve frames within the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company reviewed key procedural factors, including pre-and post-dilation, which help prepare for, enable, and confirm proper valve expansion during the procedure.
Following this review, an assessment of implant quality for the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve was initiated. The assessment highlighted that approximately 20% of the valves were under-expanded.
Data from the assessment also demonstrated that the rate of death, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was similar between the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 expanded group and the control group.
Boston Scientific continues to work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the regulatory strategy for approval of the ACURATE valve platform in the U.S.
The ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are approved in Europe.
In the&nbsp;U.S., the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are investigational devices.
Price Action: BSX stock is down 1.66% at $83.16 at last check Wednesday.
