Microbot Medical Announces the Successful Enrollment of 50% of the Patients in its Pivotal Human Clinical Trial for the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic Surgical System

BRAINTREE, Mass., Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative LIBERTY^® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, today announced that it has successfully reached the midpoint of the ACCESS-PVI pivotal human clinical trial, enrolling and completing the follow up of 50% of the patients participating in the trial to evaluate the LIBERTY^® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. The Company expects to complete enrollment and follow up in the fourth quarter of 2024 and file its 510(k) submission with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2024.

ACCESS-PVI is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, clinical trial designed to evaluate the performance and safety of LIBERTY^® in human subjects undergoing Peripheral Vascular Interventions. The trial is expected to support the future 510(k) submission to the FDA and, when approved, subsequent commercialization.

“I have performed several procedures using LIBERTY^® during the trial and I am continuing to enroll patients,” commented Dr. Dmitry Rabkin, MD, PhD (Assistant Chief, Division of Angiography & Interventional Radiology) at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. “I am pleased with the ease of use and quick set-up of the robot, requiring, in my experience, a very short learning curve.”

“We are excited by both the achievement of this milestone, and physician feedback. We remain on track to complete the trial and subsequent submission of the 510(k) to the FDA before year end,” commented Juan Diaz-Cartelle, MD, Chief Medical Officer.
