Inari Medical's (NARI) PEERLESS II RCT to Boost Patient Outcome
Read MoreHide Full Article
Inari Medical, Inc. (NARI - Free Report) recently announced the first patient enrollment in the PEERLESS II study. PEERLESS II, a prospective, global, multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT), is expected to compare the outcomes of intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients treated with the FlowTriever System against those treated with traditional anticoagulation therapy alone.
Patient enrollment is a major stepping stone for Inari Medical’s PE and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) treatment space globally.
Significance of the Study
The PEERLESS II study is running alongside the currently enrolling PEERLESS RCT, which is comparing FlowTriever to catheter-directed thrombolysis. Both trials aim to generate the high-quality clinical evidence needed to make advancements in the field and establish FlowTriever as the optimal therapy for intermediate-risk PE patients. The PEERLESS II study will include up to 1,200 randomized patients at up to 100 global centers.
Per an expert familiar with the PEERLESS II RCT, anticoagulation alone remains the standard of care despite advances in mechanical thrombectomy. However, this trial is expected to generate definitive evidence to influence PE treatment guidelines worldwide.
Per Inari Medical’s management, the company is actively enrolling for three RCTs — PEERLESS, PEERLESS II and DEFIANCE. This will likely demonstrate the company’s continued efforts to guideline-changing research aimed at improving patient outcomes.
Industry Prospects
Per a report by Data Bridge Market Research, the global PE market was estimated to be $1.65 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $3.12 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.3%. Factors like the rise in smoking addiction, the increase in prevalence of cancer and technological advancements are expected to drive the market.
Given the market potential, the positive study outcome is likely to provide a significant boost to Inari Medical’s business globally.
Recent Developments
This month, Inari Medical closed its acquisition of LimFlow S.A., a privately-held player in limb salvage for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. NARI entered into a definitive agreement to acquire LimFlow earlier this month.
The same month, Inari Medical reported its third-quarter 2023 results, wherein it registered a robust uptick in its overall revenues. Per management, the quarterly performance was driven by strong underlying procedural growth and solid execution across all its growth drivers. Management also confirmed witnessing solid contributions from Inari Medical’s core VTE business, new product launches and international geographies.
Price Performance
Shares of the company have lost 20.5% in the past year compared with the industry’s 9.2% decline. The S&P 500 has witnessed 12.2% growth in the said time frame.
