Axonics® to Exhibit its Sacral Neuromodulation System at the AUGS/IUGA Joint Scientific Meeting on September 24 – 28 in Nashville

One-year Pivotal Study Results from ARTISAN-SNM to be Presented at Plenary Session

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXNX), a medical technology company that has developed and is commercializing novel implantable Sacral Neuromodulation (“SNM”) devices for the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction, today announced it will exhibit its FDA approved1 r-SNM® System at the joint scientific meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) and the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) (www.augs-iuga2019.org) being held at the Music City Center in downtown Nashville, Tenn., from September 24 – 28.

As a platinum sponsor of the meeting, Axonics will be displaying the Axonics r-SNM System in the exhibit hall (booth #501) and is sponsoring a lunch symposium on Thursday, September 26, during which physician investigators from its ARTISAN-SNM pivotal study will be discussing their experience and their patients’ feedback with the Axonics System.

In addition to the exhibition and lunch symposium, the one-year results of the ARTISAN-SNM study will be presented at a plenary session on Saturday, September 28, by the study co-PI Felicia Lane, M.D., Vice Chair, Clinical Affairs, OBGYN, School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine. At one-year, patients implanted with the Axonics r-SNM System received clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in bladder symptoms and quality of life.

“AUGS/IUGA is the first major medical conference at which our U.S. commercial team is on hand to present our recently approved system and meet physicians who are experienced at implanting SNM devices,” said Raymond W. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Axonics. “As a platinum sponsor of the conference, we have established broad exposure of the Axonics brand and a maximum visibility location to detail the Axonics r-SNM System. The long-lived nature of the device, designed for 15+ years in the body, should result in a significant reduction in the serial replacement surgeries associated with the legacy non-rechargeable implant. We believe that benefit, along with our published clinical data and additional differentiating features, will prove to be highly attractive to this audience of health care providers.”
