\nCala continues to expand patient access to TAPS therapy and receives an upgraded clinical evidence assessment from ECRI\n<\/p>\n

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Neuromodulation<\/a>–Cala, the bioelectronic medicine leader setting a new standard of care for chronic disease, today announced meeting the primary endpoint on an interim analysis of a prospective, randomized, controlled study. This study, \u201cRWE Study Utilizing the Cala Trio Device in Patients With Essential Tremor\u201d (clinicaltrials.gov NCT05540626), demonstrated that adding TAPS therapy to the patient\u2019s care plan improved outcomes.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating patients adding TAPS therapy had significantly reduced (i.e. improved) tremor power than patients not adding TAPS therapy to their care plan (p<.0001) in the first 261 patients who have completed the randomized portion of the study. 84% of patients experienced tremor reduction and 43% of patients experienced greater than 2-fold tremor improvement (i.e. 50% tremor reduction) after a single month of therapy (p=0.0047). Patients adding TAPS therapy also had significantly greater improvement in Bain & Findley Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Additionally, patients using TAPS therapy experienced significantly improved tremor power before and after TAPS (p<0.0001) and significantly reduced baseline tremor only with 1 month of repeated use (p=0.0018).\n<\/p>\n

\nThese findings were presented at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) on March 23, 2023, which recognized the abstract with a Bronze ribbon award for its relevance, originality, quality and clarity.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere is a significant unmet need for patients living with essential tremor, which is often disabling,\u201d said Stuart Isaacson, MD, Board-certified Movement Disorder Neurologist, Director, Parkinson\u2019s Disease and Movement Disorders Center of Boca Raton. \u201cDrug therapy is only variably effective and associated with difficult to tolerate side effects, leading to high discontinuation rates. These results demonstrate that adding Cala TAPS therapy improves patient outcomes in a real-world setting.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAdditional validation for TAPS therapy recently came from ECRI, the global independent nonprofit authority on healthcare technology and safety. ECRI recently upgraded its assessment of the clinical evidence supporting TAPS therapy (scoring 4 on a 5 point scale).\n<\/p>\n

\nMedicare also recently recognized the unique value of TAPS therapy through new national pricing. Additionally, Cala TAPS therapy is now in-network with several Blue Cross Blue Shield health plans, Zellis and MultiPlan. The company is committed to expanding coverage and reimbursement options to enable healthcare professionals and patients to more easily access TAPS therapy.\n<\/p>\n

\nCala TAPS therapy will also be presented at the upcoming American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting (AAN) on April 22-27, 2023 in Boston, including an emerging technology presentation by Kate Rosenbluth, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer and two study abstracts.
