Synchrony Medical Enrolls First Patients in a US Study Towards Regulatory Submission of Its LibAirty™ Airway Clearance System

CHARLESTON, S.C. and OR YEHUDA, Israel, Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony Medical announced today that the first patients have been enrolled in its single center, randomized-controlled, crossover clinical study of its LibAirty™ Airway Clearance System at Medical University of South Carolina. The study is led by principal investigator Dr. Patrick A. Flume, Director of the Adult Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis Center.

The objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the LibAirty™ airway clearance system in patients with Bronchiectasis.

The LibAirty™System is designed to enable patients requiring airway clearance to clear their lungs with an easy-to-use adaptive wearable device. The system is based on proven principles of airway physiology to enhance secretion movement to thoroughly clear even the smallest, most affected, and difficult to clear airways. A recent case study presented at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference demonstrated how the system already saved the life of a patient in a compassionate use case, as she waited for six months for a double organ transplant.

Dr. Flume said, "Patients with bronchiectasis worldwide are at risk for worsening symptoms, or exacerbations, many of which may result in hospitalization, due to poor airway clearance and lung infections. Synchrony Medical's LibAirty™ could provide an effective way to reduce symptoms and prevent exacerbations. For this reason, we are conducting a clinical trial in which we will be enrolling patients with bronchiectasis for whom we have prescribed daily airway clearance, to examine the system in comparison to the current standard of care. If all works as anticipated, LibAirty™ could become an important tool in addressing the significant clinical need for airway clearance."

Synchrony Medical CEO Anat Shani said, "We believe that LibAirty™ brings new concepts for effective and personalized airway clearance treatment to this market, and we hope the US study will  replicate the promising clinical results demonstrated so far and become the new standard of care for airway clearance."
