Funded and back on stroke trial track

A key uncertainty for Nexstim was removed in December as the FDA confirmed that only one additional stroke rehabilitation trial in 60 patients will be required to seek de novo 510(k) regulatory approval for the NBT system. US approval might be obtained during Q418. Nexstim has used €8.8m from the Bracknor/Sitra funding arrangement and had €8.2m in cash in December. A further €3.2m can be raised from the arrangement. Excluding 30m issued warrants, this could fund Nexstim until late 2018. The NBS system achieved €2.5m in sales in 2016, with modest increases anticipated by Nexstim for 2017; new US distributors have been appointed.
