XVIVO has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their Liver Assist device, indicated for ex-vivo oxygenated machine perfusion for preservation of donor livers prior to transplantation. The FDA\u2019s Breakthrough Device Program is intended to expedite the development and prioritize the regulatory review of certain medical devices that provide more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions than previous therapies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The US is the largest liver transplant market globally with more than 8,600 livers transplanted in 2021[1]<\/a>. In that year, the US performed more transplants than the next three largest markets combined (China, Brazil and Italy)[2]<\/a>. The total US liver transplant market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 6 percent until 2030[3]<\/a>. Additionally, the donation after circulatory death (DCD) segment of the market is expected to grow faster at approximately 15 percent per year in the same time frame[4]<\/a>. An article published last year in The New England Journal of Medicine, shows that oxygenated hypothermic perfusion of DCD donor livers before transplantation has a significant positive impact on post-transplant clinical outcomes[5]<\/a>.
\u00a0
The overall goal of the Breakthrough Devices Program is to provide patients and health care providers with timely access to life-saving technologies by expediting their development, assessment, and review, through the FDA. As part of this program, the FDA will provide XVIVO with priority review and interactive communication (\u201csprint discussions\u201d) which provide a faster mechanism for communication with FDA compared to Pre-Sub meetings. This enables device development and review to move forward in an efficient manner and achieve a faster path to market access. The Breakthrough Devices Program not only expedites FDA review but also has the potential to facilitate Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) payment and positively affect future coverage benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with our strategy to become the market leader within abdominal transplantation we have taken a decision to commercialize our liver technology in the US. FDA\u2019s decision to grant a breakthrough designation indicates that the technology is innovative with the potential to be an improvement upon what is available on the market today. With more than 10 years of clinical experience, the Liver Assist is the most used device globally for machine perfusion of livers. As we believe in the extended life of organs we are very much looking forward to expanding this technology in the US after an FDA approval\u201d says Dag Anderson, CEO of XVIVO.
