NEXTBIOMEDICAL Secures FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Innovative Resorbable Microsphere ‘Nexsphere-F™’

Pioneering a Paradigm Shift in Pain Treatment, Accelerating Global Market Expansion

SEOUL, South Korea, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NEXTBIOMEDICAL CO., LTD, a leading developer of cutting-edge Devices, announced that its groundbreaking product ‘Nexsphere-F™,’ a resorbable microsphere for musculoskeletal pain embolization, has received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA’s Breakthrough Device Designation is granted to medical devices that demonstrate substantial improvement over existing treatments and address high unmet clinical needs. This designation enables Nexsphere-F™ to benefit from close collaboration with the FDA, allowing for prioritized review and expedited regulatory processes. Additionally, the designation offers greater flexibility in clinical trial design, significantly accelerating the product’s market entry.

Nexsphere-F™’s proposed indication is “for use in the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and/or analgesics by temporarily occluding blood flow in the genicular arteries”. The product utilizes innovative ‘resorbable microsphere technology’ to deliver fast-acting microspheres into abnormal blood vessels responsible for arthritis pain. These microspheres dissolve within 2 to 6 hours, leading to the necrosis of pain-inducing nerve cells and providing rapid and effective pain relief.

Having already received FDA approval for its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), Nexsphere-F™ will launch its pivotal clinical trial at major U.S. university hospitals this year, targeting approximately 120 patients. It is the only product approved under the European CE-MDD for musculoskeletal pain embolization and has recently launched in key European markets. “Nexsphere-F™ has already been effectively used in thousands of MSK embolization patients worldwide,” said Dr. Ziv Haskal, National Principal Investigator of the RESORB Trial. “We expect to echo these outstanding results in the US trial.” The company is also in active discussions with global medical device companies for commercialization partnerships.

At a recent Global Embolization Symposium and Technologies Musculoskeletal (GEST MSK) conference in Europe, Nexsphere-F™’s clinical results captured the attention of international medical professionals and experts, highlighting its innovation and clinical value.

A spokesperson for NEXTBIOMEDICAL stated that they are thrilled that Nexsphere-F™’s innovative technology and critical clinical need have been recognized through the FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. This will not only expedite the FDA approval process but also positively influence collaborations with global medical device companies and business expansion.

With this designation, NEXTBIOMEDICAL aims to leverage its vanguard pain treatment solution to strengthen its competitive edge in both the U.S. and global markets, setting a new paradigm in the medical device industry.

Huawei Released the Installation Process and Construction Guidance for Passive Optical LAN White Paper

As digitalization picks up speed, the FTTO solution plays a key role in smart campus network construction thanks to its high bandwidth and low latency. By integrating with cutting-edge technologies such as AI, cloud computing, IoT, and big data, FTTO can realize efficient data exchange and provide users with better network services. Currently, the entire industry is heavily investing in FTTO network construction, with new application scenarios continuously emerging.

In the education industry, FTTO can provide ultra-large bandwidth and stable connections to ensure teaching data transmission and multi-terminal access, facilitating teaching interaction. In the healthcare industry, FTTO can ensure real-time and accurate transmission of medical data, improving medical service efficiency. In the hotel industry, FTTO can carry multiple services, upgrade the bandwidth, save energy, reduce O&M costs, and improve guest experience. In the manufacturing industry, fiber to the machine, which is a variant of the FTTO solution, can be used to break transmission distance bottlenecks of traditional copper cables, avoid electromagnetic interference, and support device monitoring and data collection, improving the production and management quality.

The white paper aims to standardize FTTO networks design and construction, covering installation, test, acceptance, and O&M. To help related personnel better understand technical requirements, this white paper also describes the basic knowledge, architecture, and technical features of FTTO networks.

Project managers, technical personnel, construction personnel, construction supervisors, and contractors involved in FTTO network construction can refer to this white paper to efficiently build more standardized FTTO networks, thereby better utilizing FTTO network advantages in digital transformation, improving network performance, and laying a solid foundation for building a more intelligent digital society.
