EnteroMedics, Inc. (ETRM): FDA Approves First-of-kind Device to Treat Obesity

Wer kann mir mitteilen, was in dem Bericht steht, gibt es Neuigkeiten?
EnteroMedics Inc. (ETRM) got regulatory approval today for a first-of-its-kind weight-loss device that tricks users into feeling full. Now it has to persuade insurers to cover the gadget’s price tag of at least $15,000.
It’s a tough hurdle. Many insurers and government agencies have refused to cover previous weight-loss treatments, such as Vivus Inc. (VVUS)’s Qsymia and Belviq, by Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Eisai Co. To get a better outcome, EnteroMedics will have to show the device, Maestro Rechargeable System, is safe enough.
Insurance coverage could help EnteroMedics tap a market of 20 million obese patients in the U.S., according to Chief Financial Officer Greg Lea. The Food and Drug Administration approved the system today for obese patients 18 and older who have at least one other weight-related condition, such as Type 2 diabetes -- the first obesity device approved in the U.S. since 2007.
The FDA approval sent shares of EnteroMedics up 19 percent to $1.40 at the close, giving the company a market value of $97 million. The St. Paul, Minnesota-based company, founded in 2002, focuses on regulating the vagus nerve, which controls appetite.
Maestro is currently considered a Category 3 device by the FDA, with insufficient data to receive reimbursement by government agencies. EnteroMedics is pushing to have it classified as safe by next year, which would make private insurers more likely to come aboard, Lea said today in an interview.

“Our strength for the reimbursement path is, one, safety; we have a very strong benefit-versus-risk profile,” Lea said. “We don’t produce a lot of very severe issues with our procedure that create a million-dollar patient.”
Out of Pocket
In the meantime, EnteroMedics will try to introduce the treatment to patients who can pay out-of-pocket and don’t want to wait for insurance approval, Lea said. He estimated that the full price for Maestro, which targets the pathway between the brain and the stomach that controls feelings of hunger, could come in between $15,000 and $30,000. That’s competitive with comparable surgery options, according to Lea.
Maestro is likely to get insurance reimbursement because it fills an important gap, according to Chris Lewis, an analyst at Roth Capital Partners. He’s one of four who recommend buying the stock, while one analyst has a hold rating, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“There are a lot of patients in this gap between drugs and exercise and changes in diet, and on the other spectrum is the more invasive bariatric surgical options like Lap-Band,” Lewis said. “This fills that gap.”

Getting government health agency approval by 2016 is still a “best-case scenario,” Lewis said.
“It’s not going to be a billion-dollar revenue company -- it’s going to take time to get there,” he said.

EnteroMedics Announces Update on vBloc Therapy Trained Centers and Physicians
Fifteen Centers Certified and Nineteen Physicians Trained as of the end of the First Quarter of 2015
ST. PAUL, Minn., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EnteroMedics Inc. (NASDAQ: ETRM), the developer of medical devices using neuroblocking technology to treat obesity, metabolic diseases and other gastrointestinal disorders, today announced that 15 centers have been certified and 19 physicians were trained in implanting and administering vBloc Therapy as of the end of the first quarter of 2015, supporting the company's goal of training 20-25 vBloc Therapy centers and physicians by the end of 2015.
"Since receiving approval for vBloc Therapy in mid-January, we have been focused on identifying and training centers and physicians in key self-pay markets then working to integrate vBloc Therapy into their accounting and quality-assurance systems, a process that can take 2-3 months per center," said Brad Hancock, Chief Commercial Officer of EnteroMedics. "In parallel, we have been developing materials and programs to support patient access to vBloc Therapy, including a partnership with a healthcare lending company, American HealthCare Lending, as well as hosting well-attended patient webinars to educate patients on vBloc Therapy and building resources to help patients navigate their insurance programs. These efforts have put us on track to begin U.S. commercial implants this quarter."
EnteroMedics' bariatric center selection, training and certification process follows a defined protocol that includes rigorous center qualification criteria and didactic and surgical training. Once the center criteria are met, the Company's field staff trains the surgeon and staff on vBloc Therapy, theory of operation, and program implementation. This is followed by procedure and system operation training and one or two supervised surgeries, after which the surgeon is certified.
"The strong reception of vBloc Therapy by patients, centers and physicians has reinforced our belief that this first-of-its-kind treatment option fills the gap that exists between behavior modification or pharmaceutical options and anatomy altering and restricting surgery," said Mark B. Knudson, PhD, President and CEO of EnteroMedics. "We are pleased with the progress we have made with qualifying and training centers in the first quarter. We believe we have a solid pipeline of patients, physicians and centers to support our goals during this initial, controlled phase of our commercialization rollout in 2015 and look forward to providing additional updates on our progress as the year unfolds."

Kevin Douglas changes stake to active at EnteroMedics ($ETRM)
Posted By: activiststocksPosted date: May 27, 2015 10:04:12 PMIn: StocksNo Comments
Kevin Douglas owns 14.2% of the $100mm market cap medical device company. He’s owned shares for over half a decade, but recently decided to go active, here’s why:
The Filers acquired their shares of Common Stock for investment purposes because
they believed the Common Stock represented an attractive investment. However, they may at any time and from time to time determine to seek to contact the Issuer regarding means of increasing stockholder value.
Prior to the date hereof, the Filers had on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Schedule 13G with respect to their beneficial ownership of Common Stock, initially filed with the SEC on December 17, 2010. The Filers are filing this Schedule 13D in order to remove any possible impediment to contacting the Issuer regarding means of increasing stockholder value.

Es scheint so, als wäre das Unternehmen für die KE übermässig abgestraft worden. Nur zur Info: für eine misslungene KE und eine nachfolgende, die zu einem extrem niedrigen Preis stattgefunden hat.
Werde mich mal weiter hineinlesen. Nur soviel vorweg:
Wenn das Produkt namens Maestro wirklich hält was es verspricht (und das tut es wohl), dann könnte ETRM eine neue Ära einläuten, in der es nicht nur weniger Fettleibige gibt, sondern damit verbunden auch weniger Herzpatienten, weniger Diabeteserkrankungen, u.s.w.
Sprich ein Schrecken für all die Pharmaunternehmen, die bisher ziemlich gut an der Medikation der Folgeerkrankungen verdient haben.

Bin Gespannt, was ab 11.00 Uhr ET der CEO erzählt. Muss was mit den Verkäufen zu tun haben. Zahlen aus dem Report sind ja nur bis zum 30.06. berücksichtigt. Es wird spannend...
ETRM ist vorerst abgehakt. Kein Rebound, die Zahlen sind doch sehr ernüchternd ausgefallen. Zwar wurden 51 Med. Zentren und 77 Chirurgen rekrutiert, aber nur 78.000 USD eingenommen. Tja, vielleicht Ende des Jahres nochmal reinschauen.
4:04 pm EnteroMedics announces that analyses of the ReCharge Study demonstrated Excess Weight Loss of 34% and significant improvements in obesity-related risk factors for vBloc Therapy treated, moderately obese patients who had at least one comorbidity (ETRM) : Mean EWL at 12 months in the per-protocol group (defined as subjects with 12 month data, correct treatment randomization who received treatment within 45 days of implant) was 34+26% (95% CI, 26 to 41) in vBloc group and 19+18% (95% CI, 12 to 27) in sham group. 87% of the subjects remained in both groups at the end of the 12 months. No serious device-related complications were observed in the first year.
In der Tat, ein guter Rat - die MK mittlerweile nicht mal mehr halb so hoch wie der Cashbestand und die vor 2 Wochen veröffentlichten Ergebnisse der 2Jahresstudie zeigen, vBloc works, ist sicher und relativ preisgünstig. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...-publication-24-month-110000474.html
