Atmo Biosciences has reached its patient recruitment target ahead of schedule for its dysmotility pivotal clinical study.

More than 200 patients were recruited in a multi-site clinical trial to support a submission for initial U.S. regulatory clearance around the use of Atmo’s gas-sensing capsule to assess gastrointestinal motility disorders.

Atmo Biosciences today announced it has commenced a pivotal clinical study to assess the use of the Atmo Gas Capsule to measure gastrointestinal transit time in patients with suspected motility disorders.

The study involves simultaneous ingestion of the Atmo Gas Capsule and predicate device SmartPill to demonstrate the ability of Atmo’s gas-sensing capsule to assess whole and regional gut transit. Clinicians evaluate regional gut transit to help diagnose motility disorders such as gastroparesis (delayed emptying from the stomach), and slow transit constipation (slow transit through the colon).

A Western Sydney University (WSU) and Monash University comparative study has validated the Atmo Gas Capsule relative to the SmartPill when measuring gastric emptying time and colonic transit time in patients with gastroparesis and chronic constipation.

Dr Jerry Zhou, lecturer and clinical researcher at WSU School of Medicine, presented findings from the study in a poster presentation at Digestive Disease Week  (DDW), held May 6-9 in Chicago.

Atmo Biosciences today announced the appointment of renowned gastroenterologist Professor Eamonn Quigley as Chair of its Medical Advisory Board (MAB).

Prof. Quigley is David M. Underwood Chair of Medicine in Digestive Disorders and Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas. He is internationally known for his research on gastrointestinal motility disorders, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and its link to the gut microbiome. As Atmo MAB Chair, Prof. Quigley will provide leadership and guidance regarding Atmo’s clinical trials portfolio.

“I am thrilled to have someone of Professor Quigley’s standing join our MAB as Chair,” said Atmo Biosciences CEO Malcolm Hebblewhite. “Eamonn is an internationally respected leader in gastroenterology. His ongoing research and thought leadership in the areas of motility and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) will be invaluable as we seek to develop these two key areas of focus in the U.S. and beyond.”
