BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrainsWay Ltd., a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders, today announced the presentation of new prospective 12-month durability data demonstrating sustained clinical benefits following accelerated Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

The findings were recently presented in a poster by Colleen Hanlon, PhD, Vice President of Medical Affairs for BrainsWay, at the 14^th Annual Clinical TMS Society (CTMSS) Meeting which was held on June 4-6, 2026. The data represented outcomes from the first multisite, randomized, controlled trial evaluating the long-term outcomes of BrainsWay's SWIFT™ protocol, an FDA-cleared Deep TMS protocol which reduces the number of clinic visits in the acute phase by 70% in comparison to the traditional standard protocol.

Key Findings:

Over 80% of patients treated with the SWIFT™ protocol were in remission through the 12-month follow-up period, based on clinician-rated assessments.
Among those that received the SWIFT™ protocol, the percent of patients with severe functional impairment decreased dramatically from 85% at baseline to 0% at 12 months, supporting the real-world impact of Deep TMS on work performance, social engagement, relationships, and overall well-being.
Less than 25% of patients had a change in their prescribed medication or another course of TMS within the 12-month period to treat their depression.
The durable remission, response, and quality of life changes with the SWIFT™ protocol were also present in the group that received standard once a day Deep TMS, highlighting the overall durability of the Deep TMS technology for treating depression.

"The ability to achieve rapid symptom relief is important, but durability is what ultimately matters to patients, families, and providers," said Colleen Hanlon, PhD, Vice President of Medical Affairs at BrainsWay. "This study demonstrates that the benefits of the SWIFT™ Deep TMS protocol extend well beyond the acute treatment phase. As the first prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluate one-year durability of both conventional and accelerated Deep TMS, these findings open a new era of access and options to patients and providers seeking to change the long-term trajectory of depression."

The new prospective study followed patients that had enrolled in BrainsWay's original FDA pivotal non-inferiority trial which had compared the SWIFT™ accelerated protocol (5 sessions per day for 6 half days, followed by 4 weekly follow up visits) with BrainsWay's standard Deep TMS protocol (1 daily session, 5 days per week over 4 weeks, followed by 2 daily sessions per week for 2 weeks ). Of the 89 patients that had completed the original pivotal trial (Phase 1), 73% (65 patients) consented to participate in this new one-year durability trial (Phase 2). These participants were evaluated at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months using clinician-rated and patient-reported outcome measures.

The durability study outcomes build upon the previously reported pivotal trial results that supported FDA clearance of the BrainsWay SWIFT™ protocol for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in September 2025. Together, the data demonstrates both rapid antidepressant effects and sustained long-term outcomes, without the need for neuronavigation equipment.

"These results reinforce the strength of the clinical evidence supporting Deep TMS and the value of accelerated treatment protocols for patients seeking meaningful relief from depression," said Hadar Levy, Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. "Demonstrating sustained remission and functional recovery over a full year represents an important milestone for the field and further validates our commitment to advancing innovation in mental healthcare."
