Nexalin Technology CEO Provides Letter to Shareholders
HOUSTON, TX, Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexalin Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXL, NXLIW)) (the "Company" or "Nexalin") today released a letter to shareholders from its CEO Mark White:
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to provide an update on Nexalin Technologies' recent milestones, which underscore our commitment to advancing our patented Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS) technology for the treatment of neurological and mental health conditions. The past months have brought exciting developments, particularly in our Alzheimer's research, showcasing Nexalin's dedication to offering non-invasive treatments without the potential side effects of medication.
Alzheimer's Research Breakthrough and Key Patent
Our Alzheimer's research achieved an important breakthrough, with two significant studies published this October. On October 17, we announced the results of a new study using our DIFS technology, which demonstrated substantial improvements in memory and cognitive function for Alzheimer's patients. This study confirms DIFS's effectiveness in positively impacting cognitive outcomes, addressing Alzheimer's disease through a non-invasive approach without the adverse effects associated with pharmaceuticals. The study's findings support Nexalin's goal of pioneering a potentially safer, alternative treatment for Alzheimer's patients, thereby providing renewed hope for caregivers and families.
Furthermore, our October 28 press release highlighted a second publication in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, reinforcing our prior study and validating DIFS as a promising therapy for cognitive decline. These results collectively position Nexalin as a leader in Alzheimer's treatment innovation, bringing us closer to addressing the core challenges of neurodegenerative disease management.
In addition to these research milestones, we announced the issuance of a key patent on June 20 for using frequency-based deep brain stimulation to treat Alzheimer's and dementia. This patent is an essential asset that strengthens our intellectual property and underscores our leadership in non-invasive neurostimulation. With this protection, Nexalin is well-positioned to expand its research and clinical applications, advancing our Alzheimer's program with greater confidence.
Positive Clinical Data in Major Depressive Disorder
Nexalin's DIFS technology has shown promising results beyond Alzheimer's, notably in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). As detailed in our June 26 press release, a study published in a leading scientific journal demonstrated that DIFS effectively reduces symptoms in MDD patients, potentially providing a new, non-invasive option for individuals seeking alternatives to antidepressant medications. With millions affected by depression globally, we believe Nexalin's approach offers a safe and effective solution that could transform the mental health landscape.
Clinical Trial with UC San Diego and the San Diego VA
Expanding our clinical reach, we recently announced a collaboration with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the San Diego VA to conduct a clinical trial using Nexalin's Gen-3 Halo headset, designed to be used in a virtual clinic model and allowing patients to receive treatment from the convenience and privacy of their own home. As described in our October 22 press release, this trial will explore the effectiveness of DIFS for treating veterans with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). This collaboration is a significant step toward validating our technology's broader applications and addressing the unique challenges faced by veterans who suffer from these conditions.
Strategic Expansion of Regulatory Approvals
Aligned with our mission to make Nexalin's innovative technology widely accessible, we are pursuing regulatory pathways to expand DIFS's approved uses, including Alzheimer's, MDD, PTSD, mTBI, and more. As we engage with regulatory agencies around the world, these approvals will be key to making safe and effective neurostimulation available for more patients globally.
As an example, we reached a major milestone in our international expansion with the approval of Nexalin's Gen-2 15 mA neurostimulation device by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) on June 13. This regulatory clearance follows similar approvals in China and Oman, and allows us to introduce our technology to the Brazilian market, marking Nexalin's first approval in Latin America. Entering Brazil represents a critical step in our global growth strategy and aligns with our commitment to reaching patients in need of non-invasive alternatives for mental health and neurological treatments.
Looking Ahead
The recent Alzheimer's studies, positive MDD data, UC San Diego and San Diego VA clinical trial, patent award, and regulatory clearance in Brazil are all significant milestones in Nexalin's journey. Together, they reflect our commitment to providing safe, effective, and non-invasive solutions for those impacted by cognitive and mental health challenges.
I am deeply grateful to our shareholders, partners, and team for their unwavering support and confidence in Nexalin's mission. We look forward to the journey ahead as we push the boundaries of DIFS technology, delivering life-changing solutions for Alzheimer's, MDD, and beyond.
Warm regards,
Mark White
