The clinical study demonstrated that patients implanted with the Axonics r-SNM System received clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in Urinary Urgency Incontinence (“UUI”) symptoms and quality of life. Additionally, the study met all secondary endpoints. No serious device-related adverse events have been reported.
The ARTISAN-SNM study is a 129-patient single-arm, prospective,

Top-Line Results
All patients diagnosed with UUI and meeting study criteria were implanted with a tined lead and the Axonics neurostimulator. Efficacy data was collected using a 3-day bladder diary, a validated quality of life questionnaire (ICIQ-OABqol), and a satisfaction questionnaire. Therapy responders were identified as patients with at least 50% reduction in urgency incontinence episodes at follow up visits as compared to baseline. An as-treated analysis was performed for all 129 implanted patients.
At six months, 90% of all implanted patients were therapy responders (Figure 1A) including 80% of therapy responders with a ≥75% reduction in urgency incontinence episodes of which 34% were completely dry.
Across all patients, urgency incontinence episodes per day reduced from 5.6 ± 0.3 (mean ± standard error) at baseline to 1.3 ± 0.2 at six months (p<0.0001; Figure 1B).
Patients averaged statistically and clinically significant improvement on the composite ICIQ-OABqol score (34 points) at six months as compared to baseline and 93% of all implanted patients were satisfied with their r-SNM therapy.
