(NASDAQ: AXGN), a global leader in developing and marketing innovative surgical solutions for damage or transection to peripheral nerves, today announced that its RANGER registry enrollment has reached the milestone of 2,000 nerve injuries repaired with Avance® Nerve Graft. \n RANGER is the largest multi-center clinical registry in peripheral nerve repair. The ongoing registry study allows for the evaluation of nerve injury, repair techniques, and outcomes in sensory, mixed, and motor nerves, across both short and long gap repairs, and has supported several peer-reviewed clinical publications and surgeon presentations at scientific meetings. At the September meeting of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, data were presented from 511 upper extremity nerve repairs with an average follow-up of 14 months demonstrating a consistent meaningful recovery rate of 84% for Avance Nerve Graft with no graft related adverse events. Findings from the MATCHSM cohort of the RANGER study show Avance Nerve Graft had statistically significant improvements as compared to synthetic conduits in three essential areas: rate of recovery, overall degree of recovery, and average recovery of static two-point discrimination, a key sensory measure in the hand. The MATCH arm of RANGER serves as a contemporary cohort control, providing conduit and autograft data from participating centers. “We are pleased with the depth and breadth of nerve repair clinical data that is developing from our RANGER registry,” said Karen Zaderej, chairman, CEO, and president. “We believe that data in the RANGER registry will continue to establish and further refine treatment algorithms for clinicians. We are committed to advancing clinical evidence in nerve repair and thank the surgeons who contribute to and use this data to better understand and improve nerve repair outcomes.” The RANGER registry continues to provide significant new clinical evidence in the management of nerve injuries demonstrating meaningful recovery treating a variety of nerve injuries and gap lengths with Avance Nerve Graft. The data demonstrates the ability to restore sensory and motor funct...
