A Ladenburg Thalmann report reviewed the study design and purpose.
In March 11 research note, Ladenburg Thalmann analyst Jeffrey Cohen reported that Viveve Medical Inc. (VIVE:NASDAQ) finished enrollment for the VIVEVE II trial of 250 patients across 19 clinical locations in the U.S. and Canada, thereby continuing to advance its clinical programs.
This is the second study for which the biotech completed enrollment this year. The other one, in January, was the LIBERATE-International trial.
"We believe the company has made strong clinical progress and anticipate VIVEVE II data to be released during H1/20," he commented.
VIVEVE II, a randomized, double-blinded study, aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency technology in improving sexual function in women after having given birth vaginally. There are two primary endpoints. One is safety. The other is the mean change from baseline with respect to the female sexual function index (FSFI). Secondary endpoints include improvements in FSFI scores on desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction and pain.
Ladenburg Thalmann has a Buy rating and a $4 target price on Viveve, whose stock is currently trading at around $0.87 per share.
