Item 7.01. Regulation FD.

 

On June 16, 2021, Motus GI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing enrollment of the first patients in the European Union (EU) study of the Pure-Vu System, which is evaluating the clinical outcomes in patients with a history of poor bowel preparation using a low volume preparation with limited diet restrictions and the Pure-Vu System. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On June 16, 2021, the Company announced the enrollment of the first patients in the European Union (EU) study of the Pure-Vu System, which is evaluating the clinical outcomes in patients with a history of poor bowel preparation using a low volume preparation with limited diet restrictions and the Pure-Vu System.

 

The EU study will enroll approximately 44 patients who have a history of poor bowel preparation and are scheduled for either screening, diagnostic, or surveillance colonoscopy across two sites, including the Radboud University Medical Center (Netherlands) and the University Medical Center Mainz (Germany). The patients will undergo a low volume bowel preparation, with just 2x150ml picoprep. The patients will also be allowed to eat a low fiber diet for two days prior to the colonoscopy as opposed to the typical clear liquid diet the day before a colonoscopy. The patients will then receive intra-procedural bowel cleansing with the Pure-Vu System. The primary endpoint for the study is improvement of the bowel preparation from baseline to post procedure as assessed by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), which assesses the cleanliness of each of the three segments of the colon on a zero to three scale and requires a minimum score of two or better per segment to be considered adequately prepped. The study will also look at key clinical endpoints related to the quality of the examination including detection of critical pathology in the colon.

 

The Company believes there is a large potential commercial market opportunity for the Pure-Vu System in the EU. According to iData Research Inc., there were approximately six million colonoscopies conducted in the EU during 2019, making it one of the Company’s largest addressable markets.
