Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the
“Company”), a medical device company focused on advancing precision
nerve-targeted treatments, today reported financial results for the
third quarter fiscal year 2025 ended December 31, 2024 and provided
a corporate update.
Quarter Highlights
- Expanded intellectual property
estate with U.S. patent grant covering technology including, but
not limited to, systems, methods and devices for transvascular
treatment of cancerous tumors and cancer related pain;
- Bolstered
regulatory and quality team to support clinical and regulatory
initiatives in anticipation of FDA approval process;
- Achieved design lock for radio
frequency (“RF”) ablation catheter following successful completion
of animal testing; and
- Extended cash runway with $10
million underwritten public offering, before deducting underwriter
discounts and other financing expenses, including partial exercise
of over-allotment option.
“We are making significant progress across
multiple fronts and remain fully focused and committed to executing
on our strategic priorities. On the clinical front, we remain on
track to report topline data from our PoC trial in the first half
of 2025 and have made significant progress toward initiating
studies in the US in the second half of this year, which will be
used in our regulatory filings to obtain a potential clearance for
pancreatic cancer pain in 2027. We have achieved design lock for
our ASIC microchip and RF ablation catheter, which represent key
milestones in the advancement of our innovative technology,”
commented Brad Hauser, Chief Executive Officer of Autonomix. “With
important key data readouts on the horizon and continued progress
toward potential FDA approval, we believe we are positioned for a
strong year ahead. We hope to leverage this momentum to drive
long-term value for our shareholders.”
The Company’s first-in-class technology platform
utilizes a catheter-based microchip sensing array antenna that has
the ability to detect and differentiate neural signals with up to
3,000 times greater sensitivity than currently available
technologies. Once target nerves are identified, Autonomix uses its
proprietary RF ablation technology to kill targeted nerves,
enabling a precision guided sense, treat and verify approach to
addressing a number of disease categories from chronic pain
management to hypertension and cardiology. Current approaches,
primarily relying on opioids or invasive ethanol injections, can
provide only limited relief and may lead to risky side effects.
Expected Upcoming
Milestones
- 1H 2025: Report topline data from
PoC trial
- 2025: Initiate clinical trials in
the United States
- 2026: Report topline data from US
human trials
- 2026: De novo submission
- 2027: Potential FDA clearance

Summary of Financial Results
for Three and Nine Months
Ended December 31, 2024
For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and
2023, the Company incurred net losses of $2.7 million and $3.1
million, respectively.
General and administrative expense was $1.7
million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to
$2.2 million for the same period in 2023. This $0.5 million
decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in advertising expense
of $1.3 million, offset by increases in officer and employee
compensation and benefits of $0.3 million, as we expanded our
management team, stock-based compensation of $0.2 million,
insurance expense of $0.1 million, franchise tax of $0.1 million
and legal and professional fees of $0.1 million.
Research and development expense was $1.0
million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to
$0.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increases in research
and development expenses during the current year was mainly
attributed to the Company’s clinical trial and product development
costs.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and
2023, the Company incurred net losses of $8.2 million and $10.0
million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating
activities of $5.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
General and administrative expense was $5.1
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to
$3.5 million for the same period in 2023. This $1.6 million
increase was driven primarily by increases in officer and employee
compensation and benefits of $1.2 million, as we expanded our
management team, stock-based compensation of $0.7 million,
insurance expense of $0.3 million, legal and professional fees of
$0.4 million, franchise tax of $0.2 million, and board of directors
compensation of $0.1 million, offset by a decrease in advertising
expense of $1.3 million.
Research and development expense was $3.2
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to
$1.5 million for the same period in 2023. This $1.7 million
increase in research and development expenses during the current
year was mainly attributed to the Company’s clinical trial and
product development costs.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of
$11.8 million.
About Autonomix Medical,
Inc.
Autonomix is a medical device company focused on
advancing innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases
involving the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. The
Company’s first-in-class platform system technology includes a
catheter-based microchip sensing array that may have the ability to
detect and differentiate neural signals with approximately 3,000
times greater sensitivity than currently available technologies. We
believe this will enable, for the first time ever, transvascular
diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the peripheral
nervous system virtually anywhere in the body.
We are initially developing this technology for
the treatment of pain, with initial trials focused on pancreatic
cancer, a condition that causes debilitating pain and is without a
reliable solution. Our technology constitutes a platform to address
dozens of potential indications, including cardiology, hypertension
and chronic pain management, across a wide disease spectrum. Our
technology is investigational and has not yet been cleared for
marketing in the United States.
