Auris Health Announces Publication of Results from BENEFIT Study of MONARCH ® Platform in CHEST

This study was conducted using strict definitions for diagnostic yield. In previous studies, variations in the definition of yield led to overestimation of a successful bronchoscopy. Given this strict trial design, the diagnostic yield of 74.1% is promising, and we hope this sets the stage for future multicenter trials,” said Dr. Silvestri, Hillenbrand Professor of Thoracic Oncology at Medical University. “We are thrilled to be making a meaningful impact on the diagnosis of lung conditions, particularly in patients with small and difficult to reach nodules that may progress to something more serious,” said Eric Davidson, President, Flexible Robotics, Auris Health, Inc. “Physicians in the study, using our first-generation MONARCH software, were able to localize and diagnose the most difficult-to-reach nodules at a higher rate than was previously possible. Since then, we have continued to improve the platform, delivering a higher level of accuracy and ease of use. We continue to build robust clinical evidence in support of the MONARCH Platform and work with our colleagues at the Lung Cancer Initiative at Johnson & Johnson with the goal of transforming the standard of care for this devastating disease.”Ethicon continues to generate clinical evidence with the December 2019 launch of the TARGET trial, a prospective multicenter study to further characterize the safety and efficacy of the MONARCH Platform.
