EDINA, MN, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PETV), an emerging biomedical device company focused on the commercialization of innovative medical therapeutics for animals, announces financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 ("second quarter of 2024").
Key highlights from the second quarter of 2024 and through November 14, 2023, include the following:
- Released clinical study results which demonstrate the benefit and tolerability of an intra-articular injection of Spryng into the stifle joint for dogs with suspected cruciate ligament rupture (similar to ACL tear in humans);
- Raised $2.35 million from the sale of the Company's common stock in a convertible note offering and a registered direct offering in the second quarter of 2024;
- Entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement ("ATM Sales Agreement") with ThinkEquity, LLC for the sale of shares of the Company's common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $2.5 million.
Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company raised an aggregate of $870,000 in gross proceeds from sales under its ATM Sales Agreement.
Management Commentary
"We are excited about the progress the Company has made this past quarter, including the recent release to the veterinary community of beneficial clinical trial results related to PetVivo's innovative medical device, Spryng with OsteoCushion Technology," said John Lai, Chief Executive Officer of PetVivo Holdings, Inc. "The clinical trial data and corresponding results, provided by Ethos Veterinary Health, a nationally renowned operator of 145 world-class specialty veterinary hospitals, indicated significant improvement in the thirty-nine dogs injected with Spryng. All primary and secondary clinical endpoints related to pain, lameness and quality of life were achieved. This clinical trial demonstrates that Spryng is a reasonable, non-invasive alternative for patients with cranial cruciate disease ("CCD") when patient and/or owner factors preclude surgical intervention."
