Swiss MedTech company Comphya raises €8 million to tackle erectile dysfunction with new device
- Swiss MedTech company Comphya SA has raised €8 million in an oversubscribed Series A financing round to develop an implantable neurostimulation therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) that is unresponsive to medication.
- Comphya is working on CaverSTIM, an implantable device that aims to restore erectile function by stimulating the nerves responsible for penile erection. The company's goal is to provide a more effective and less invasive solution for men with ED, especially those who have undergone prostate cancer treatment.
- The funding will support the launch of a U.S. pilot study at Johns Hopkins and help prepare for a pivotal clinical trial in 2026. Early results from a study in Australia have shown promising safety and efficacy signals, indicating the potential of CaverSTIM to improve post-prostatectomy care.
- Comphya's neurostimulator system marks a significant advancement in addressing erectile dysfunction, offering patients a potentially more comfortable and effective alternative to current therapies like injections or implants. The company's recent leadership changes aim to guide its future clinical growth and strategic execution.
