Vensica, a clinical-stage company developing needle-free therapeutic delivery solutions for urologic diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of ViXe. The study will evaluate Vensica’s Vibe® ultrasound-based, needle-free drug delivery system in combination with Xeomin® for the treatment of overactive bladder (“OAB”).
The Phase 2 study is expected to enroll approximately 210 patients across sites in the United States and Europe. This clinical milestone triggers a contractual development milestone payment from Vensica’s strategic partners. Vensica is supported by its investors and strategic partners, including Merz Pharma, Laborie, Israel Biotech Fund and Trendlines.
Overactive bladder affects an estimated 33 million adults in the United States.[1] While botulinum toxin injection is an established treatment, its invasive nature often limits patient acceptance. Vensica’s ViXe program is designed to deliver the therapy into the bladder wall without the use of needles, potentially expanding access to a much broader patient population.
The Phase 2 study is expected to enroll approximately 210 patients across sites in the United States and Europe and will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Vibe-enabled delivery of botulinum toxin type A. The Company anticipates initiating patient enrollment in Q3 2026.

FDA clearance of this IND is an important milestone for Vensica and validates the clinical rationale behind the ViXe program. We believe ViXe has the potential to overcome the barriers of needle-based delivery and deliver meaningful impact in urologic healthcare.
Vensica’s CEO, Avner Geva
This IND clearance represents a key milestone in Vensica’s development and highlights the potential of the ViXe program. A needle-free approach to botulinum toxin delivery could meaningfully expand patient access and create significant value for patients, partners, and investors.
