Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 28 | Conference presentation | Positive | -0.1% | Final RF ablation pain mitigation data accepted for SIO 2026 presentation. |
| Jan 09 | Clinical data update | Positive | +2.8% | PoC study subgroup data showed rapid, durable pain relief in pancreatic cancer. |
| Dec 30 | Patent grant | Positive | +8.3% | European patent granted for precision cardiac neuromodulation platform technology. |
| Dec 23 | Investor presentation | Positive | -7.0% | CEO outlined IP expansion and multi-indication platform strategy to investors. |
| Dec 18 | Conference selection | Positive | +4.6% | ASCO GI 2026 poster accepted on long-term RF pain mitigation analysis. |
Clinical and IP milestones have often seen positive price alignment, while some corporate or visibility updates have produced mixed or divergent reactions.
Over the last few months, Autonomix has repeatedly highlighted its nerve-targeted RF ablation platform and pancreatic cancer pain program. Clinical data at ASCO GI showed rapid and durable pain relief, and multiple conference acceptances underscored growing scientific visibility. The company also expanded its IP portfolio with a European patent and communicated a broader multi-indication strategy. Price reactions to these events were mixed but skewed positive after major clinical or IP updates. Today’s SSO podium selection continues that pattern of external clinical validation and conference exposure.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective S-3 shelf dated Nov 26, 2025 registers 13,504,998 warrant-related resale shares. While resale proceeds go to the selling holder, Autonomix could receive up to $7.7 million if all Common Warrants are exercised in cash at $0.8607 per share, which would significantly increase the share count and may weigh on valuation if resales accelerate.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds another peer-reviewed platform for Autonomix’s pancreatic cancer pain program, advancing exposure beyond earlier ASCO GI and SIO presentations. The SSO 2026 podium slot underscores continued interest in its transvascular RF denervation approach. Against this, filings highlight a net loss of $14.0 million, cash of $9.9 million, and going concern risk, with an estimated $30–$36 million financing need. Investors may watch future data readouts, financing terms, and use of the $7.7 million warrant capacity.

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 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.
