Key terms: Terumo pays an upfront $10 million for ROFR and will invest an additional $20 million via non‑voting preferred stock convertible into common at a minimum of $12 per share, for total proceeds of $30 million. The ROFR supersedes the prior distribution agreement and gives Terumo first review rights on third‑party offers in the global coronary market. Orchestra BioMed retains development and distribution rights in all indications. Orchestra has initiated patient enrollment in the U.S. pivotal IDE Virtue Trial for coronary in‑stent restenosis. Transactions are expected to close no later than Nov 7, 2025.
Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ: OBIO) announced first patient enrollments in the U.S. pivotal IDE Virtue Trial for the Virtue Sirolimus AngioInfusion Balloon (Virtue SAB), a non-coated sirolimus delivery system. The randomized head-to-head study will compare Virtue SAB to the AGENT paclitaxel-coated balloon for coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR).
The trial plans to randomize 740 patients across up to 75 U.S. centers with enrollment completion currently planned for mid-2027. Virtue SAB holds FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for coronary ISR, small vessel disease and below-the-knee PAD. Prior SABRE pilot results cited: 12-month TLF 2.8%, zero TLR from 12–36 months, and 6-month late lumen loss 0.12mm. Orchestra BioMed estimates a >$10 billion global DCB market opportunity.
Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ: OBIO) will present AVIM Therapy clinical data in a keynote on October 10, 2025 at the Georgia Innovation Summit.
The presentation highlights a strategic collaboration with Medtronic, FDA Breakthrough Device designation for uncontrolled hypertension, an estimated U.S. population of 7.7 million, and a pacemaker-indicated global population of > 750,000 annually.
Key clinical results cited: MODERATO I 24-hour aSBP −11.6 mmHg (1 day) and −10.1 mmHg (3 months); MODERATO II 24-hour aSBP −15.6 mmHg (1 day) and −11.1 mmHg (6 months) with office systolic −17.5 mmHg at 24 months. Reports note improved diastolic measures, favorable hemodynamics, sustained BP reduction, and reversible effect on deactivation.
Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ:OBIO) presented new clinical data for its AVIM (atrioventricular interval modulation) therapy at HRX 2025, demonstrating significant long-term blood pressure management capabilities. The study showed sustained blood pressure reductions averaging 8.9 mmHg over 3.6 years in patients from the MODERATO II trial.
Key findings revealed that AVIM's effects are sustainable, reversible, and reproducible. The therapy showed no rebound hypertension upon deactivation and demonstrated immediate effectiveness upon reactivation after a 7-day washout period. Orchestra BioMed has partnered with Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) to develop this therapy, targeting an estimated global population of over 750,000 patients indicated for a pacemaker with uncontrolled hypertension.
The therapy has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for treating uncontrolled hypertension in high cardiovascular risk patients, addressing an estimated U.S. population of over 7.7 million patients.
Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ:OBIO) has published significant clinical data in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology demonstrating the effectiveness of their AVIM therapy for treating uncontrolled hypertension. The pressure-volume loop study showed statistically significant reductions in systolic blood pressure of 17.1-19.2 mmHg compared to standard pacing.
The study, conducted in collaboration with Medtronic (NYSE:MDT), revealed favorable hemodynamic effects in pacemaker patients. Key findings include significant decreases in end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, and cardiac workload. The therapy demonstrated effectiveness with both right ventricular and conduction system pacing lead placements.
AVIM therapy has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation and targets a substantial market of over 7.7 million U.S. patients with uncontrolled hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk, including approximately 750,000 annual pacemaker recipients worldwide who also have hypertension.
Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ:OBIO) has published significant clinical data in JACC: Advances regarding their AVIM (atrioventricular interval modulation) therapy.

The MODERATO II study demonstrated that AVIM therapy reduced systolic blood pressure by 12.1±12.8 mmHg in office measurements and 8.3±9.7 mmHg in ambulatory measurements over 6 months. Importantly, patients showed significant improvements in diastolic function markers, with e′ increasing from 5.9±2.0 to 8.8±3.4 cm/sec and E/A ratio improving from 0.86±0.39 to 1.60±0.84.
The therapy is currently being evaluated in the BACKBEAT global pivotal study in collaboration with Medtronic for potential U.S. regulatory approval in pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
