“Preventing preterm birth is a huge medical priority and a significant unmet need.

Prena's new approach to switching off contractions of the womb is very exciting and promises to deliver a non-invasive way to treat preterm labour”

SCIENCE

Prena is creating a safe non-invasive photo biomodulation approach to stopping and preventing preterm contractions.

The hormone Melatonin, which regulates our circadian clock, acts upon receptors that form in the uterus immediately preceding labor. That interaction causes smooth muscle contractions . . . labor.

 

In human testing using light to down-regulate Melatonin the Company  achieved over a 70% success in stopping or reducing contractions to a safe level.

INVESTORS

Prena is now poised to finish the development and clinical testing of  this product:

a sleep mask that emits a very low intensity cerulean light that passes through the sleeping woman's eyelids and communicates with the pineal gland to  down regulate melatonin's secretion.

 

The product is 95% complete. The manufacturer and cost has been locked down.  

 

The clinical plan is advancing, Sites have been Selected for the pivotal clinical trials,

To date approximately 75% of the company's funding has come from two institutional investors.
