ENGLEWOOD, CO – May 9, 2019 -- Viveve Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

“During the first quarter of 2019 we reported $3.0 million in total revenue and also made significant progress advancing our clinical development programs for expanded indications for our cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology in female sexual function and stress urinary incontinence,” said Scott Durbin, Viveve’s chief executive officer and director. “The strategic organizational realignment we implemented in the first quarter has resulted in a significant reduction in operating expenses and will help us maintain improved operational efficiency moving forward. In addition, having completed full enrollment in both the LIBERATE-International stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and VIVEVE II sexual function registration trials, we look forward to reporting final clinical data readouts from these clinical programs in July 2019 and April 2020, respectively. These data readouts will be important milestones in our efforts to gain additional regulatory clearances for our technology that could translate into significant expansion of our commercial opportunities,” continued Mr. Durbin.

About Viveve

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health. Viveve is committed to advancing new solutions to improve women's overall well-being and quality of life. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) technology to uniformly deliver volumetric heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate neocollagenesis in a single in-office session.

International regulatory approvals and clearances have been received for vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in over 50 countries. Viveve is conducting VIVEVE II, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial to assess improvement of sexual function in women following vaginal childbirth. Completion of full 250 subject enrollment was announced in early March 2019. If successful, VIVEVE II results could support a marketing application for a new U.S. commercial indication. Currently, in the United States, the Viveve® System is cleared by the FDA for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. 

Viveve has fully enrolled LIBERATE-International, one of two planned independent, multicenter, randomized registration trials for the improvement of stress urinary incontinence in women and plans to re-submit an IDE to the FDA for LIBERATE-U.S. after conducting certain safety testing. The results of these two trials, if successful, could support marketing applications in the U.S. and over 30 countries around the world for this new commercial indication.
