The Nexpring participation signals strategic alignment with the fertility industry\u2019s clinical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>PCOS affects 10-13% of women worldwide and is the most common endocrine condition among reproductive-age women and a leading cause of female infertility. Women with PCOS-related infertility often struggle to conceive because they are unable to ovulate consistently or at all \u2013 and current treatment pathways can be limited for those who don\u2019t respond to first-line ovulation induction.<\/p>\n<p>The Anavi System received CE Mark certification under EU MDR in October 2025, and May Health is now advancing its REBALANCE pivotal IDE trial in the U.S. across more than 15 fertility centers. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayhealth.com\/rebalance-study\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial evaluating safety and effectiveness in eligible women ages 18-40 who have been diagnosed with PCOS-related infertility, and is designed to support FDA marketing authorization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor too long, women with PCOS-related infertility have needed more options to support their family-building journey,\u201d said CEO Colby Holtshouse. \u201cWith the continued support of our existing investors, we are making significant progress enrolling the REBALANCE trial and preparing to bring the Anavi System to market in Europe and the United States. We are pleased to welcome Nexpring Health to the syndicate, and we celebrate the strong mission alignment between our organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay Health is addressing a critical gap in modern infertility care,\u201d said Antoine Papiernik, chairman and managing partner of Sofinnova Partners. \u201cBy targeting the underlying drivers of PCOS-related infertility, the company is reshaping the treatment paradigm for millions of women worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>May Health is a French company with U.S. headquarters in Menlo Park, California, originally founded as Ziva Medical and developed through the Paris-based accelerator MD Start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May Health CEO Colby Holtshouse.
