ASX health April winners and losers: Sector rises 2pc in stronger month for markets

The S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index rose 2.16% in April with the S&P/ASX 200 rallying 3.6% Morgans healthcare analyst Iain Wilkie said April was a marked improvement on recent months Several approvals during April, including for EBR and Orthocell, helped boost sentiment in the sector The S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index was stronger in April, rising 2.16% after being the second-worst performing sector in March. Healthcare followed the broader market upward with the S&P/ASX 200 rallying 3.6% in April as the local bourse held firm against ongoing global geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds. Morgans healthcare analyst Iain Wilkie told Stockhead April was a marked improvement on recent months, partly due to US President Donald Trump softening his stance on tariffs late in April and easing tensions around a potential trade war with China. Wilkie said April marked a solid month of regulatory approvals with EBR Systems (ASX:EBR) gaining US FDA approval for its WISE CRT system – the world's first and only wireless solution for pacing the left side of the heart. Orthocell (ASX:OCC) scored a hattrick of three regulatory approvals in April for its flagship nerve repair product Remplir, including in Canada, Thailand and the US markets. The latest approvals add to pre-existing approvals for Remplir in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, equating to a significant total addressable market of US$1.8 billion. Regulatory applications for the EU and UK are on track to be submitted in the next six to 12 months. Wilkie said the approvals were also reassuring amid concerns about recent changes at the FDA with reported mass layoffs under Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which were quickly followed by a partial rehiring. "It's good momentum for the sector and shows approvals are still getting through the FDA in time," Wilkie said. "We will see what happens in the next few months."

tech from Isopogen WA, giving it full rights to produce next-generation cell therapies using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Early trial results in Crohn's patients are promising, showing the treatment is safe, effective, and potentially life-changing. To fund the move, NeurosScientific has raised $3.5 million. It also has refreshed its board, including industry veterans and a new chief scientific adviser. Oncology drug developer Chimeric Therapeutics (ASX:CHM) was up 20% in April. The company announced that Emory Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta was open to enrol patients in the phase 1/2 multi-centre clinical trial (NCT06055439) for CHM CDH17 cell therapy. The phase 1/2 trial is a two-stage study designed to determine a recommended phase II dose of CHM CDH17 and evaluate its safety and objective response rate in patients with advanced colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Imricor Medical Systems (ASX:IMR) also had a strong month, up 17.4% after positive news including launching its pivotal European clinical trial for ventricular tachycardia (VISABL-VT) – marking a series of world-first milestones – and securing CE Mark certification for its Advantage-MR system under the European Union's new Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Imricor is pioneering real-time interventional cardiac MRI (iCMR) ablations – using MRI instead of traditional x-ray fluoroscopy to treat cardiac arrhythmias faster, safer and more effectively. Health-imaging stock ProMedicus (ASX:PME) was up 14.8% in April. The company announced owned US subsidiary Visage Imaging, Inc. had signed a multi-year research collaboration deal with UCSF. "I think ProMedicus just got oversold and it went down to around $150 at one point from just shy of $300," Wilkie said. "These sorts of quality stocks always come back to the fore."
