The company is developing a pipeline of novel therapeutic agents to control ischemia, sepsis,
and hemostasis, with civilian and military applications. These technologies address serious unmet medical
needs. Its leading product, ClotFoam, is a hemostatic sealant for use in non-compressible high-volume hemorrhage, with important applications in trauma, laparoscopic surgery and wound healing. Second in
the pipeline is a glycolipid derivative (Glyco 23) for the treatment of sepsis, followed by a small-molecule selectin
blocker with anti-ischemic properties (Neutrolide), for application in ischemic conditions such as transplantation and
resuscitation.
We generate therapies that are either not currently available, or that are highly differentiated
from existing treatments. Our chemistry, surgical, clinical and biology teams and efforts are highly integrated,
and are characterized by the rapid generation of relevant data.
If we were to look two years into the future, we see over 60 percent of surgical procedures conducted with minimally-invasive
laparoscopic techniques, using non-compressible hemostatic sealants such as ClotFoam; and a substantial improvement
in life saving procedures following accidents and other traumatic events, including casualties in the battlefield.
Three years from now, we expect to prevent or control the development of sepsis without antibiotics by drugs that
are affordable and have no contraindications.
At the same time we expect to be able to prevent ischemic damage during resuscitation in hypovolemic state. |
