About CytoSorbents Corporation
CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in critical care
immunotherapy, specializing in blood purification. Its flagship
product, CytoSorb® is approved in the European Union with
distribution in 37 countries around the world, as a safe and
effective extracorporeal cytokine adsorber, designed to reduce the
"cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" that could
otherwise cause massive inflammation, organ failure and death in
common critical illnesses such as sepsis, burn injury, trauma, lung
injury and pancreatitis, as well as in cancer immunotherapy. These
are conditions where the risk of death is extremely high, yet no
effective treatments exist. CytoSorb® is also being used during and
after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators, such as
cytokines and free hemoglobin, which can lead to post-operative
complications, including multiple organ failure. CytoSorbents is
currently conducting its REFRESH (REduction in FREe Hemoglobin) 1
trial - a multi-center, randomized controlled study evaluating the
safety of intra-operative CytoSorb® use in a heart-lung machine
during complex cardiac surgery. In early 2017, the company
plans to initiate a pivotal REFRESH 2 trial intended to support
U.S. FDA approval. CytoSorb® has been used safely in more than
14,000 human treatments to date.
CytoSorbents' purification technologies are based on
biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove
toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture
and surface adsorption. Its technologies have received non-dilutive
grant and contract funding in excess of $18
million from DARPA, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute (NHLBI), U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and
others. The Company has numerous products under development based
upon this unique blood purification technology, protected by 32
issued U.S. patents and multiple applications pending, including
HemoDefend™, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb and others. For more
