About CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO)
CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and in cardiac surgery through blood purification. Its lead product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union and distributed in 75 countries worldwide. It is an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber that reduces “cytokine storm” or “cytokine release syndrome” in common critical illnesses that can lead to massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. In these diseases, the risk of death can be extremely high, and there are few, if any, effective treatments. CytoSorb is also used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove antithrombotic drugs and inflammatory mediators that can lead to postoperative complications, including severe bleeding and multiple organ failure. As of March 31, 2024, more than 237,000 CytoSorb devices have been used cumulatively. CytoSorb was originally launched in the European Union under CE mark as the first cytokine adsorber. Additional CE mark extensions were granted for bilirubin and myoglobin removal in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and for ticagrelor and rivaroxaban removal in cardiothoracic surgery procedures. CytoSorb has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with impending or confirmed respiratory failure. CytoSorb is not yet approved in the United States.
The DrugSorb™-ATR antithrombotic removal system, an investigational device based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb, has received two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations, one for the removal of ticagrelor and another for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic procedures. The Company has completed the FDA-approved, randomized, controlled STAR-T (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Ticagrelor) study of 140 patients at approximately 30 centers in U.S. and Canada to evaluate whether intraoperative use of DrugSorb-ATR can reduce the perioperative risk of bleeding in patients receiving ticagrelor and undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. This pivotal study is intended to support U.S. FDA and Health Canada marketing approval for DrugSorb-ATR in this application.
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, contract, and other funding of approximately $50 million from DARPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Air Force Material Command (USAF/AFMC), and others. The Company has numerous marketed products and products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology protected by many issued U.S. and international patents and registered trademarks, and multiple patent applications pending, including ECOS-300CY®, CytoSorb-XL™, HemoDefend-RBC™, HemoDefend-BGA™, VetResQ®, K+ontrol™, DrugSorb™, ContrastSorb, and others.

NEWS -- CytoSorbents Announces Regulatory Approval of CytoSorb® in Taiwan
Brings a powerful blood purification technology used to treat critically ill and cardiac surgery patients in nearly a quarter million treatments across 75 countries to date to one of the most progressive healthcare systems in the world
PRINCETON, N.J., June 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO), a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and cardiac surgery using blood purification via its proprietary polymer adsorption technology, announces the regulatory approval of CytoSorb® in Taiwan by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). The approved indications include the extracorporeal removal of cytokines (e.g. cytokine storm, sepsis), bilirubin (e.g. liver disease), and myoglobin (e.g. trauma) from a patient’s circulating blood. The removal of the antithrombotic drugs Brilinta® (ticagrelor, AstraZeneca) and Xarelto® (rivaroxaban, Janssen/Bayer) during cardiothoracic surgery is also approved, with the goal of reducing perioperative bleeding. CytoSorb will be distributed throughout Taiwan by Hemoscien Corporation.
Ms. Bettina Sabisch, Vice President of International Distributor Sales at CytoSorbents stated, “We are thrilled to announce this milestone which underscores the value and efficacy of our CytoSorb therapy and was achieved after navigating a long and complex approval process. We look forward to collaborating with Hemoscien and leveraging their long-standing customer relationships in Taiwan to bring this innovative therapy to patients in need.”
Mr. Tom Juan, Managing Director of Hemoscien Corporation emphasized, “There is an ongoing critical need for more effective therapies to combat infections and to prevent or treat organ failure. I firmly believe that advanced blood purification devices such as CytoSorb® can complement the limitations of traditional pharmaceuticals by restoring peripheral blood homeostasis and balance. Given the widespread and successful application of CytoSorb therapy in numerous countries to treat life-threatening critical illnesses, we are confident in our ability to take what has been learned and to market and support CytoSorb in Taiwan's ICU sectors through our deep critical care network to help save the lives of severely ill patients.”
In addition to Taiwan, CytoSorb is approved in the European Union and distributed in 75 countries worldwide. It is an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber that reduces “cytokine storm” or “cytokine release syndrome” in common critical illnesses such as sepsis and septic shock, trauma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, burn injury, pancreatitis, and others that can lead to massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. CytoSorb is also used as an extracorporeal liver support therapy in acute liver disease (e.g. acute on chronic liver failure, alcoholic hepatitis) and removes both liver toxins, such as bilirubin and bile acids, as well as cytokines. It is also used to treat rhabdomyolysis (e.g. trauma) and the removal of myoglobin. In these diseases, the risk of death can be extremely high, and there are few, if any, effective or practical treatments. CytoSorb is also used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove antithrombotic drugs and inflammatory mediators that can lead to postoperative complications, including severe bleeding and multiple organ failure. As of March 31, 2024, more than 237,000 CytoSorb devices have been used cumulatively around the world.
Taiwan, with approximately 24 million inhabitants, offers universal coverage to its citizens through its National Health Insurance System and serves them through a network of nearly 400 medical centers and regional hospitals. With rising medical standards, use of advanced technology to increase administrative and provider efficiency, and access to high quality healthcare, Taiwan boasts one of the most progressive healthcare systems globally. Like many other parts of the world, critical illness including sepsis is a major problem in Taiwan. For example, there are 150,000 estimated new cases of sepsis reported each year in Taiwan with mortality rates as high as 30%, driven by diseases such as pneumonia, which is the third leading cause of death in Taiwan.
