Headquartered in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, CytoSorbents Corporation, and their operating subsidiary CytoSorbents, Inc., is a critical care focused therapeutic device company in clinical trials to treat severe sepsis, often called “overwhelming infection,” with a novel blood purification device called CytoSorb™. Severe sepsis is typically triggered by bacterial infections like pneumonia, or viral infections like influenza. It is the body’s abnormal immune response to the trigger that leads to severe inflammation and the unregulated, massive production of cytokines, often called “cytokine storm,” that then causes multi-organ failure and often death.
CytoSorb™ is a cartridge containing highly porous polymer beads designed to filter cytokines and treat potentially fatal cytokine storm. As blood is pumped repeatedly through the CytoSorb™ cartridge using standard dialysis equipment, the beads bind and remove cytokines and other toxins from blood. The treated blood is then returned to the patient.
CytoSorbents Corporation is currently conducting their European Sepsis Trial. This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial using CytoSorb™ to treat up to 100 patients with severe sepsis in the setting of respiratory failure. The Company, pending a successful trial, will seek CE Mark approval and commercialization of CytoSorb™ in the European Union.
