Addressed with Approved Drugs
SAN DIEGO, CA, December 1, 2020 / -(Investorideas.com newswire) Breaking Medical Tech/ therapeutic technology stock news -- Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCMarkets: SIGY), a medical technology company focused on treating life-threatening inflammatory conditions, today announced the completion of an in vitro study that demonstrated the ability of Sigyn Therapy™ to clear both endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines from human blood plasma.

Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification
technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome, which precipitates a
wide-range of life-threatening conditions, including sepsis, the most common
cause of hospital deaths. Virus induced
cytokine storm syndrome is associated with high mortality and currently is a
leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Sigyn Therapy is a single-use device designed
for use on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines located
in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In the in vitro
study, Sigyn Therapy simultaneously reduced the presence of endotoxin and
relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, which included Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1B),
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a). Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide
or LPS) is a potent mediator implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis and
septic shock. The dysregulated over-production
of IL-1B, IL-6 and TNF-a can lead to organ failure and cause death.
An objective of
the study was to rebalance elevated cytokine levels and optimize the
elimination of endotoxin from human blood plasma. The study was conducted in
triplicate over four-hour time periods with a pediatric version of Sigyn
Therapy. Average reduction of endotoxin
load peaked at 83% during the studies. The average reduction of IL-1B was 69%,
IL-6 reduction was 59% and TNF-a reduction was 57% during the four-hour
studies. The resulting data will be
incorporated into an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that Sigyn plans to
submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021.
“The simultaneous clearance
of endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines is a significant milestone that reinforces
the potential of Sigyn Therapy to overcome the limitations of industry
pioneering devices that are currently deployed to treat life-threatening
inflammatory conditions,” stated Jim Joyce, Chairman and CEO of Sigyn
Therapeutics.
At present, the
CytoSorb device from CytoSorbents Corporation and the Toraymyxin device from
Toray Industries are market cleared and broadly administered to treat a
wide-range of life-threatening inflammatory conditions outside of the United
States. In regards to mechanism, the Toraymyxin device has a high specificity
to bind circulating endotoxin, but does not address inflammatory cytokines.
Conversely, the CytoSorb device depletes inflammatory cytokines from
circulation, but does not address endotoxin.
In addition to reporting
the dual clearance of endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines, the Company further
disclosed that it plans to evaluate the ability of Sigyn Therapy to address
other inflammatory targets, including CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory
cytokine cargos throughout the bloodstream. The Company believes that Sigyn Therapy is the
first therapeutic candidate to target circulating CytoVesicles.
About
Sigyn Therapeutics
Sigyn Therapeutics™ is a development-stage
therapeutic technology company headquartered in San Diego, California USA. Our
focus is directed toward a significant unmet need in global health; the
treatment of life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine
Storm Syndrome and not addressed with an approved therapy. Our mission is to
save lives.
Sigyn Therapy™ is a novel blood purification
technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome through the
broad-spectrum depletion of inflammatory targets from the bloodstream. Cytokine
storm syndrome is the hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of
in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer
combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality
and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic
opportunities include, but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm
(BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver
failure, such as hepatic encephalopathy.
