New York, June 27, 2013. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration or FDA has accepted Biomedica's Investigational New Drug or IND application for ClotFoam, a novel hemostat for intraoperative hemorrhage. The company is developing ClotFoam as the leading agent of a portfolio of hemostatic products based on its proprietary "CLOT" technology. The company will now conduct clinical trials supported by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
ClotFoam was originally conceived to control severe hemorrhage without need of compression in order to address unmet needs in gynecology, combat trauma and emergency medicine, as well as treatment of trauma in the operating room. Current trials are designed to prove the safety and efficacy of the product as an adjunct in solid organ hemorrhage. Once the agent is approved for this indication, the company will conduct additional trials as a primary treatment in trauma patients.
