CytoSorbents Highlights Activities at the 41st International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (ISICEM)
Importantly, new data from the CytoSorb Therapy in COVID-19 (CTC) Multicenter Registry will be presented on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 , in an abstract titled: Relationship of Lung Oxygenation to Timing of Hemoadsorption Therapy Initiation in COVID-19 Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Mechanical Oxygenation (ECMO): An Observational Analysis from the CytoSorb Therapy in COVID-19 (CTC) Registry. This new analysis on 56 critically ill COVID-19 patients on life support with ECMO and treated with CytoSorb under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) provides additional insights into the mechanisms underlying the high survival rates published in the journal, Frontiers in Medicine, last year.
The CTC Registry has now completed enrollment after reaching the milestone of 100 critically ill COVID-19 patients enrolled with refractory respiratory failure on both CytoSorb and ECMO. Top-line results from these 100 patients confirm the high survival rates reported previously on the first 52 patients, and are expected to be presented and published in detail later this year.
CytoSorbents will also hold an onsite educational symposium and virtual webinar entitled Hemoadsorption with CytoSorb as Part of an Individualized Therapy in Critically Ill Patients on Thursday, March 24, 2022 , from 12:30-1:30 PM CET in the Copper Hall.
Chair Prof. Manu Malbrain (Leuven, Belgium ) and Dr. Yatin Mehta (Chairman, Institute of Critical Care and Anesthesiology, India )
Speakers Dr. Axel Nierhaus (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany ) How to Balance Sepsis Campaign Guidelines and the Need for Patient Tailored Care?
Dr. Gabriella Bottari (Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital, Rome, Italy ) Use of CytoSorb in Different Pediatric Indications – an Overview
Prof. Dietmar Fries (Medical University Innsbruck, Austria ) Hemoadsorption in Severe Rhabdomyolysis and for Prevention of DOAC Associated Bleeding Complications
Dr. Phillip Chan , Chief Executive Officer of CytoSorbents stated, "We are pleased to be able to sponsor and actively participate in next week's ISICEM scientific meeting, one of the first major in-person medical conferences for us this year. It is a sign that business activities are starting to slowly return to normal. We are excited to be meeting with key opinion leaders, customers, and partners from the global medical community to communicate our progress, and to share our latest experiences and clinical data with them, using CytoSorb in a diverse set of critical care applications. We encourage attendees to visit our exhibit booth and attend our educational symposium on March 24, 2022 ."
About U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization CytoSorb received U.S. FDA EUA in April 2020 for use in adult, critically ill COVID-19 patients with confirmed or imminent respiratory failure and is indicated to reduce cytokines in these patients. It has neither been cleared nor approved for the indication to treat patients with COVID-19 infection. The CytoSorb device is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of the CytoSorb device under Section 564(b)(l) of the Act, 21 U.S.C § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
About the CTC Registry CytoSorbents launched the multicenter CTC Registry following the issuance of U.S. FDA Emergency Use Authorization for CytoSorb therapy in adult, critically ill COVID-19 patients with confirmed or imminent respiratory failure in April 2020. The registry was designed to capture high fidelity data on device utilization patterns and associated clinical outcomes from participating U.S. centers with a pre-specified primary endpoint of ICU mortality. The CTC Registry has now completed enrollment after reaching the milestone of 100 patients enrolled. For more information on the CTC Registry, please view study number NCT04391920 on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO) CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification. Its flagship product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union with distribution in more than 70 countries around the world as an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber designed to reduce the "cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" seen in common critical illnesses that may result in massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. These are conditions where the risk of death can be extremely high, yet few to no effective treatments exist. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. More than 162,000 cumulative CytoSorb devices have been utilized as of December 31 , 2021. CytoSorb was originally introduced into the European Union under CE-Mark as a first-in-kind cytokine adsorber. Additional CE-Mark label expansions were received for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and both ticagrelor and rivaroxaban during cardiothoracic surgery. CytoSorb has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure. The DrugSorb-ATR™ Antithrombotic Removal System, which is based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb, has also been granted FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of ticagrelor, as well as FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drugs, apixaban and rivaroxaban, in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Company has initiated two FDA approved pivotal trials designed to support U.S. marketing approval of DrugSorb-ATR. The first is the 120-patient, 20 center STAR-T (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Ticagrelor) randomized, controlled trial evaluating the ability of intraoperative DrugSorb-ATR use to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients on ticagrelor undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. The second is the 120-patient, 25 center STAR–D (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Direct Oral Anticoagulants) randomized, controlled trial, evaluating the intraoperative use of DrugSorb–ATR to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery on direct oral anticoagulants, including apixaban and rivaroxaban.
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 more than $39.5 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™, DrugSorb™-ATR, ContrastSorb, and others.

Shares of Clovis Oncology (NASDAQ: CLVS) jumped 80% this week, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Clovis' big move didn't come until Thursday, however, when the company announced positive data regarding its drug Rubraca (rucaparib). It was a big development for the company as its shares had fallen significantly from last year, when it was trading as high as $11 a share early in February.
Betting on turnarounds in companies that others are too scared to touch can be a successful strategy for some investors. Farsighted investors who recognize the enduring potential of a business -- even during its most vulnerable hours -- can sometimes (but of course, not always) get outsize returns if they're right. One biotech stock that could be ripe for exactly that kind of play is Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ: SAVA), which is down over 70% from its high in July of last year as a result of a parade of misfortunes.

The MORE act would decriminalize cannabis products at the federal level. The measure now heads to the Senate for consideration.
For the curious user or the interested conversationalist, below is a list of common and insider terms used in relation to cannabis.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday passed a bill to end the federal ban on marijuana, which has created legal headaches for users and businesses in the states that have legalized it, though the measure was seen as unlikely to pass the Senate. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, sponsored by Democratic Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, which is in the process of legalizing the drug, removes marijuana from the list of controlled substances and eliminates criminal penalties for individuals who grow, distribute or possess it. But the MORE act will need to gain 60 votes in the evenly divided Senate before moving to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature, an outcome widely seen as unlikely given the lack of Republican support for the measure.
