"The use of a specific diagnostic test, the EAA(TM), to identify endotoxin, a substance that is known to be harmful to the body, and proceed to remove it with the Toraymyxin(TM) column makes this study unique in the history of sepsis clinical trials," said Dr. R. Phillip Dellinger, Professor of Medicine, University Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey, Head, Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Cooper University Hospital, Camden New Jersey and primary investigator for the study. Cooper University Hospital will also be the coordinating center for the clinical trial.

"BioMS is very pleased to support Spectral and its management team in the development of Toraymyxin(TM) in the US. This once again positions BioMS with a unique opportunity that addresses a significant unmet medical need and has blockbuster potential," said Kevin Giese, President and CEO of BioMS Medical. "In addition, this relationship highlights the value of our experienced team, which will play a key role in helping Spectral to advance Toraymyxin(TM) from a clinical, regulatory and commercial perspective."
