Very positive RNS.
PeproStat is 100% owned by Ergomed and is a coagulant, designed to stem bleeding during surgery. The current phase IIb is recruiting patients who are undergoing liver/soft tissue surgery, vascular surgery or spine surgery. It's administered during surgery on a sponge applied directly to the site of the bleed. Of course the trial is randomised and double blinded so nobody yet knows the outcome, however, would have thought that given the immediate nature of the application, it would become apparent very quickly if there were issues and surgeons would be reluctant to enrol patients to the trial. Just my opinion of course but the fact that recruitment is ahead of schedule and results will be released early is encouraging.
