CRESSKILL, N.J., March 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vascular Therapies LLC, a clinical-stage biopharma company focused on improving vascular access outcomes in patients with kidney disease, today announced the closing of a $25 million private financing. The financing comprised of existing and new investors, including a Fortune 100 global healthcare company. Vascular Therapies plans to use the proceeds to further advance Sirogen™, a proprietary sirolimus formulation for intraoperative, local, perivascular drug delivery. In the company’s first Phase 3 clinical study (ACCESS), the primary end point was not achieved; however, a post-hoc subgroup analysis revealed significantly improved AV fistula maturation with therapeutic durability in end stage renal disease patients age 65 and older. Sriram Iyer, MD, Chief Scientific Officer of Vascular Therapies commented “the elderly population is one of the fastest growing segments of the hemodialysis population and have higher AV fistula failure rates. The ACCESS 2 clinical study is a 120-patient global randomized trial that aims to validate the encouraging post-hoc results of Sirogen™ in high-risk patients”. John McDermott, Chief Executive Officer of Vascular Therapies added “With this financing completed, we are now focused on initiating enrollment of the ACCESS 2 clinical study, which we expect to start in the second quarter of 2022. We’d like to thank our investors for their support and shared commitment to advancing Sirogen™ as a new therapy to potentially improve AV access outcomes in hemodialysis patients”.
