DENVER, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: ICU) (“SeaStar Medical” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company developing proprietary solutions to reduce the consequences of hyperinflammation on vital organs, reports financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and provides a business update.
“We are delighted to report market demand and our first commercial sales of QUELIMMUNE™, our pediatric SCD that was cleared for sale by FDA in February 2024,” said Eric Schlorff, SeaStar Medical CEO. "During the third quarter, we recognized
“Beginning in the fourth quarter, we are able to recognize
“The adult AKI patient population is 50 times larger than the pediatric population, and our NEUTRALIZE-AKI pivotal trial is gaining momentum with 59 subjects now enrolled. This includes a record enrollment month in October, moving us closer to the interim data review we anticipate at 100 subjects. Three new medical centers have joined this trial in the fourth quarter, increasing the number of clinical sites to 12 and underscoring our confidence the pace of enrollment will accelerate,” he added. “We continue to explore the potential of our technology in multiple, high-value indications beyond AKI. To this end, we received notice last week from the FDA of Breakthrough Device Designation for the SCD in chronic dialysis. This is the fourth indication to receive this designation and the first for a chronic disease.”
“I’m pleased to report the elimination of more than
SeaStar Medical provides the following updates on its commercial and development programs, and corporate activities:
QUELIMMUNE and Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury
Only about half of the patients in the pediatric ICU with AKI who require renal replacement therapy (RRT) survive, and those who do are at elevated risk of long-term, life-threatening conditions such as chronic kidney disease. Pooled analyses from two non-controlled studies, one of which was funded by the FDA Office of Orphan Products Development, showed that children weighing 10 kilograms or more with AKI requiring continuous RRT (CRRT) who were treated with QUELIMMUNE (Selective Cytopheretic Device or SCD-Pediatric) had a
In February 2024 we received our first U.S. regulatory approval for the QUELIMMUNE device, the SCD specifically for children with AKI and sepsis or septic condition weighing 10 kilograms or more who are being treated in the ICU with RRT. QUELIMMUNE was approved under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) application, having met the applicable criteria with clinical results showing safety and probable clinical benefit to critically ill children with AKI who have few treatment options. The U.S. addressable population of about 4,000 pediatric patients falls within the 8,000-patient HDE criteria.
We are working with hospitals to commercialize QUELIMMUNE under Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) requirements. Pediatric patients undergoing treatment with this therapy are expected to require, on average, five to seven QUELIMMUNE units, with the disposable portion of the unit being changed once every 24 hours.
- In July 2024 we announced the first commercial sale of QUELIMMUNE to our previous U.S. distribution partner, following the finalization of FDA labeling requirements earlier in the month.
- In July 2024 we reported that the first patient had been treated with QUELIMMUNE in a commercial setting, which allowed us to meet the August 20, 2024 FDA deadline to begin patient treatments as designated in the FDA’s approval of QUELIMMUNE.
- In October 2024 we assumed all responsibility for direct sales, marketing and distribution of QUELIMMUNE to hospital customers, allowing us to recognize
100% of revenue generated from commercial QUELIMMUNE sales. - In October 2024 we introduced an analysis of economic data supporting a projected cost savings of approximately
$30,000 per hospitalization for critically ill pediatric patients with AKI on CRRT treated with QUELIMMUNE versus standard of care. The cost savings is principally driven by the lower expected death rate and shorter length of hospital stay. The analysis was introduced at ASN Kidney Week 2024, the premier nephrology conference. - In October 2024 we shipped QUELIMMUNE to a second commercial hospital customer.
Adult Acute Kidney Injury
We are conducting the pivotal NEUTRALIZE-AKI (NEUTRophil and Monocyte DeActivation via SeLective CytopheretIc Device - a RandomiZEd Clinical Trial in Acute Kidney Injury) clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SCD in adults with AKI in the ICU receiving CRRT. The SCD-ADULT device has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for this indication, which is awarded to a therapy to treat a serious or life-threatening condition with preliminary clinical evidence indicating it may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapies on clinically significant endpoints.
The NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial is expected to enroll up to 200 patients at up to 30 U.S. medical centers. The trial’s primary endpoint is a composite of 90-day mortality or dialysis dependency of patients treated with the SCD-ADULT in addition to CRRT as the standard of care, compared with the control group receiving only CRRT standard of care. Secondary endpoints include mortality at 28 days, ICU-free days in the first 28 days, major adverse kidney events at Day 90 and dialysis dependency at one year. The study will also include subgroup analyses to explore the effectiveness of SCD-ADULT therapy in AKI patients with sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
- In July 2024 the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted Category B coverage for certain expenses incurred by medical centers treating Medicare or Medicaid patients enrolled in the adult AKI trial.
- We expect to receive U.S. regulatory approval for the SCD for adults with AKI under a Premarket Approval (PMA) application and to begin the commercial product launch in 2026.
Additional SCD Indications
We continue to explore the application of our SCD technology across a range of indications involving dysregulated immune processes where proinflammatory activated neutrophils and monocytes may contribute to disease progression or severity, in both acute and chronic indications. The SCD has shown a measurable reduction in excessive inflammatory responses such as the reduction of solid organ dysfunction in a variety of preclinical and clinical studies, including sepsis, acute kidney injury, hepatorenal syndrome, cardiorenal syndrome, ischemia/reperfusion injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, cardiopulmonary bypass, chronic kidney disease, chronic dialysis, type 2 diabetes, acute respiratory distress syndrome and COVID-19, among others.
- In November 2024 we received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the SCD for use in chronic dialysis, our first such designation for a chronic indication. This is our fourth FDA award of Breakthrough Device Designation including adult AKI, cardiorenal syndrome and hepatorenal syndrome.
Scientific Presentations
In October 2024 the SCD was featured in four poster presentations at ASN Kidney Week 2024, including the following:
- Economic data indicating the QUELIMMUNE substantially lowers hospitalization costs for critically ill pediatric patients with AKI treated with CRRT.
- New data further explaining mechanistically how the SCD addresses hyperinflammation and helps restore immune balance in these critically ill AKI patients.
Corporate Developments
- In July 2024 we completed a registered direct offering priced at-the-market, raising gross proceeds of
$10 million . - In September we eliminated all long-term debt, which was reported at more than
$9 million at the end of 2023. - Since August 20, 2024, and through November 10, 2024, we raised approximately
$1.8 million , net of fees, by issuing approximately 569 thousand shares our common stock.

About the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD)
The SCD is a patented cell-directed extracorporeal device that employs immunomodulating technology to selectively target proinflammatory neutrophils and monocytes during CRRT and reduces the hyperinflammatory milieu including the cytokine storm that causes inflammation, organ failure and possible death in critically ill patients. Unlike pathogen removal and other blood-purification tools, the device is integrated with RRT hemofiltration systems to selectively target and transition proinflammatory monocytes to a reparative state and promote activated neutrophils to be less inflammatory. The SCD selectively targets the most highly activated proinflammatory neutrophils and monocytes. These cells are then returned back into the body through the blood, and the body is signaled to lower its inflammatory environment and focus on repair. This unique immunomodulation approach may promote long-term organ recovery and eliminate the need for future RRT, including dialysis.
About SeaStar Medical
