Products
Plasma-derived inter-alpha inhibitor protein therapeutic (development-stage)
A development-stage plasma protein replacement therapy intended to restore endogenous anti-inflammatory protein levels and modulate multiple inflammatory pathways in severe inflammatory diseases.
IAIP rapid bedside diagnostic (development-stage)
A handheld rapid test to measure circulating levels of an anti-inflammatory plasma protein to predict progression to severe inflammatory outcomes and guide treatment decisions at the bedside.
