Richard Benjamin Shares Results of The ReCePI Phase III Clinical Study

Richard Benjamin, Chief Medical Officer at Cerus Corporation, shared on LinkedIn:

”The results of the ReCePI Phase III clinical study are now published.

A hearty congratulations to the many contributors and patients who have advanced the field of pathogen reduction for red blood cells (RBCs).

While transfusions are generally considered safe, they are always at risk for newly emerging infections (think historically of HIV, WNV, Zika, etc.) and for threats that are not covered by current testing (e.g., bacteria, malaria, etc.).

Technologies are FDA-approved to safeguard platelet and plasma transfusions, leaving an obvious gap with the most commonly transfused RBC components.

This work is bringing RBC pathogen reduction to reality and would not have been possible without generous funding from BARDA, a US agency with true foresight to protect patients against future and current threats to transfusion safety.”
