Sigyn CEO Note: First-In-Industry Attributes of CardioDialysisTM to Treat Cardiovascular Disease

Dear Readers, 

Kidney dialysis sustains and extends the lives of approximately four million individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We are advancing CardioDialysisTM to extend the lives of individuals with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. 

A primary objective of cardiovascular disease therapies is to reduce the incidence of heart attacks, strokes, and other Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE). LDL-C reducing statins (Lipitor, Crestor, and Zocor), the leading class of drugs to treat cardiovascular disease are associated with 25% reductions in MACE.

Whereas the American Heart Association (AHA) recently reported the use of blood purification to reduce LDL-C and Lipoprotein(a) levels (lipoprotein apheresis) is associated with 75% to 95% reductions in MACE.

When taking these factors into consideration, I want to highlight first-in-industry attributes of CardioDialysis that could expand the use of blood purification to treat cardiovascular disease and potentially allow for us to improve upon the MACE reductions reported by the American Heart Association. 

Overcoming a Major Barrier for Treatment Adoption 

As per the AHA report, blood purification to reduce circulating levels of LDL-C and Lipoprotein(a), otherwise known as lipoprotein apheresis, is an FDA-approved precedent proven to reduce MACE in those with cardiovascular disease.  However, the broad adoption of lipoprotein apheresis is constrained by delivery infrastructure, with treatments being limited to approximately 60 specialized apheresis centers in the United States.

CardioDialysis is not constrained by delivery infrastructure as it is deployed for use on dialysis machines already located at more than 7,500 kidney dialysis clinics in the U.S. alone.  Lipoprotein apheresis devices do not operate on dialysis machines.  

Broad-Spectrum Clearance of Cardiovascular Disease Targets

Invitro blood purification studies have validated the ability of CardioDialysis to address a broad-spectrum of therapeutic targets, including inflammatory molecules that contribute to cardiovascular disease progression, yet are not addressed with market-approved therapies.  To date, the clearance of twelve therapeutic targets (all below 200nm in diameter) from human blood plasma has been demonstrated. CardioDialysis has also been observed to be safe and well tolerated in porcine animal studies conducted at the University of Michigan. 

Early Clinical & Commercialization Opportunity in Dialysis Patients 

We have an early clinical and commercialization opportunity to treat cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients as CardioDialysis can be conveniently administered during regularly scheduled dialysis treatments.

The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) reports that cardiovascular disease accounts for 67% of ESRD patient deaths and its incidence is up to 20 times higher in ESRD patients as compared to the general population.  As recently reported in the Journal Nature, drugs to treat cardiovascular disease have not reduced cardiovascular events in dialysis patients. Additionally, circulating levels of cholesterol-transporting lipoprotein(a), which is not addressed with an approved drug, are 2-4 times higher in ESRD dialysis patients as compared to the general population.

Beyond high mortality rates, cardiovascular disease is a substantial initial market opportunity, given an estimated 550,000 ESRD patients receive ~85 million dialysis treatments in the U.S. each year.  

An Executable Clinical Strategy

Unless you have previously advanced an extracorporeal blood purification therapy through FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), you may not appreciate the elegance of our clinical strategy.  Historically, human clinical studies of devices to treat life-threatening disease conditions often face the daunting challenge to identify and enroll subjects in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU) setting.  

Whereas our clinical plan is to enroll ESRD patients to participate in a study conducted at their kidney dialysis clinic, with the administration of CardioDialysis occurring during their regularly scheduled dialysis treatments. This is an efficient yet executable clinical strategy that applies to both our human feasibility (safety) and pivotal efficacy study that will be required for market approval consideration. As a result, the time and cost to conduct our studies should be significantly reduced. 

Strategic Value to the Dialysis Industry 

When considering that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of ESRD deaths, a reduction in MACE would be expected to extend ESRD patient lives.  Based on average annual per-patient revenues of $65,000, top-line dialysis industry revenues could be increased by $2.8 billion for each month that the lives of U.S. dialysis patients are extended. CardioDialysis also introduces a potential pathway for the dialysis industry to treat cardiovascular disease in the general population, which is the commercial focus of lipoprotein apheresis.  In this regard, we envision the possibility that current “Kidney Dialysis Clinics” could be transformed into future “Renal and CardioDialysis Treatment Centers.”
