SeaStar Medical Reports DSMB Recommendation to Continue the NEUTRALIZE-AKI Pivotal Trial in Adult Acute Kidney Injury

SeaStar Medical Reports DSMB Recommendation to Continue the NEUTRALIZE-AKI Pivotal Trial in Adult Acute Kidney Injury




SeaStar Medical Reports DSMB Recommendation to Continue the NEUTRALIZE-AKI Pivotal Trial in Adult Acute Kidney Injury

Independent DSMB reports zero device-related safety issues
Supports potential clinical benefit
Trial sample size re-estimated to strengthen statistical power

DENVER, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: ICU), a commercial-stage healthcare company focused on transforming treatments for critically ill patients facing organ failure and potential loss of life, announced today that the independent Data Safety Monitoring Review Board (DSMB) has recommended the continuation of the NEUTRALIZE-AKI pivotal trial of the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) therapy in adult patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

The interim analysis by the independent DSMB evaluated the safety and potential clinical benefit of the first 100 patients enrolled in the NEUTRALIZE-AKI pivotal clinical trial. The DSMB reported:

  • No device-related safety concerns, with zero device-related adverse events. This is consistent with the previously published safety profile of the SCD therapy as well as the preliminary results from the QUELIMMUNE SAVE pediatric registry.
  • A signal of potential clinical benefit in the treatment group across key study outcome measures.

To ensure the study is adequately powered to validate the potential clinical efficacy signal, the DSMB recommended increasing the total enrollment from 200 to 339 patients, consistent with the trial’s statistical analysis plan. To date, 137 patients have been enrolled, representing significant progress toward this target. SeaStar Medical is taking proactive steps to accelerate enrollment to meet the new target. It estimates patient enrollment will be complete near the end of 2026, based on the current enrollment rate of clinical trial sites and the addition of several new sites in the NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial.

“We are encouraged by the DSMB’s recommendation, which reinforces the overall safety profile of our SCD therapy and suggests a potential clinical benefit, which we are observing in the commercial setting with QUELIMMUNE in the pediatric population” said Kevin Chung, MD, Chief Medical Officer of SeaStar Medical. “Sample size re-estimations are well established practices in pivotal trials, and while an upward re-estimation will extend the trial timeline, we are optimistic it will strengthen the statistical power and provide critical care teams with greater confidence in the results.”

“Patients continue to face a high risk of death or long-term organ failure due to lack of a disease-modifying therapy, despite availability of CRRT for severe AKI,” said Eric Schlorff, CEO of SeaStar Medical. “The DSMB’s recommendation reinforces our confidence in advancing the NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial and our mission to deliver a first-in-class therapy that can change outcomes for these critically ill patients.”

Mr. Schlorff added, “We intend to continue to drive shareholder value through successful execution of our QUELIMMUNE commercial efforts and the completion of the NEUTRALIZE-AKI trial and the potential filing and approval of the SCD therapy in adult AKI. We have been prudently managing our financial resources and will continue to monitor our options to secure future sources of capital, as needed, to support the achievement of our future milestones.”

The NEUTRALIZE-AKI (NEUTRophil and monocyte deActivation via SeLective Cytopheretic Device – a randomIZEd clinical trial in Acute Kidney Injury) is an event driven study. The trial’s primary endpoint is a composite of 90-day mortality or dialysis dependency of patients treated with the SCD therapy 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 the SCD therapy in AKI patients with sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

SeaStar Medical’s SCD therapy has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in life-threatening AKI due to sepsis or a septic condition in critically ill pediatric patients. It was approved in 2024 and is sold under the brand name QUELIMMUNE™. It has been adopted by nationally-recognized children’s medical centers throughout the United States. SeaStar Medical recently announced positive preliminary results from the SAVE Surveillance Registry which is assessing the use of the QUELIMMUNE therapy in the commercial setting. Based on the data collected from the first 20 pediatric patients in the SAVE Surveillance Registry, there were no device related safety events with the QUELIMMUNE therapy and 75% of patients survived through 28 days. These data are on track to validate or potentially exceed a 50% reduction in loss of life compared to historical data, as reported in Kidney Medicine.

About Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Hyperinflammation

AKI is characterized by a sudden and temporary loss of kidney function and can be caused by a variety of conditions such as sepsis, severe trauma, surgery, and COVID-19. AKI can cause destructive hyperinflammation, which is the overproduction or overactivity of inflammatory effector cells and other molecules that can be toxic. Damage resulting from this destructive hyperinflammation in AKI can progress to other organs, such as the heart or liver, and potentially to multi-organ dysfunction or even failure that could result in worse outcomes, including increased risk of death. Even after resolution, these patients may face complications including chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis. Extreme hyperinflammation may also contribute to added healthcare costs, such as prolonged ICU stays and increased reliance on dialysis and mechanical ventilation.

About the SeaStar Medical Selective Cytopheretic Device Therapy

The SCD therapy is designed as a disease-modifying device that neutralizes over-active immune cells and stops the cytokine storm that yields destructive hyperinflammation and creates a cascade of events that wreak havoc in the patient’s body. The SCD therapy is designed for broad applications in multiple acute and chronic kidney and cardiovascular diseases, representing patients who today have no FDA-approved options for treating their disease. Unlike pathogen removal and other blood-purification tools, the SCD therapy is integrated with an existing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) hemofiltration system to selectively target and transition proinflammatory monocytes to a reparative state and promote activated neutrophils to be less inflammatory. This unique immunomodulation approach may promote long-term organ recovery, eliminate the need for future CRRT, including dialysis, and prevent loss of life.  

About SeaStar Medical

SeaStar Medical is a commercial-stage healthcare company focused on transforming treatments for critically ill patients facing organ failure and potential loss of life. The QUELIMMUNE (SCD-PED) therapy is SeaStar Medical’s first commercial product based on its patented Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) technology. It was approved in 2024 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). QUELIMMUNE is the only FDA approved product for the ultra-rare condition of life-threatening acute kidney injury (AKI) due to sepsis or a septic condition in critically ill pediatric patients. SeaStar’s Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) therapy has been awarded Breakthrough Device Designation for six therapeutic indications by the FDA, enabling the potential for a speedier pathway to approval and preferable reimbursement dynamics at commercial launch. The company is currently conducting a pivotal trial of its SCD therapy in adult patients with AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a life-threatening condition with no effective treatment options that impacts over 200,000 adults in the US annually.

Forward-Looking Statements 

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, SeaStar Medical’s expectations with respect to anticipated patient benefits from our products including the reduction in loss of life; the potential results of the Save Surveillance Registry study; the expected regulatory approval process and timeline for our products; and the ability of SeaStar Medical to meet the expected timeline.

“As opioid poisonings remain a leading cause of death for Americans, and also a public health crisis in Canada and around the world, it is clear our work is not done,” said Joe Papa, president and CEO of Emergent. “The reality is these deaths are preventable if each of us does our part, and this begins with public awareness and action. We must work together – government, industry, communities, individuals – to eliminate the stigma around naloxone, educate people on where to get it and how to use it, and ensure widespread availability. I am proud of our team at Emergent for helping lead this fight and grateful to our partners across the U.S and Canada for their tireless efforts and advocacy. Even one opioid overdose death is too many.”

Opioid overdose fatalities in the workplace have risen in recent years.1 Recognizing the continued threat opioid poisonings present, several organizations are taking action, particularly across the business/workplace sector. Emergent has engaged with partners, including the National Safety Council (NSC)*, to educate and reach businesses. Alongside Amazon, Emergent received the Green Cross for Safety Advocate Award at the 2025 NSC Safety Congress Expo for its work to increase access to naloxone in workplaces, including job sites, brick and mortar stores, airlines, hospitality venues and other locations, where emergency response tools such as AED kits are commonplace.

Last week, the National Retail Federation released survey results that show workers in retail settings are very aware of the need for greater access to naloxone, with nearly half (45 percent) saying they have administered or seen naloxone administered themselves. Their bosses recognize the importance of the issue, as well, but remain cautious without broader Good Samaritan protections – a policy Emergent has long supported and will continue to advocate for.

In the same vein, the Penington Institute will develop and publish an International Overdose Awareness Day Global Workplace Engagement Toolkit sponsored by Emergent that is designed to help employers and employees undertake overdose awareness activities and education sessions at work. This new resource will help employees and businesses to start conversations about overdose risks and prevention strategies in their workplaces.

While opioid emergency preparedness is an important component of workplace safety, opioid poisonings can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. That is why Emergent is also supporting the SOAR West Virginia Save a Life Day efforts on September 25, 2025, as well as Truth Pharm’s National Trail of Truth event in Washington, D.C. on September 27, 2025, which will serve as a moment of remembrance for families affected by opioid poisoning and a call to action asking government, private industry and public organizations to band together to end this deadly epidemic.

In 2023, NARCAN® Nasal Spray was the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter opioid overdose reversal treatment, marking a significant milestone in making this critical intervention more readily available to the general public. Earlier this year, Emergent gained exclusive commercial rights to distribute KLOXXADO® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 8 mg, a prescription option for those who choose to administer a higher dose of naloxone. As such, Emergent is the leading U.S. supplier of nasal naloxone and offers an expanded range of products to support public interest groups, workplaces/businesses, as well as patients, consumers and healthcare providers.

Unity Consortium Announces Bold Commitment to Empower Teen Vaccine Ambassadors at Clinton Global Initiative Meeting

Unity Consortium Announces Bold Commitment to Empower Teen Vaccine Ambassadors at Clinton Global Initiative Meeting




Unity Consortium Announces Bold Commitment to Empower Teen Vaccine Ambassadors at Clinton Global Initiative Meeting

Launch of Trusted Teen CommUNITY Program to Reach 12 Million Annually

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unity Consortium today announced the launch of its new Trusted Teen CommUNITY program. This ambitious initiative seeks to educate and mobilize 10,000 Teen CommUNITY Leaders (TCLs) across the country to serve as trusted health ambassadors—sharing lifesaving, science-based health and vaccine information within their communities. The announcement was made as a Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment to Action at the CGI Annual Meeting in New York. Unity Consortium’s engagement at CGI underscores its unwavering dedication to stopping preventable diseases and building healthier, more resilient communities through youth empowerment and trusted communication.

Responding to Urgent Teen Health Challenges

As adolescents get older, preventive health drops significantly. Many factors contribute to this decline – including being uninsured or underinsured, lack of access to healthcare providers, and difficulty finding reliable vaccine information – all of which lead to lower vaccine rates and leave many teens unprotected. Preventive health visits are an important chance for young people to discuss healthy living behaviors, including vaccination. Less than 70% of adolescents receive annual preventive health visits—well below the Healthy People 2030 target of 83%—and rates are even lower among uninsured or underinsured youth, certain racial and ethnic groups, and youth living in areas with limited access to healthcare.

Only 6 in 10 teens are up to date on the HPV vaccine, and just 18% have completed all recommended meningococcal vaccinations. The HPV vaccine protects against persistent infections that can cause over 90% of cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and anal cancers. Meningococcal disease, though rare, is highly infectious and can result in deadly brain, spinal cord, and bloodstream infections. Without preventive care and vaccination, adolescents face increased risk from diseases that can be stopped before adulthood.

About the Trusted Teen CommUNITY initiative

With inaccurate information spreading and vaccine hesitancy on the rise, credible, science-based education is more critical than ever. The Trusted Teen CommUNITY Initiative gives young leaders the knowledge, resources, and support to share trustworthy, science-based information where it’s needed most. Research shows Americans rely most on their healthcare professionals, family, and close friends for trusted advice. Joined by valued partner Voices for Vaccines, Unity members are joining together to establish a dedicated network of teen leaders who, alongside supportive adult mentors, reclaim the public narrative about their health and the value of vaccines.

The 10,000 Teen CommUNITY Leaders will collectively reach 12 million people each year—bridging divides and sharing information that is meaningful to them and their community.

“We believe in the power of young people to be catalysts for change in their communities. Through the Trusted Teen CommUNITY program, we’re investing in teen leadership and a healthier future for all,” said Judy Klein, President of Unity Consortium. “Our commitment to CGI empowers teens to lead with science, compassion, and courage—building confidence in vaccines where it’s needed most.”

About the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)

Founded by President Bill Clinton in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative is a community of doers representing a broad cross section of society and dedicated to the idea that we can accomplish more together than we can apart. Through CGI’s unique model, more than 10,000 organizations have launched more than 4,000 Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable projects and programs – that are making a difference in the lives of more than 500 million people in 180 countries.

About Unity Consortium

Unity Consortium is a non-profit organization that brings together diverse stakeholders from both public and private sectors with a common goal of protecting adolescents and young adults from vaccine-preventable diseases to support lifelong health. As the first organization of its kind, Unity convenes immunization experts, public health leaders, healthcare professionals, researchers, advocacy groups, and industry partners to share insights, promote evidence-based collaboration, and shape national strategies for adolescent and young adult immunization. We are action-focused, youth-informed, and committed to making adolescent immunization a top priority.

H1 2025 results

Activity and profitability

  • H1 revenue: €387.8 million, down 5.4% at CER1 and on a like-for-like basis2, mainly due to the decline in activity in France
  • Restated EBITDA margin3 came out at 12.9%, compared with 15.4% a year earlier

2025 financial targets

  • Revenue: slight decrease of approximately 1% at CER and on a like-for-like basis
  • Restated EBITDA margin: between 12% and 13% of revenue
  • Free cash flow: slightly negative

Villepinte, September 24, 2025, 5.45 p.m.: Guerbet (FR0000032526 GBT), a global specialist in contrast agents and solutions for medical imaging, is publishing its consolidated financial statements for the first half of the current year.

Group sales for the period amounted to €387.8 million, down 7.5% compared with the first half of 2024. At constant exchange rates (CER)1, revenue fell 5.6% on a consolidated basis and 5.4% on a like-for-like basis2, with the latter declining less in the second quarter of 2025 (-3.9%) than in the first quarter (-7.1%).

The decline in activity in first-half 2025 mainly stemmed from the contraction in sales in France, as a result of the supply reform implemented on March 1, 2024, which required the Group to adapt its manufacturing chains to the new product mix (the shift from single doses to large bottles). In addition, the Group’s mid-year performance suffered from a demanding basis of comparison, with 11.8% CER growth in first-half 2024.

By geographic region, the revenue of the EMEA region amounted to €169.6 million in the first half of 2025, down 7.7% at CER and like-for-like. Excluding France, revenue grew 6.9% at CER and like-for-like, driven by the increase in volumes.

Sales in the Americas region were stable at CER and like-for-like (-0.3%), reflecting solid volume growth combined with price pressures resulting from the increased weight of distributors in the customer mix.

In Asia, sales came to €98.6 million in the first half of the year, down 7.3% at CER and like-for-like, but the second quarter trended positively, up 1.2%. Performance was impacted by a significant delay in orders.

By business activity, Diagnostic Imaging revenue stood at €334 million at mid-year, down 6.8% at CER and like-for-like.

  • The sales of the IRM division (-1.5% at CER and like-for-like) factor in pressure on Dotarem® prices as well as a solid increase in volumes.
  • The decline in X-ray division revenue (-9.7% at CER and like-for-like) primarily resulted from activity in France and South Korea, together with an unfavorable base effect in Latin America.

Interventional Imaging sales totaled €51.9 million in the first half of the year, up 4.6% at CER and like-for-like. They continue to benefit from solid momentum in Lipiodol® (volumes and prices), particularly in vascular embolization.

Net income (loss) 10.0 1.3
As a % of revenue 2.4% 0.3%
Net debt 364.9 353.3

* EBITDA = Operating income + net depreciation, amortization and provisions.

The decline in activity and pricing pressures affected profitability over the period, despite tight control of operating costs, in terms of procurement (-6.5%), personnel expenses (-0.5%) and external expenses (-6.1%). EBITDA margin came out at 11.9% in the first half of 2025, compared with 14.6% previously. Restated for exceptional costs related to the optimization of the operational framework and changes in the sales model, the EBITDA margin was 12.9% in first-half 2025.

After depreciation, amortization and provisions totaling €31.1 million (versus €30.7 million a year earlier), operating income was €15.0 million at June 30, 2025.

The Group posted net income of €1.3 million over the period, after accounting for financial expenses, which were down (-11.4%) to €9.9 million, as well as foreign exchange losses for a total of €2.4 million.

Free cash flow negative but improving compared with last year

On the balance sheet, shareholders’ equity stood at €376 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €394 million at end-2024, while net debt stood at €353.3 million (vs. €364.9 million a year ago). Over one year, gearing (net debt/equity ratio) was stable at 0.94.

At mid-year, free cash flow (FCF) was negative (-€8.4 million) but showed a clear improvement compared with first-half 2024 (-€29.1 million). This trend mainly reflects the significant improvement in the working capital requirement.

2025 outlook: adjustment of full-year financial targets

On September 15, Guerbet announced a downward revision of its full-year 2025 financial targets.

The contraction in business activity in France, which continues to be disrupted by supply reform, ongoing pricing pressure, and the unfavorable shift in the customer mix in the United States, with distributors accounting for a higher proportion of sales, as well as a technical issue (now resolved) when restarting operations at the Raleigh site following routine maintenance, are weighing on the Group’s growth and profitability in the current year.

As a result, Guerbet’s management has revised its guidance for full-year 2025 as follows:

  • A slight decline in revenue of approximately 1% at constant exchange rates and on a like-for-like basis, compared with growth of between 3% and 5% as previously announced,
  • Restated EBITDA margin on revenue of between 12% and 13%, compared with “above 15%” as previously announced,
  • Slightly negative free cash flow, compared with the previously announced “positive” level.

Measures have already been taken to safeguard product availability, strengthen sales discipline and optimize the cost base, while strictly monitoring cash generation.

The management is reaffirming its confidence in the Group’s prospects, underpinned by a diversified product portfolio and leading positions in buoyant international markets. The continued ramp-up of EluciremTM and accelerated momentum for Lipiodol® in Interventional Imaging are expected to support a return to growth.

“The results for the first half of 2025 are well below our expectations. To address this situation, we need to act quickly with rigor and determination by focusing all our employees on the following priorities: the recovery of sales in our long-standing businesses; the acceleration of the development of interventional imaging, which continues to trend positively; the rigorous management of our margins and operating costs; and, lastly, the generation of cash necessary to ensure our financial solidity. Jérôme Estampes, appointed Chief Executive Officer of a group that he knows well, has the experience and determination necessary to lead this turnaround in the short term with discipline and method,” said Hugues Lecat, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Guerbet.

Paris, September 24, 2025 – 5:40 p.m. – Eurobio Scientific (FR0013240934, ALERS, eligible for PEA-PME), a leading French group in in vitro medical diagnostics and life sciences, today presents its consolidated results as of June 30, 2025, prepared in accordance with French standards and approved by the company’s Board of Directors at its meeting on September 23, 2025.

Eurobio Scientific’s results as of June 30, 2025 show growth in activity, an improvement in gross margin linked to the increase in proprietary products, and a decline in EBITDA linked to pressure on distribution margins and transfer costs for EndoPredict®/Prolaris® production from Germany to France in the second quarter of 2025 (approximately €0.8 million).

Growth driven by recent acquisitions and increase in share of proprietary products

Eurobio Scientific posted revenue of €81.2 million in the first half of 2025, compared with €73.5 million in the first half of 2024, representing an increase of €7.7 million (+10.4%). On a comparable basis, i.e. excluding the impact of acquisitions, growth was €4.5 million (+6.1%).

The scope effects are detailed as follows: the inclusion of the EndoPredict® and Prolaris® businesses acquired on August 1, 2024, in the first half of 2025 for €2.7 million, and the acquisition of Quimark, also a distributor of EndoPredict® and Prolaris® in Italy, on March 1, 2025, for €0.5 million.

On a comparable basis, the €4.5 million increase in activity is mainly due to growth in France (+€5.1 million), driven by certain non-recurring factors such as the Chikungunya and Dengue epidemics in overseas territories and the extension for several months of certain tenders in Transplantation, which are maintaining business volumes in this segment for the One Lambda product range. GenDx HLA typing activity remained stable in the first half of 2025 at around €15.6 million. The activities of certain European subsidiaries experienced a slight decline following the discontinuation of the Technoclone distribution ranges in the United Kingdom (-€0.9 million) and T2 Biosystem in Italy (-€1 million).

The share of proprietary products increased from 29% of revenue in the first half of 2024 to 36% in the first half of 2025 due to the inorganic growth policy, but also to the loss of the distribution ranges mentioned above. It amounted to €29.1 million in the first half of 2025 (36% of revenue) compared to €21.2 million (29% of revenue) in the first half of 2024.

Operating income impacted by reorganization costs

The gross margin was 47.4%, up slightly from the first half of 2024 (45.6%) due to the growth in the share of proprietary products in the total revenue mix. Price and margin pressures remain strong for the Distribution business, particularly in the French market.
  
Research and development expenses were stable compared to 2024. The decrease is due to the implementation of more accurate analytical monitoring of the Transplantation business since the beginning of 2025. Marketing and sales expenses increased by €6.1 million, of which €3.5 million was related to the strengthening of the sales and marketing teams at the group and subsidiary levels and €2.6 million was related to scope effects. General and administrative expenses remained stable but included approximately €0.8 million in expenses related to the closure of the production site and the transfer of the EndoPredict® and Prolaris® product lines to France during the first half of 2025.

As a result, EBITDA reached €13.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €13.9 million at June 30, 2024. Operating income amounted to €10.3 million, compared with €11.2 million at June 30, 2024, excluding PPA amortization and PPA inventory write-backs.

Financial income was negative at -€2.1 million, mainly due to the servicing of financial debt to EB Development. Extraordinary income was zero due to changes in accounting standards.

Net income thus amounted to €2.4 million at June 30, 2025, compared with €4 million at June 30, 2024.

Free cash flow of €4.4 million

The Group generated a decline in free cash flow to €4.4 million during the first half of the year, mainly due to a change in working capital requirements, which had a negative impact of €5.7 million, and net investment flows of €1.4 million. The transfer of production of the EndoPredict® and Prolaris® ranges from Germany to France had a significant impact on inventories. In addition, the Group saw an increase in average payment terms in certain countries, such as France, for various public and private customers.

At the end of June 2025, Eurobio Scientific had cash and cash equivalents of €26.7 million, financial debt (excluding leases) of €11.3 million, and a current account from EB Development of €17.6 million, resulting in net debt of €2.2 million.

Outlook

Eurobio Scientific has a policy of not communicating its targets for the current financial year. In the medium term, the Eurobio Scientific Group will continue to pursue the strategic priorities it has developed over several years: the development of proprietary products, internationalization, and the opening of new markets. Over the next four years, the Group aims to increase the share of proprietary products to around 50% of its revenue.
