OBI president and chief financial officer Michael Jebsen said enrolment in the second cohort is a major milestone in Oxycyte’s development.
"We have spent the last year focused on securing long-term supply of clinical trial material and retaining a contract research organisation with the ability to effectively manage an international clinical trial," Jebsen said.
"Bringing Oxycyte to market as a treatment for acute ischemic conditions, such as TBI, remains the top priority of OBI."
The randomised, double-blind study administers oxycyte once intravenously to patients, along with supplemental oxygen.
