is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment
of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The Company is focused on developing its lead product Neutrolin , a novel, non-antibiotic
antimicrobial solution designed to prevent costly and dangerous bloodstream infections associated with the use of central venous
catheters. The Company recently completed a Phase 3 clinical trial of Neutrolin in patients undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage
renal disease, which showed a 71% reduction in catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) relative to the heparin control
arm (p=0.0006) with a good safety profile. CRBSIs cost the U.S. healthcare system approximately $6 billion annually and contribute
significantly to increased morbidity and mortality. Neutrolin has Fast Track designation from FDA, which provides the potential
for priority review of a marketing application, and Qualified Infectious Disease Product designation, which allows for 5 additional
years of marketing exclusivity when approved for commercial distribution by FDA. Neutrolin is CE Marked and commercially distributed
as a medical device in Europe and other territories. In parallel, CorMedix is leveraging its taurolidine technology to develop
a pipeline of antimicrobial medical devices, with active programs in surgical sutures and meshes, and topical hydrogels.
The company is also working with top-tier researchers to develop taurolidine-based therapies for rare pediatric cancers.
