Sigyn Therapeutics Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
SAN DIEGO, CA, Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: SIGY), a development-stage company focused on the creation of therapeutic solutions that address unmet needs in global health, today announces its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provides an update on recent corporate developments.
“We continue to take meaningful steps toward our goal to advance Sigyn Therapy into human clinical studies,” commented Jim Joyce, co-founder and CEO of Sigyn Therapeutics. “Of particular note was our successful completion of in vivo animal studies, which followed a series of in vitro studies that demonstrated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to isolate and extract pathogen sources of life-threatening inflammation in concert with the broad-spectrum depletion of proinflammatory cytokines from human blood plasma. The data from these studies is being incorporated into an Investigational Device Exemption that we are drafting for submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to support potential human studies of Sigyn Therapy in the United States.”
Sigyn Therapy is multi-function blood purification technology designed to treat life-threatening infections and inflammatory disorders that are not addressed with approved drugs. In vitro study validations of pathogen sources of life-threatening inflammation include endotoxin (a gram-negative bacterial toxin), peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid (gram-positive bacterial toxins), and viral pathogens, including COVID-19. In vitro study validations of inflammatory cytokines include interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a).
Based on these capabilities, the Company believes that Sigyn Therapy is a candidate to treat pathogen-associated sepsis (leading cause of hospital deaths), community acquired pneumonia (a leading cause of death among infectious diseases), emerging pandemic threats, and hyperinflammation & endotoxemia that commonly occurs in end-stage renal disease patients.
Recent 2022 Developments

About Sigyn Therapeutics™
Sigyn Therapeutics is a development-stage company focused on the creation of therapeutic solutions that address unmet needs in global health.
Sigyn Therapy™ is a broad-spectrum blood purification device that addresses life-threatening infections and inflammatory disorders for which effective drug therapies are not available. Sigyn Therapy extracts pathogen sources of life-threatening inflammation in concert with dampening down the dysregulated overproduction of inflammatory cytokines (the cytokine storm), which play a prominent role in each of our candidate treatment indications.
Based on Sigyn Therapy’s ability to isolate and extract viral pathogens, bacterial toxins, and inflammatory cytokines from the bloodstream, our candidate treatment opportunities include pathogen-associated sepsis (leading cause of hospital deaths), community acquired pneumonia (a leading cause of death among infectious diseases), emerging pandemic threats, and hyperinflammation & endotoxemia that commonly occurs in end-stage renal disease patients.
