We think the precision medicine playbook that has worked in cancer can work in sepsis

Considering that not a single immunomodulatory therapy for sepsis has been successfully brought to market despite 40+ years of trials,1 a novel approach is needed.

A modern understanding of sepsis suggests that the sepsis syndrome may actually be composed of several subtypes of patients. Similar to how breast cancer is now properly defined as composed of different subtypes (e.g., ER/PR/HER2 status), a sepsis patient may someday be properly defined as suffering from overramped innate immunity, adaptive immune collapse, endothelial dysfunction, etc. And just like different breast cancer survival rates have improved as each subtype guides a specific treatment, so may sepsis outcomes improve when specific therapies are paired with individual subtypes.2 Our products are in development, are not for sale, and do not have marketing approval or clearance from regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction.

Endotypes helps differentiate patients

Our Endotypes program is at the forefront in sepsis therapy selection research

Inflammatix has been at the forefront of sepsis subtypes (or ‘endotypes’) research in transcriptomics, with a classifier that has been validated3,4 in research settings to produce subgroups with different outcomes. We are actively working to determine which therapies may show a difference in treatment effects among them.
