CorMedix Inc. (CRMD) a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, renal and infectious diseases, recently declared a presentation on Neutrolin® post marketing surveillance data at the 52nd European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Congress. The Neutrolin Usage Monitoring Program is a post-approval surveillance program monitoring the routine use of Neutrolin, a novel catheter lock solution, in hemodialysis patients with tunneled central venous catheters (CVC). The program measures the number of catheter related blood stream infections (CRBSI), and the number of pre-mature CVC removals due to infection and/ or thrombosis. The secondary outcome measure was biofilm formation in CVCs. Other outcome measures comprised of economic effects derived from using Neutrolin and effectiveness in the high risk groups (e.g. diabetic patients).

The poster, titled Neutrolin, A Catheter Lock Solution (CLS) with No Stated Human Resistance, Significantly Reduces the Rates of Infection and Thrombosis in Hemodialysis Patients Enrolled in a Post-Approval Surveillance Study, was presented on May 30, 2015. In 120 patients, the results to-date comprise three infections and two thromboses in 21,151 hemodialysis catheter-days. The Neutrolin Usage Monitoring Program results can be calculated as 0.14 infections per 1,000 catheter days (as compared to benchmark of 3.5 per 1,000 catheter days), a 96% reduction in infection rate, and 0.09 thrombosis per 1,000 catheter days (as compared to benchmark 2-3 per 1,000 catheter days), a 96% reduction in the rate of thrombosis.

CorMedix Inc., a pharmaceutical company, intends to in-license, develop, and commercialize therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, renal, and infectious diseases.

Analysts believe that the company’s shares appear fairly valued given profitability and dividend yield and credit metrics are relatively in-line with peers.

However, risks comprise sustained low interest rates, which limits earning asset growth and inability to control increasing regulatory and compliance costs. Additionally, regional economic growth is predictable to remain in the low-single digits, according to the analyst note.
