An endogenous cofactor that increases the rate of coagulation
- Our proprietary science enables us to tackle the problem of hemorrhage in a novel way by leveraging a type of polymer (polyphosphate) that is stored in human platelets and already is part of the natural healing process.
- We have developed CAY001, an optimized formulation of polyphosphate, that is designed to fast-forward the body’s healing in response to injury. By modulating the kinetics of the clotting response, CAY001 specifically increases the rate of activation of specific coagulation factors and accelerates the body’s innate ability to achieve hemostatic control.
- This results in faster clotting, less blood loss, and better outcomes.
- The activity of polyphosphate can be modified to address specific clinical needs, allowing for broad potential of this promising polymer across the healing continuum to address a variety of unmet needs.
