Nephros completes US end-stage renal disease trial

Nephros has completed the pivotal US clinical trial for its OLpur H2H module and OLpur MD220 filter for end-stage renal disease therapy.

Nephros is now in the process of preparing its submission to the FDA under section 510(k) of the Food, Drug And Cosmetics Act to obtain approval to sell its mid-dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) products in the US.

If timely approved, Nephros believes its products will be the first on-line HDF products available to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) clinics and patients in the US.

Norman Barta, CEO of Nephros, said: “We’re excited and pleased to have reached this important milestone. There is a broad range of literature supporting the advantages of HDF over dialysis for the ESRD patient, including studies supporting a substantial reduction in the relative risk of mortality.”
