About Haemacure Corporation
Haemacure Corporation is a specialty bio-therapeutics company developing high-value human therapeutic proteins for commercialization. Haemacure's research and development effort is driven by its proprietary plasma protein extraction technology to develop next-generation products, including surgical haemostats. Haemacure's lead product candidate, Hemaseel(R)HMN, is a human-derived fibrin sealant planned to enter pivotal Phase II/Phase III clinical trials during the first quarter of 2009. Haemacure's second product candidate is human thrombin, a component of its fibrin sealant, now in preclinical stage. Both candidates have applications in the expanding bio-surgical market. Follow-on development will focus on surgical haemostats, wound management, drug delivery, regenerative medicine, adhesion prevention and combination with biomaterials. Haemacure has discovered eleven additional specialty proteins and enzymes in one of its two plasma fractions and seeks to advance these specialty proteins and enzymes through partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
