FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verseon is pleased to announce that the USPTO has issued a new patent, "Thrombin Inhibitors, Formulations, and Uses Thereof," that further extends intellectual property protection for Verseon's novel class of thrombin inhibitors. These anticoagulant compounds promise to open new and safer treatment options for many of the world's 400+ million cardiovascular disease patients.

Key Points: 
  • These anticoagulant compounds promise to open new and safer treatment options for many of the world's 400+ million cardiovascular disease patients.
  • Unlike current anticoagulants, Verseon's Precision Oral Anticoagulants (PROACs) covered by this patent exhibit a unique mechanism of action that does not increase the risk of bleeding yet prevents the formation of the dangerous blood clots behind heart attacks and strokes.
  • Because these compounds are also highly selective against other serine proteases, they are expected to cause fewer side effects.
  • "We are pleased by the USPTO's decision to grant additional patent protection for our PROACs," said Verseon's CSO David Kita.

“This study confirms that SURE with CVAC is an excellent option for patients with large stone burdens, especially patients who are high-risk to undergo PCNL or patients who prefer a more minimally invasive alternative to PCNL,” said Dr. Stern.

Key Points: 
  • “This study confirms that SURE with CVAC is an excellent option for patients with large stone burdens, especially patients who are high-risk to undergo PCNL or patients who prefer a more minimally invasive alternative to PCNL,” said Dr. Stern.
  • This study builds on a previous safety and feasibility study published in the Journal of Endourology in 2022, which demonstrated that the CVAC Aspiration System could safely navigate throughout the kidney, remove significantly more kidney stone volume, and clear a higher proportion of it compared to traditional basket techniques.
  • This new large-stone study is especially encouraging because it indicates patients may also be spared secondary procedures often required in kidney stone care.
  • The CVAC Aspiration System is a novel technology that uses irrigation and aspiration to remove kidney stones after laser lithotripsy with the goal of a surgically stone-free outcome.
