OBI president and chief financial officer Michael Jebsen said enrolment in the second cohort is a major milestone in Oxycyte’s development.

"We have spent the last year focused on securing long-term supply of clinical trial material and retaining a contract research organisation with the ability to effectively manage an international clinical trial," Jebsen said.

"The Phase IIb clinical trial will investigate the safety and tolerability of Oxycyte in patients with severe, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury."

"Bringing Oxycyte to market as a treatment for acute ischemic conditions, such as TBI, remains the top priority of OBI."

The randomised, double-blind study administers oxycyte once intravenously to patients, along with supplemental oxygen.
