Cerus Corporation (Nasdaq: CERS) announced a significant recommendation from the German National Blood Advisory Committee (AK Blut) advocating for pathogen inactivation (PI) measures, including INTERCEPT®, to enhance platelet transfusion safety.
The recommendation highlights that while current safeguards have reduced transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections (TTBI), risks remain with approximately 5 clinical cases per million transfusions, and potentially up to 1,300 contaminated units per million. Germany produces over 600,000 platelet doses annually, the highest in Europe.
Key recommendations include treating platelet units with PI or validated bacterial screening, extending PI-treated platelet shelf life to seven days, limiting untreated platelets to three days, and adjusting reimbursement rates to cover PI treatment costs.
