Cerus Corporation (Nasdaq: CERS) has secured an additional $7.2 million contract amendment from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to advance the development of lyophilized INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex (LyoIFC) for treating trauma-related bleeding. This supplements their existing $18 million DoD contract for developing room-temperature, shelf-stable LyoIFC.

The new funding will support the CRYO-FIRST study, a 320-patient randomized trial comparing pre-thawed IFC to conventional cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early fibrinogen administration in trauma patients and will begin enrollment in early 2026.

Since receiving initial DoD funding in November 2022, Cerus has achieved key milestones including FDA pathway discussions, successful process scale-up, and prototype delivery to the DoD.
