The CARBALIVE Consortium announces positive results of a Phase 2 equivalent trial of engineered macroporous carbons as a novel treatment for cirrhosis
Patients treated with orally-administered, non-absorbable engineered carbon of controlled porosity was safe, tolerable and showed trends in improvements in a range of biomarkers of systemic inflammation
The mechanism of this effect is modulation of dysbiosis, gut inflammation and leaky gut that are characteristic of cirrhosis
Planning for pivotal trials to support approval in Europe is now under way

CARBALIVE Consortium('CARBALIVE' or the 'Consortium') is pleased to announce positive data from the Phase 2 equivalent randomised, double-blind clinical trial of Carbalive, a product candidate for the treatment of patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Carbalive is specifically designed to remove harmful bacterial toxins from the gut, reduce gut inflammation and its permeability, preventing them from leaking into the rest of the body.
