“2021 was a transformative year, during which we advanced Sigyn Therapy from conceptual design to clinical application and added key members to our clinical and management team,” stated Jim Joyce, co-founder and CEO of Sigyn Therapeutics. “During the year, we conducted a series of studies that validated Sigyn Therapy’s potential to address an unrivaled breadth of therapeutics targets.

2021 and Recent Development Program Milestone Achievements
In January 2021, announced the results of an in vitro pilot study that successfully modeled the ability of Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles (extracellular vesicles that transport inflammatory cargos in the bloodstream). Prior to this milestone event, the Company reported the simultaneous elimination of endotoxin and relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines from human blood plasma in December 2020.
In April 2021, disclosed initial in vitro study observations that demonstrated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to adsorb viral pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
In July 2021, announced the completion of an in vitro blood purification study that demonstrated the broad-spectrum ability of Sigyn Therapy to eliminate hepatic toxins (ammonia, bile acid & bilirubin) associated with Hepatic Encephalopathy (“HE”), a life-threatening neurological disorder that often occurs in individuals suffering from chronic and acute forms of liver failure.
In July 2021, disclosed the completion of the first-in-mammal pilot animal study that validated the feasibility of a clinical protocol that resulted in the safe administration of Sigyn Therapy during six-hour treatment exposures.
In December 2021, announced that preclinical in vitro studies had validated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to deplete the presence of gram-positive bacterial toxins from human blood plasma.
In February 2022, reported the successful completion of an in vivo animal study conducted at the University of Michigan, which demonstrated Sigyn Therapy to be safe and well tolerated. A video of Sigyn Therapy being administered on January 7, 2022 can be accessed here.
