Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OXBO.OB) Files Patent Application for Emergency Heart Attack Treatment Device

QualityStocks (September 24th, 2009) Writes:

Oxygen Biotherapeutics Inc. today announced that the company has submitted a patent application for a new invention that uses Oxycyte perfluorocarbon to deliver oxygen as a first aid treatment for victims of heart attack and strokes. Oxycyte is the company’s perfluorocarbon (PFC) therapeutic oxygen carrier.

The company’s invention, called Vitavent, provides an immediate supply of Oxycyte and oxygen to the victim of a heart attack or stroke until medical help is available. It may be used easily by a victim of a heart attack or stroke, who is still conscious, without the assistance of another. It also may be used by someone who cannot adequately perform CPR in order to assist someone who is unconscious.

By safely combining Oxycyte and oxygen, and administering both together with the help of a self-propelled compressor, Oxycyte is able to absorb and carry into the victim’s lung an oxygen load that is 50 times greater than

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OXBO.OB) Receives Go-Ahead for Phase II-B Trial

QualityStocks (September 24th, 2009) Writes:

Yesterday, Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. announced that the company has received approval from Israel’s Ministry of Health to begin a Phase II-b clinical trial for use of Oxycyte(R), a perfluorocarbon therapeutic oxygen carrier, in traumatic brain injuries. With four centers in Israel, the clinical trial is part of a larger study that also includes seven trial centers in Switzerland.

The company has named the study “Safety and Tolerability of Oxycyte in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury” or “STOP TBI.” The dose escalation trial aims to discover the lowest possible dose of Oxycyte that provides clinical benefit in traumatic brain injury while minimizing adverse effects. Dose levels of Oxycyte would start at 1.0 ml/kg body weight and escalate in steps to 2.0 ml/kg, and 3.0 ml/kg. Dose escalation will only occur after a favorable review of safety data by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board.

Chris stern, company chairman and CEO, stated, “This

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OXBO.OB) Demonstrates Animal Model Improvement with Oxycyte®

QualityStocks (November 12th, 2008) Writes:

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to oxygen therapies and continuous substrate monitoring. For those unfamiliar with oxygen therapies, it refers to products that mimic human blood’s oxygen transport ability. Oxygen therapeutics are in turn broken into two categories based on transport mechanism: perfluorocarbon based, and hemoglobin based.

The Company has under development a perfluorocarbon therapeutic oxygen carrier and liquid ventilation product (Oxycyte®) and an implantable glucose sensor. Oxycyte®, once commercialized, may help patients recover from traumatic brain injury, sickle cell crisis pain, trauma, wound care, acute respiratory distress syndrome, stroke, myocardial infarction, surgery, and diabetes.

Yesterday the company announced that the animal studies conducted using rats given different doses of Oxycyte showed improved brain cognitive ability after brain trauma. The researchers found that injured animals treated with a dose of Oxycyte had significant improvement in ability to learn. The ability to learn and perform complex tasks (a maze)

Oxygen Biotherapeutics Inc. (OXBO.OB) to Submit Test Protocol to FDA for Multi-Center Study for Traumatic Brain Injury

QualityStocks (October 28th, 2008) Writes:

Oxygen Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCBB: OXBO) engages in marketing innovative pharmaceuticals and medical devices to monitor respiration in patients suffering from or associated with respiratory distress syndrome, stroke, myocardial infarction, surgery, trauma, malignant tumors and diabetes.

The company today announced it will submit an amended test protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as well as in Canada, to cover the dose escalation studies of the company’s therapeutic oxygen carrier Oxycyte. The company plans on recruiting 40 traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in each country to test the safety and efficacy of Oxycyte.

“Personally, I think that the extensive data we will collect in the dose escalation studies should be more than needed for proof-of-concept in both safety and efficacy. The advantage is that we should have the data we need much earlier, after each cohort of 10, rather than after 200 patients as it was previously planned. Another important
