ART 123 (recombinant human thrombomodulin alpha, marketed as Recomodulin® in Japan), our lead product candidate, represents a promising new treatment for severe sepsis with coagulopathy. This drug has successfully completed a Phase 2b clinical trial in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and Phase 3 trials will be underway shortly. This product might also be beneficial for a number of other indications.
