VIVACELLE BIO, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on creating products that utilize our patented phospholipid nanoparticle technology to design products that increase the survivability of critically ill patients. Our phospholipid nanoparticles are very small (7-300mm) particles comprised of naturally occurring phospholipids that form a single-layered wall around an oil droplet called a micelle or a doubled layered wall encircling critical components dissolved in water called a liposome. Combinations of micelles and liposomes of various sizes make up the different phospholipid nanoparticle formulations that we have invented. Our research has revealed that particles of different sizes possess different properties that are beneficial in specific conditions of critical illness. Vivacelle Bio, Inc. has two products that have been cleared by the FDA for phase IIa clinical trials. In both cases the FDA permitted Vivacelle Bio to proceed directly to phase IIa skipping phase I based on the well-established safety of all of the components of each product.  One product, VBI-S, is designed for the treatment of hypovolemia and hypotension of septic shock.

The clinical trial of VBI-S in patients in whom other fluids have failed to elevate their blood pressure is now in progress at multiple hospitals. This trial is supported by a 5.3 million dollar grant from the Naval Medical Research Center. The other product VBI-1 is designed for the treatment of severe blood loss. Vivacelle Bio has a pipeline of additional products at various stages of development applicable to multiple areas of medicine such as but not limited to organ transplantation, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and reperfusion injury.
