SeaStar Medical, AREVA Institute announces DoD award of military grant

The Autonomous Reanimation and Evacuation Research Institute and SeaStar Medical (ICU) announced that a new United States Department of Defense grant has been awarded to AREVA. The grant is one of four selected out of 160 total submissions by the 2024 Military Burn Research Program and represents cutting-edge research for extracorporeal immunomodulation to reduce inflammation after severe burns, inhalation injury, and septicemia. The grant supports a three-year research study that is scheduled to begin in July 2025 with more than $2 million in DoD funding. The study will explore the application of SeaStar Medical’s Selective Cytopheretic Device therapy to reduce hyperinflammation in warfighters after severe burns, inhalation injury, and infection. The award represents a significant step towards the advancement of extracorporeal immunomodulation through the use of the SCD therapy, an innovative therapeutic device designed to neutralize destructive hyperinflammation, to improve survival in both combat casualties and civilian patients suffering from severe trauma and infection. Used alongside continuous renal replacement therapy, the SCD therapy is designed to support organ recovery and may reduce the need for dialysis in patients with severe acute inflammatory conditions.
