CONCORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cerus Corporation (Nasdaq: CERS) today announced it will showcase the latest INTERCEPT Blood System clinical data at the 35 th Regional International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Congress being held May 31 to June 4, 2025, in Milan.
'The breadth of data being presented this year underscores the broad applicability of the INTERCEPT system for platelets, plasma, and cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex as well as the potential benefit for red blood cells,' said Richard J. Benjamin, Cerus' chief medical officer. 'Importantly, we are looking forward to sharing the positive results from our Phase 3 ReCePI study in red blood cells, INTERCEPT treated cold stored platelets, and effective inactivation of California encephalitis virus with the blood transfusion community.'
The following is a list of selected presentations and abstracts of interest for Cerus. All presentation times are listed in Central European Summer Time (CEST).

ABOUT CERUS
Cerus Corporation is dedicated solely to safeguarding the world's blood supply and aims to become the preeminent global blood products company. Headquartered in Concord, California, the company develops and supplies vital technologies and pathogen-protected blood components to blood centers, hospitals, and ultimately patients who rely on safe blood. The INTERCEPT Blood System for platelets and plasma is available globally and remains the only pathogen reduction system with both CE mark and FDA approval for these two blood components. In the U.S., the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation is approved for the production of Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen Complex (commonly referred to as INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex), a therapeutic product for the treatment and control of bleeding, including massive hemorrhage, associated with fibrinogen deficiency. The INTERCEPT red blood cell system is under regulatory review in Europe, and in late-stage clinical development in the U.S. For more information about Cerus, visit www.cerus.com and follow us on LinkedIn.
