Company Summary

APT is developing a Targeted Apheresis Column for Preeclampsia (TAC- PE) to be used to specifically and safely remove pathogenic factors associated with preeclampsia, including sFlt-1, from the blood of pregnant mothers. Removing these factors could lead to prolonged pregnancy, improved fetal outcomes, and decreased risk associated with preterm birth. APT's TAC-PE could become the standard of care for treating this virtually unmet need.
