ZymoGenetics, Inc. Release: New Data Presented at American Burn Association’s Annual Meeting Support Safety Profile of RECOTHROM(R) Thrombin, Topical (Recombinant) in Pediatric Patients

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZymoGenetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZGEN), today announced the presentation of safety and immunogenicity data among pediatric burn patients at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the American Burn Association in Boston, MA. The study marks the first dedicated look at the safety and immunogenicity of any stand-alone thrombin in pediatric surgical patients. The investigators concluded that RECOTHROM did not appear to be associated with any treatment-related adverse events when used as an aid to hemostasis in pediatric patients undergoing synchronous burn wound excision and skin grafting. Additionally, none of the pediatric burn patients who were administered RECOTHROM during their surgical procedure developed product-specific antibodies through post-operative (post-op) day 29.
