Vital Therapies, Inc. is a biotherapeutic company focused on developing a cell-based system for the treatment of acute liver failure. Our product candidate, the ELAD® System, is a human cell-based, bio-artificial liver support system that operates outside the body, or extracorporeally, and is designed with the proposed intent to allow the patient’s own liver to regenerate to a healthy state, or to stabilize the patient until liver transplant. The ELAD System incorporates our human liver-derived cells, or VTL C3A cells, contained in four hollow fiber cartridges, that are combined with single use customized disposable sets and an ancillary delivery system. Data from ELAD clinical studies has shown trends that may indicate a potential to increase survival rates in patients with acute liver failure. ELAD has received orphan designation in the United States and Europe for the treatment of acute liver failure. Prior to the initiation of our ongoing Phase III clinical trial program, over 145 subjects have received therapy with the ELAD System in seven clinical trials and through a compassionate use program, which we believe collectively suggests a promising therapeutic profile. In March 2013, we initiated VTI-208, a Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial in 200 subjects with alcohol-induced liver decompensation. We reached the midpoint in enrollment of this trial in April 2014, and anticipate the release of preliminary data in the first half of 2015. In addition, we are conducting a second Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial, VTI-210, in 150 subjects with severe acute alcoholic hepatitis, or AAH, which is a subset of AILD, and expect to initiate enrollment of subjects later in 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we began enrollment of a Phase II clinical trial of the ELAD System in subjects with either fulminant hepatic failure, or FHF, or surgery-induced acute liver failure, or SILF. We anticipate the release of data from VTI-210 in 2016 and the Phase II component of VTI-212 in 2015 or 2016.

At Averitas Pharma, we strive to enable people with pain to live and feel more like their true selves. With patients at the forefront of every decision we make, we want more than to envision people not limited by their pain; we work every day with passion and determination to make it a reality. We are currently helping patients by offering the only FDA-approved, non-opioid, topical system for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia (post-shingles nerve pain) and for neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the feet (diabetic nerve pain of the feet). We are proudly building on the 75-year legacy of Grünenthal, a global privately held healthcare company that has been working tirelessly toward a world free of pain by approaching pain as a disease in urgent need of a solution, rather than a mere symptom. We do it because we care. Most of us have either dealt with chronic pain or know someone who has, because it is a burden that far too many people around the world must bear. Our empathy for patients, and our shared sense of mission and purpose, are what inspires us to keep going. And our people are the key to our success.
