istered via the coronary artery, as a liquid that is injected during catheterization into the damaged heart muscle. The liquid polymerizes within the tissue and forms a protective scaffold that enhances the mechanical strength of the heart muscle during recovery and repair thereby preventing pathological enlargement of the left ventricle after the heart attack. BL-1040 degrades naturally six weeks after injection.

Patients who have undergone an acute MI (AMI) with severe heart damage are the most likely to benefit from BL-1040. Approximately 40% of AMI patients develop left ventricle dilatation or heart failure, which carries a substantially greater mortality risk. This population includes approximately 380,000 patients in the U.S., with a total estimated U.S. market of over $1.5 billion.

BL-1040 was in-licensed from Ben-Gurion University through its business company BGN Technologies, and was developed by Professor Smadar Cohen and Professor Jonathan Leor from the Department of Biotech and Biomedical Engineering at Ben-Gurion University.
