Currently, the lack of effective infection prevention methods exposes patients to higher risk. When they occur, SSIs lead to hospital readmission, increased resource utilization and cost the U.S. healthcare system nearly $10 billion annually. The opportunity to make significant inroads to reduce these numbers is an exciting possibility with D-PLEX<SUB>100</SUB>.”</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Conference Call Dial-In & Webcast Information:</B></P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Date: Monday, May 23, 2022</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Time: 8:30 AM Eastern Time</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">United States: +1 877-870-9135</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Israel: +972 1809 213-985</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">International: +44 (0) 2071 928338</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Conference ID: 4857305</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in">Webcast: https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/84mxrrtd</P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in"> </P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"><B><U>About <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">SHIELD I</FONT></U></B></P> <P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </P> <P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; background-color: white"><B>SHIELD I (</B></FONT><B>S</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">urgical site </FONT><B>H</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">ospital acquired </FONT><B>I</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">nfection pr</FONT><B>E</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">vention with </FONT><B>L</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">ocal </FONT><B>D</B><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">-PLEX) is a prospective, multinational, randomized, double blind Phase 3 trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of D-PLEX100 administered concomitantly with standard of care (SoC), which includes prophylactic systemic antibiotics, compared to a SoC alone arm, in prevention of post abdominal surgery incisional infection. The primary endpoint of the trial is the combination of incisional SSIs and mortality rate as measured by the proportion of subjects with either an SSIs event, as determined by a blinded and independent adjudication committee, or mortality for any reason within 30 days post-surgery.
