Company overview

Blood-Safety Technology Company

Cerus develops products designed to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections and improve the availability of standardized blood components. Its customers include blood centers, hospitals, and transfusion-medicine providers in the United States and international markets.

INTERCEPT for Platelets and Plasma

The INTERCEPT Blood System treats donated platelets and plasma to inactivate a broad range of pathogens and contaminating donor white blood cells. These systems are approved in the United States and carry CE marking, supporting a recurring business based on disposable treatment kits and illumination devices.

INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex

In the United States, the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation is used to produce pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex. The product provides fibrinogen replacement for the treatment and control of bleeding associated with fibrinogen deficiency, including massive hemorrhage.

Red Blood Cell Program

Cerus is developing an INTERCEPT system for red blood cells, the largest remaining major blood-component category not yet covered by its commercial platform. The program is under regulatory review in Europe and in late-stage clinical development in the United States.

Recurring Product and Government-Supported Model

Commercial revenue is driven primarily by treatment kits, finished blood products, and related system components. Government contracts, including support from BARDA, help fund development of the red blood cell system and other preparedness-related capabilities.

Future catalysts

  • Phase 3 RedeS readout for the INTERCEPT Red Blood Cell system in 2026.
  • FDA regulatory decision on the INT200 next-generation platelet illuminator in early 2027.
