Framingham, MA, January 12, 2007 – clinivation, Inc. announced today that Vasogen, Inc. (NASDAQ CM: VSGN) has selected clinivation’s clinical, regulatory, design and quality assurance solutions.
“Vasogen is focused on developing treatments targeting chronic inflammation underlying cardiovascular and neurological disease,” remarked Joseph Kozikowski, M.D., clinivation’s Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased that Vasogen’s senior management has selected clinivation to assist in the restructuring of Vasogen’s Celacade program,” he continued.
During the 2006 fiscal year, Vasogen completed a 2,408-patient double blind, placebo-controlled advanced chronic heart failure clinical assessment of immune modulation therapy (ACCLAIM) trial.

The Celacade technology is designed to be integrated at multiple points of care, including outpatient hospital clinics and cardiology practices.
Clinivation’s rapidly-implementable quality systems infrastructure solutions are pre-configured, matched to specific client needs, and designed to scale with product history and organization growth.
