The trial demonstrated that D-PLEX100, when administered alongside standard of care, achieved a 38% reduction (p<0.005) in the combined endpoint of surgical site infections, reinterventions, or mortality compared to standard of care alone. Additionally, the trial showed a 58% reduction (p<0.005) in the rate of surgical site infections in the D-PLEX100 treatment arm.
