The Company reported a net loss attributable to the common stockholders of $15.1 million or $0.63 per share for Q2 2015, as against the net loss attributable to the common stockholders of $16.3 million or $0.91 per share for the same period a year earlier.

- Key developments from the quarter - As of July 29, 2015, Vital Therapies enrolled eighteenth subject in its second phase 3 clinical trial, VTI-210. This trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label study evaluating the ELAD System in severe acute alcoholic hepatitis subjects who have failed standard therapy.
For VTI-212, a single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial, evaluating the ELAD System in 40 subjects with either fulminant hepatic failure or surgery-induced liver failure, Vital Therapies has enrolled the seventh subject as of July 29, 2015. The top-line results from VTI-212 are expected to be released in 2016.
In July 2015, Vital Therapies presented a poster titled "Expression of Acute-Phase Proteins by ELAD C3A Cells" at the International Liver Transplantation Society's 21st Annual International Congress. The poster described that ELAD's VTL C3A cells produce several key anti-inflammatory proteins that can decrease inflammation of the liver in patients with alcohol-induced liver decompensation (AILD).
The Company also informed that it is on schedule to release top-line results from its VTI-208 clinical trial during the third quarter of 2015.
- Management's Note - "As we approach data lock and analysis of VTI-208 results, we are pleased to report we are on schedule to report topline results later this quarter," Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of Vital Therapies, Terry Winters, said while commenting on the financial performance. He further added, "VTI-208 is the largest liver support system clinical trial ever conducted, was run on three continents and enrolled 203 subjects. Needless to say we are excitedly awaiting these results."
