Sometimes, you have to go it alone. For a while, at least.
Biopharmaceutical companies, regulators, and other stakeholders are aligned on the need to accelerate cell and gene therapy (CGT) development...
The biotech will soon evaluate the safety and efficacy of its regenerative cardiovascular stem cells, coined ProtheraCytes, in a Phase III trial.
For some companies, patience may be a virtue when it comes to collaboration.
The success of CAR-Ts in oncology has stoked enthusiasm for developing comparable curative therapies in other disease areas. CellProthera’s Chief Scientific Officer, Ibon Garitaonandia, explains the potential and progress for CGTs in cardiology, where disease-modifying therapies are largely non-existent.
Speaking at a press conference, CellProthera’s CEO said the company is moving into the final phase of clinical development for its product.
Revolutionizing Cardiac Regeneration.
July 8, 2024—France-based CellProthera and BioCardia, Inc., which is headquartered in California, announced findings from the collaborative phase 2 trial of CellProthera’s ProtheraCytes for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Additionally, the companies noted they plan to continue the collaboration into phase 3.
Researchers harvest stem cells from patients who have recently had a heart attack and use them to trigger regeneration of their cardiac muscle.
