Therapeutic Candidate or Device NRTX-1001 is an inhibitory neuron cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells. Indication Focal epilepsy; drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Therapeutic Mechanism NRTX-1001 is an inhibitory neuron cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) for the prospective treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy (MTLE). NRTX-1001 is delivered as a […]
A Phase I, Pilot Study of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes in PaTients with ChrOnic Ischemic Left VentRicular Dysfunction (HECTOR)
Therapeutic Candidate or Device The therapeutic candidate is human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) as a new therapy for chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy patients Indication hESC-CMs will be indicated for treatment of heart failure (HF) and for preventing progression to HF in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy. Therapeutic Mechanism There are two commonly accepted mechanisms by […]
Safety and Tolerability Study of Neural Stem Cells (NR1) in Subjects with Chronic Ischemic Subcortical Stroke
Therapeutic Candidate or Device A human embryonic derived, non-genetically modified neural stem cell (NR1), originally derived from the Wi-Cell H-9 line Indication Patients with chronic motor deficits, from 6 to 60 months after stroke. NR1 cells will be injected into the brain near the site of the stroke. Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed therapeutic mechanism of […]
Clinical trial of directly vascularized islet cell replacement therapy for high-risk type 1 diabetes
Therapeutic Candidate or Device pancreatic progenitor cells in a delivery device that allows direct vascularization Indication high-risk type 1 diabetes including "brittle" diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness Therapeutic Mechanism People with type 1 diabetes have lost their pancreatic cells that make insulin, and therefore have to self-administer insulin. It is very difficult to manage blood sugar […]
Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Neural Stem Cells for Severe Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Human embryonic stem cell-derived neural stem cells. Indication Spinal cord injury Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed neural stem cell therapy will be transplanted into a spinal cord injury site, providing cell replacement and a new neuronal relay across the injury site in an effort to promote significant functional improvement. Unmet Medical Need […]
Plurocart: a novel stem cell-based implant for articular cartilage restoration
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Plurocart consists of pluripotent stem cell-derived chondrocytes, seeded onto a scaffold; it is intended to treat damaged cartilage in the knee joint. Indication Plurocart is intended to be surgically implanted in the knee and regenerate injured cartilage – relieving pain and improving function of the joint. Therapeutic Mechanism Plurocart is surgically […]
An hESC-derived hNSC Therapeutic for Huntington’s Disease
Therapeutic Candidate or Device The therapeutic candidate is a human Neural Stem Cell product to prevent or delay disease symptoms for treatment of Huntington's disease (HD). Indication Huntington’s disease, a progressive, degenerative brain disease, typically strikes in midlife with no disease modifying treatment treatments exist. Therapeutic Mechanism Based on our pre-clinical studies, the human neural […]
Intraparenchymal NR1 Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Subcortical Ischemic Stroke
Therapeutic Candidate or Device A human embryonic derived, non-genetically modified neural stem cell (NR1), originally derived from the Wi-Cell H-9 line. Indication Patients with chronic motor deficits, from 6 months to 5 years after stroke. NR1 cells will be transplanted into the brain near the stroke. Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed therapeutic mechanism of action of […]
Stem cell-derived islet cell replacement therapy with immunosuppression for high-risk type 1 diabetes
Therapeutic Candidate or Device hESC-derived pancreatic progenitor cells delivered in a device that allows direct vascularization of the cell therapy Indication high-risk type 1 diabetes including "brittle" diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness Therapeutic Mechanism People with type 1 diabetes have lost their pancreatic cells that make insulin, and therefore have to self-administer insulin. It is very […]
