Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Allogeneic Cardiosphere-Derived Cells (CDCs, CAP-1002) Indication Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy Therapeutic Mechanism Secretion of identified bioactive elements will reduce myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac function. Unmet Medical Need Heart failure is the leading cause of death among young men with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. No specific therapies exist to treat this element […]
Alpha Stem Cell Clinic for the Development of Regenerative Therapies
The proposed alpha clinic will bring together an outstanding team of physician-scientists with substantial clinical trials experience including stem cell and other cellular treatments of blood diseases and others. This team will also draw on our unique regional competitive advantages derived from our history of extensive collaboration with investigators at many nearby first-class research institutions […]
UCLA-UCI Alpha Stem Cell Clinic (ASCC) Consortium
Two world renowned research universities with their regional partners will join forces to create the CIRM Alpha Stem Cell Clinic (ASCC) Consortium. We are uniquely qualified by our respective institutional knowledge and collective experience to establish best practices for the delivery of stem cell therapies and education as we combine: 1) world class state-of-the-art medical […]
Allogeneic Cardiac-Derived Stem Cells for Patients Following a Myocardial Infarction
The proposed research will demonstrate both safety and efficacy of a heart-derived stem cell product in patients who have experienced a heart attack either recently or in the past by conducting a mid-stage clinical trial. A prior early-stage trial showed that the product can repair damaged portions of the heart after a heart attack in […]
