Regen BioPharma Submits Application to FDA for Orphan Drug Designation for its HemaXellerate Product
PR Newswire
SAN DIEGO, January 26, 2016
SAN DIEGO, January 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Regen BioPharma, Inc., (OTCBB: RGBP) and (PINK: RGBP) announced today submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of an application requesting Orphan Drug status for the use of HemaXellerate for the treatment of aplastic anemia.
"Because HemaXellerate is a personalized cell therapy product aimed at addressing an unmet medical need, we are hopeful that the FDA will grant it orphan status," said David Koos, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Regen BioPharma.
HemaXellerate is comprised of cells extracted from the patient's own fat tissue and processed using a proprietary method so as to induce a biological response in the patient that heals damaged bone marrow and restores ability of the body to generate healthy blood cells. The FDA recently cleared Regen to perform phase I clinical trials using HemaXellerate in aplastic anemia patients.
Having an Orphan Drug designation for HemaXellerate is important as it will allow for:
•Annual grant funding to defray the cost of clinical testing
•Tax credits for the costs of clinical research
•Assistance in clinical research study design
•Seven-year period of exclusive marketing after an orphan drug is approved
•Waiver of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) filing fees
"Should HemaXellerate be fortunate enough to be designated an Orphan Drug, we will take advantage of the rich resources the National Institutes of Health provides in assisting development of such drugs to get HemaXellerate to market as quickly as possible," said Harry Lander, Ph.D., MBA, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regen BioPharma.
