Asterias Biotherapeutics AST-OPC1 Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury Patients Shown to Help Patients Paralyzed from the Neck Down Regain Function in the Arms and Hands
PR Newswire - Wed Sep 14, 9:03AM CDT
The News: Asterias Biotherapeutics, based in Fremont, California, announced today positive interim efficacy data in the Company's ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical study in complete cervical spinal cord injury (loss of both motor function and sensation below the neck) patients. While early in the study, with only 4 of the 5 patients having reached 90 days after dosing, all patients who received 10 million AST-OPC1 cells have shown at least one motor level of improvement (regaining some function in their arms) while 2 of 5 patients achieved two motor levels of improvement (regaining some function in their arms, hands and fingers) on at least one side of their body. Researchers initially thought that results would take 6-12 months to see. The next phase of the study - starting this fall -- will utilize an even higher dose of AST-OPC1 (20 million cells).

Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: AST), today presented positive interim efficacy data from the 10 million cell cohort in the Company's ongoing AST-OPC1 SCiSTAR Phase 1/2a multicenter clinical study in complete cervical spinal cord injury patients. While early in the study, with only 4 of the 5 patients in the cohort having reached 90 days after dosing, all patients have shown at least one motor level of improvement so far and the efficacy target of 2 of 5 patients in the cohort achieving two motor levels of improvement on at least one side of their body has already been achieved.
