Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions, in October announced topline results from its phase 2a CLEAR MIND trial, investigating Lomecel-B(TM) for the treatment of mild Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”). “Lomecel-B(TM) is an allogeneic medicinal signaling cell (‘MSC’). MSCs appear to possess anti-inflammatory, pro-vascular and pro-regenerative properties. The study met its primary safety endpoint across all study groups based on statistical and medical assessments, with the safety data consistent with an established safety profile with no incidence of hypersensitivity, no cases of Alzheimer Related Imagine Abnormalities (‘ARIA’), no clinically asymptomatic microhemorrhages, and no notable changes in laboratory evaluations and electrocardiogram (‘ECG’) reported. Moreover, the study revealed statistically significant improvements in the secondary endpoint Composite Alzheimer’s Disease Score (‘CADS’) for Lomecel-B(TM) and specific components of the CADS,” a recent article reads. “These study results with Lomecel-B(TM) are encouraging,” Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, MD, vice chair of research at UNLV’s Department of Brain Health, is quoted as saying. “The study met its primary safety endpoint and is supported by lack of deterioration in cognitive or atrophy signals. The efficacy observations are encouraging, and these results should be used as a foundation for further studies.”
