Regen BioPharma, wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. (OTCQB: BMSN), announced today its submission of responses to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) comments regarding its IND # 15376 covering the use of HemaXellerate for treatment of immune suppressant resistant aplastic anemia. As part of the response to comments, Regen BioPharma provided new data demonstrating efficacy of the HemaXellerate product at accelerating stem cell recovery after chemotherapeutic injury.
"We are pleased with the responses that we have provided to the FDA and look forward to initiating our clinical trials," stated David Koos, Chairman and CEO of Regen BioPharma. "Although it is possible that a second round of comments may be issued, we feel this process is extremely useful to creating a clinical trial that is optimized for safety and detection of efficacy."
The HemaXellerate clinical trial aims to recruit 10 patients with aplastic anemia that have not shown material signs of improvement under the current the standard of care. If successful, the company will progress to larger efficacy-finding trials, as well as expansion to other diseases that would benefit from enhancement of bone marrow stem cells.
The scientific rationale for HemaXellerate, as well as some of the supporting data, may be found in the peer reviewed publication titled "Exogenous endothelial cells as accelerators of hematopoietic reconstitution," which is available at this link
