Point-of-care regenerative cell therapy demonstrates promising safety and tolerability profile and closure of venous chronic leg wounds as conducted by Technical University Munich Houston, TX, USA and Munich, Germany, September 18, 2017 – InGeneron, Inc. today announced the publication of results from an investigator initiated case series in chronic leg wounds in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. In the case series, InGeneron’s proprietary adipose-derived regenerative cell (ADRC) technology was used for the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers and mixed arterial-venous ulcers, the most common types of chronic leg wounds in the Western world, especially among elderly patients. Both conditions are associated with severe pain impairing quality of life and complex as well as time-consuming treatment regimes. The case series was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital rechts der Isar Munich, led by Principal Investigator Alexander Konstantinow, MD, Dipl. Chem., and was published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology , one of the leading journals in its field. The publication titled “Therapy of ulcus cruris of venous and mixed venous arterial origin with autologous, adult native progenitor cells from subcutaneous adipose tissue: a prospective clinical pilot study” can be accessed through this link . “Chronic leg wounds are associated with a complicated disease progression and severe pain, impairing quality of life. Current treatment options are complex, time consuming and require high medical expenses. New therapeutic interventions that improve outcomes in these patients could have an important therapeutic impact,” said Alexander Konstantinow, MD, Dipl. Chem., senior physician at the Department of Dermatology and Allergology at Technical University Munich, Germany, and the primary investigator of the study. “The results that we have achieved in this case series are remarkable because we have been able to restore wound healing capabilities and decrease pain in multimorbid patients with large venous and mixed arterial-venous ulcers with an one-time minimally invasive application, while demonstrating a very good safety and tolerability profile. InGeneron’s point-of-care system has the potential to benefit a large number of patients with wound healing disorders of vascular origin, while being more cost effective compared to currently available standards of care.” The case series comprised 16 multimorbid leg ulcer patients (12 male, 4 female) ranging in age from 52 to 84 years who were treated with autologous ADRCs prepared at point-of-care with InGeneron’s Transpose® RT system. 7 patients were presenting with venous leg ulcers, 9 with mixed arterial-venous ulcers. Within 10 to 25 weeks, 11 out of the 16 patients showed complete wound closure. All 7 venous leg ulcers patients showed complete epithelialization. Moreover, the group of venous ulcer patients reported significant pain decrease by more than 90 percent 14 days post treatment. After 9 to 44 months of follow-up across all patients, no severe side effects were observed, demonstrating good overall safety and tolerability of the therapy in this patient population. “This case series marks the next step in our journey to establish clinical evidence of how adipose-derived regenerative cells impact inflammation and pain as well as support healing in chronic wounds,” said Ron Stubbers, President of InGeneron. “These encouraging results highlight the potential of our regenerative cell therapy approach in wound healing.” Based on the results of the investigator initiated study InGeneron plans to initiate a FDA feasibility study in the US in the near-term. The prospective, randomized, single-site study will investigate the safety and tolerability of InGeneron’s point-of-care regenerative cell therapy in venous leg ulcer patients. More information about the study can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov or via this link . About the Transpose ® RT System and FDA approved clinical trials InGeneron’s Transpose ® RT cell therapy platform consists of a processing unit, a set of disposables and Matrase ® , a proprietary enzyme mixture. The platform allows the isolation of regenerative cells from the patients’ own adipose tissue at point-of-care in less than 90 minutes for same-day treatment. The cells are re-administered into the patient’s damaged tissue by injection under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. The Transpose® RT System is being investigated in several FDA-approved clinical trials and is currently available in the U.S. for research use only. More information on InGeneron’s actively enrolling clinical trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under the identifiers NCT03752827 , NCT03513731 , and NCT03503305 . About InGeneron InGeneron is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel, safe, and evidence-based cell therapies. We are setting new therapeutic standards by enabling minimally invasive treatments that unlock the healing potential of each patient’s own regenerative cells processed at the point of care for same-day treatment. We currently focus on helping patients impacted by orthopedic conditions and are conducting several clinical trials to validate our technology as a disease-modifying treatment. Based on more than 20 years of research, InGeneron is dedicated to developing therapies supported by clinical evidence and approved by the FDA. www.ingeneron.com Contacts: InGeneron, Inc.
