Creative Medical Technology Holdings Files Patent on Anti-aging Technology Using AmnioStem Stem Cells PHOENIX, May 8, 2018 Creative Medical Technology Holdings announced today filing of patent application number 62663912 covering the use of its AmnioStemTM stem cells as a means of reducing/reversing natural aging.
Previous studies by the Company have demonstrated that AmnioStemTM cells secrete factors that are capable of rejuvenating aged cells. By encapsulating the cells outside of the body, so that the cells are in contact with the patient's circulation, the cells are permitted to secrete factors that may reduce aging, without having to inject the cells in the patient.
The concept of using cells that are growing outside of the body as a means of modifying physiological activities has previously been performed and appears feasible. Specifically, similar approaches to mixing patient blood with cells outside of the body have previously been attempted in the area of liver failure. A clinical trial demonstrated feasibility of using cell culture of hepatocytes to act as a "liver assist device". These devices are currently in Phase 3 of clinical trials1,2.
The filed patent describes a similar approach to those used in liver failure, with the exception that instead of using hepatocytes outside of the body, the device uses AmnioStemTM amniotic fluid derived stem cells.
"Previous studies from Stanford University3 and Harvard University4 have shown that if the circulation of an aged mouse is connected to the circulation of a young mouse, various factors secreted by young mice induce an anti-aging/rejuvenating effects on organs/tissues of aged mice. Through this patent, we are aiming to recapitulate this effect, in an ethical and technically feasible manner." Said Dr. Thomas Ichim, the Company's Chief Scientific Officer. "What is stunning about the AmnioStemTM stem cell, which was licensed by the Company from the University of California San Diego, is that it possesses many regenerative features but is collected from non-controversial sources."
The AmnioStemTM stem cell is derived from amniotic fluid during the process of amniocentesis. Amniotic fluid is typically considered medical waste. Scientists at University of California San Diego have developed means of extracting and growing stem cells from the amniotic fluid. These stem cells have been published to be capable of treating animal models of numerous diseases including stroke5, heart attack6, liver failure7, colitis8, diabetes9, emphysema10, and kidney injury11. An important activity of amniotic fluid stem cells is that cells derived from one person can be used to treat other people, making them "universal donor" stem cells.
"The concept of using young blood to stimulate regeneration in aged individuals is attracting much attention in the area of regenerative medicine. I am enthusiastic about the approach being developed by Creative Medical Technology Holdings, which overcomes some of the important roadblocks that prevent implementation of this novel and promising approach," said Amit Patel, MD, MS, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery University of Miami and coinventor of the patent.
"At Creative Medical Technology Holdings we are committed to advancing regenerative medicine to various areas of human suffering. In contrast to other conditions, aging will occur in everyone," said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology Holdings. "While the field of anti-aging medicine is filled with various false hopes and hype, we are attempting to address this problem cautiously and methodologically through testing our technology for safety and efficacy.'
"Our goal is to continue to internally develop and patent technology in the regenerative medicine space and to broaden our patent portfolio for future commercialization by the company and/or with other life science companies with complementary technology."

"Urologist to the Stars" Dr. Alexander Gershman to attend American Urological Association conference to discuss the CaverStem™ Stem Cell Procedure for Drug Refractory Erectile Dysfunction
PHOENIX and LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2018
Creative Medical Technology Holdings Inc. (OTCQB ticker symbol CELZ) announced today that Dr. Alexander Gershman will attend the AUA conference on May 19th and 20th with Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. to discuss the CaverStem(TM) procedure from the perspective of a physician treating patients.
Dr. Alexander Gershman, Director of The Institute of Advanced Urology at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Tower; Director of Urologic Laparoscopy in the Division of Urology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, began treating patients with the CaverStem(TM) procedure in December 2017, which involves extraction of a small amount of bone marrow, concentration of bone marrow derived stem cells, and subsequent administration to the patient.
"There is much excitement about stem cells revolutionizing many aspects of medicine. I am enthusiastic to be offering this cutting edge procedure to my patients, for which previous therapies have failed or are too invasive," said Dr. Gershman. "Numerous publications and a recent clinical trial at the Los Angeles Biomedical Institute at Harbor - UCLA Hospital in Torrance, CA, support the safety and feasibility of the CaverStem(TM) procedure. The biological basis of the bone marrow based treatment is that in patients with drug non-responsive erectile dysfunction, there is a deficit in function of smooth muscle and blood vessel cells. By administering the patient's own stem cells we aim to rebuild these damaged tissues, and thereby restore erectile function."
Creative Medical Health Technology Holdings is offering the CaverStem(TM) procedure to selected physicians in the USA, which qualify according to the Company's criteria. Approximately 30% of the 30,000,000 patients suffering from erectile dysfunction do not respond to drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, in part due to an underlying degeneration of the biological machinery needed to achieve erections.
"We are pleased to have one of the top opinion leaders of the urology community join us, as we present the CaverStem(TM) procedure to the attendees of the American Urological Association conference," said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology Holdings Inc.

Stem Cells as Medicine: The Promise of Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells Continues to Attract Optimism
PHOENIX, Dec. 20, 2017
PHOENIX, Dec. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc (OTCQB:CELZ) provides the following discussion on a recent US News and World Report article[1] addressing advances of adult stem cells and its own patented stem cell technologies.
Stem cells are broadly categorized into "embryonic" and "adult" stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from fertilized eggs and hold potential to generate every major tissue in the body. Unfortunately, embryonic stem cells are difficult to control due to their very immature state. This limits their ability to be used in patients, which has accounted for a lack of commercial success. In contrast, adult stem cells, which are classified as every type of stem cell that is not embryonic, are the basis of the technology of the two publicly traded biotech companies referenced in the article, Mesoblast and Athersys. Currently, Mesoblast is developing stem cells based on bone marrow stem cells from donors, primarily for treating heart failure, which is in the most advanced phases of clinical trials, termed Phase III. Additionally, Athersys is also using bone marrow derived stem cells from donors, primarily for use in stroke, which is also in Phase III clinical trials.
"We at Creative Medical Technologies are encouraged by this promising article that highlights the important advances being made by adult stem cell companies in addressing the significant unmet medical needs in degenerative conditions such as stroke and heart failure," said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology Holdings. "For the past 7 years, we have been working on developing two types of adult stem cell therapies which are protected by issued US patents."
Our first type of technology is based on a more immediate commercialization, these therapies use the patient's own unexpanded and minimally manipulated stem cells, termed autologous stem cells, that can be rapidly implemented because of the long safety record of this type of procedure. Our CaverstemTM procedure, involves using the patient's own bone marrow derived stem cells to treat drug-resistant erectile dysfunction. This clinically tried procedure is already being performed by doctors on the West Coast.
Our second autologous bone marrow stem cell procedure for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, termed StemSpine™, is in the process of commercialization. Our second type of technology is a "universal donor" stem cell that is similar to stem cells developed by Athersys and Mesoblast. In contrast to other universal donor stem cell types, the stem cell developed by Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc., termed "AmnioStemTM is derived from amniotic fluid, which possesses a higher ability to regenerate tissues as compared to other stem cell types. Our AmnioStemTM, universal donor stem cell is being developed as a treatment for stroke, with an FDA Investigational New Drug Application (IND) filing planned to initiate clinical trials.
"I am very impressed with the speed, agility, and precision that the team at Creative Medical Technology Holdings has displayed in advancing both autologous and allogeneic stem cell therapies," said Dr. Santosh Kesari, MD, PhD, FANA, FAAN, Director of the Neuroscience Research Center at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute and Member of Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. Scientific Advisory Board. "I look forward to working with the company in advancing its adult stem cell therapy products, which aim to address numerous unmet medical needs."

Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. Files Patent on AmnioStem™ Mediated Immune Reprogramming for Stroke
PHOENIX and SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2017
PHOENIX and SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CELZ) (the "Company") announced today the filing of a patent application covering a novel means of suppressing inflammation associated with stroke by reprogramming immune cells of the stroke victim.
The patent application teaches ways of using the Company's patented AmnioStem™ allogeneic stem cell to 'educate' immune cells from stroke patients so as to reduce inflammation associated with stroke. By reducing inflammation, the Company hopes to develop novel means of increasing efficacy of therapeutic agents in stroke patients.
"We are highly enthusiastic with our current data, which seems to suggest that AmnioStem™cells are not only capable of inducing regeneration of injured brains, but also can be used to 'reprogram' immune system cells of patients in order to reduce inflammation that occurs subsequent to stroke," said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology Holdings. "Working together with immunologists, neurologists, and stem cell experts, we are fortunate to have a team that can attack the problem of stroke in a multidisciplinary manner."
It is known that the immune system contributes to the deterioration of brain functions after a stroke. For example, studies in the mouse model of stroke have shown that if certain immune cells are depleted, the neurological impact of a stroke is diminished.1 It is also known that part of the therapeutic activities of stem cells in a stroke are mediated by alterations of the immune system.2
"We are confident that the novel findings presented in the patent application will pave the way for using AmnioStemTM treated patient immune cells as a means of suppressing pathological responses, which is applicable not only to strokes, but to a wide variety of neuroinflammatory conditions including multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injuries," said Thomas lchim, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Creative Medical Technology Holdings.
