Caladrius Biosciences Licenses Dermatology Cell Technology to AiVita Biomedical
Caladrius to Receive Royalties on Product Sales Following Commercial Launch of Topical Skin Product
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. (Feb. 17, 2016) – Caladrius Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLBS) (“Caladrius” or the “Company”), a cell therapy company combining an industry-leading development and manufacturing services provider (PCT) with a select therapeutic product pipeline, has licensed exclusive global rights to its cell-derived dermatological technology for topical skin applications to AiVita Biomedical, Inc. (“AiVita”). This transaction supports the Company’s strategy to monetize non-core assets.
AiVita is a biotechnology company created to advance commercial and clinical stage programs utilizing curative and regenerative medicines. The company was founded in 2016 by Dr. Hans Keirstead, Caladrius’ former Chief Science Officer, and expects to manufacture and distribute a cosmetic skincare product based on the licensed technology for commercial sale beginning in the second quarter of 2016 through ALPHAEON Corporation (“ALPHAEON”). ALPHAEON, a social commerce company in lifestyle healthcare, has an established board-certified physician community of more than 10,000 members coupled with e-commerce capabilities. Caladrius will receive royalties on net sales.
“Licensing this dermatological technology to AiVita is yet another step forward in streamlining our strategic focus while monetizing non-core assets through royalty- and/or other milestone-driven transactions. In this case, the technology fits neither the type nor the scope of manufacturing that is the basis of PCT’s business,” said David J. Mazzo, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Caladrius. “We look forward to ALPHAEON’s launch of this product and to sharing in its economic success.”
