Pre-specified interim analysis to occur six months post-treatment
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. (July 19, 2017) – Caladrius Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLBS) (“Caladrius” or the “Company”), a development stage biopharmaceutical company with multiple technology platforms targeting autoimmune and select cardiology indications, announces that 50% of subjects have been treated in The Sanford Project: T-Rex Study, a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Company’s CLBS03 as a treatment for recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). A pre-specified interim analysis of early therapeutic effect will occur after the six-month post-treatment follow-up visit, with results expected to be announced in late 2017 or early 2018. This complete study will enroll a total of approximately 111 subjects age 8 to 17.
CLBS03 is a personalized autologous cell therapy consisting of each patient's own regulatory T cells, or Tregs, which have been expanded in number and functionally enhanced by a proprietary method developed through a collaboration with Jeffrey Bluestone, Ph.D. and renowned researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Caladrius holds exclusive rights to an international portfolio of issued and pending patents related to this method.
“We are very pleased to have reached this treatment milestone in our landmark study in T1D and look forward to having the preliminary data around year end. The T-Rex study is being conducted at 10 leading clinical centers throughout the U.S. whose strong interest has allowed us to enroll and treat patients rapidly. We are excited to be advancing this novel T1D therapeutic approach and look forward to treating the second half of study subjects, building on the encouraging earlier data and completing the interim analysis that may inform us as to the initial therapeutic effects of CLBS03 on adolescents with early onset T1D,” noted David J. Mazzo, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Caladrius Biosciences.
Enrollment of the 70th subject in the study, which is expected to occur this summer, will trigger a $2.4 million cash payment with the delivery of an additional 508,475 shares of Caladrius common stock to investors pursuant to the terms of the September 2016 private placements.
Stephen E. Gitelman, MD, a leading pediatric endocrinologist at UCSF, is chairman of the executive steering committee for the T-Rex Study. Dr. Gitelman, along with Kevan Herold, MD at Yale University, conducted a Phase 1 study funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on what is now known as CLBS03 that demonstrated Treg therapy to be well tolerated, durable and preserving of beta cell function in children. This study was published in Clinical Immunology. Two-year results from that study[1] provided evidence for safety and tolerability of autologous expanded polyclonal Treg cell therapy in 14 adults with recent-onset T1D. Additionally, the Tregs retained their T cell receptor diversity and demonstrated enhanced functional activity. These two-year data were published in November 2016 in the peer-reviewed journal Translational Medicine.
CLBS03 has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track designation, European Medicines Agency’s Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Product classification and FDA Orphan Drug designation as a potential new treatment for recent-onset type 1 diabetes.
