ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2013-- BioTime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BTX), today announced that William Tew, Ph.D., BioTime’s Chief Commercial Officer will provide an update on the development of Renevia™ at an investor meeting in New York City. In his presentation, Dr. Tew will announce that enrollment in a safety trial evaluating Renevia™, a proprietary injectable matrix designed to facilitate the stable engraftment of transplanted cells, is complete.
The ten healthy volunteers each received one subcutaneous injection of Renevia™ without cells. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the safety, tolerability, and acceptance of Renevia™ without cells as determined by monitoring subjects for any post-treatment reactions. Examinations of the subjects after they received Renevia™ injections have shown that Renevia™ was well-tolerated by all subjects with no serious adverse events or subject withdrawals. A final check of the enrolled subjects for adverse events will be made four weeks after the injection.
The Renevia™ safety study was initiated on October 7, 2013 at The Stem Center (www.stem-center.com) in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, an innovative patient therapy center, laboratory, and professional research facility located within the world-class hospital Clinica USP Palmaplanas in Palma. The Medical Director of the Center is Dr. Ramon Lull, MD, PhD, a leading expert on advanced regenerative therapies based on adipose technology. The Stem Center is owned and operated by the GID Group, Inc., Louisville, CO, USA.
Subsequent clinical studies are planned to document the efficacy of Renevia™ as a delivery matrix for adipose cells to restore normal skin contours in patients where the subcutaneous adipose tissue has been lost to lipoatrophy, beginning with HIV related facial lipoatrophy. Lipoatrophy is a localized loss of fat beneath the skin. Lipoatrophy is often a consequence of the normal aging process where the loss of fat in the cheeks or the back of the hands contributes to an aged appearance, but lipoatrophy can also be associated with trauma, surgery, and diseases, and is frequently suffered by HIV patients being treated with anti-viral drugs. According to published estimates, at least several hundred thousand patients in Europe, and a similar number in the U.S., are affected by lipoatrophy and related conditions such as lipodystrophy. These patients have very limited treatment options and these conditions therefore represent a significant unmet medical need. BioTime’s plans to proceed with additional clinical trials are subject to obtaining required regulatory and institutional approvals.
Renevia™ is manufactured in the US in compliance with cGMP requirements and has been tested pursuant to ISO 10993 standards for implantable medical devices and shown to be biocompatible without adverse effects in animal studies.
