Oh, I see what helped get them going: 8:02AM StemCells announces filing of IND for human neural stem cell transplant treatment (STEM) 4.11: Co announced the filing of its first Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA. Subject to approval, the Company plans to begin its first clinical investigation of its human neural (brain) stem cells (HuCNS-SC - StemCells' proprietary neural cell therapy product) in Batten disease. Batten disease is a rare, fatal genetic disorder that affects the central nervous system of children. If approved by the FDA, this would mark the first-ever FDA-approved clinical trial to use a purified composition of human neural stem cells as the potential therapeutic agent.
