Cynata Prepares for Phase 1 Clinical Trial of iPSC-derived MSC Product CYP-001
Australian stem cell company Cynata Therapeutics announced that it plans to file an application for regulatory approval within the UK to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of its iPSC-derived MSC product CYP-001 in July 2016.
This is a significant announcement, because it will be the world’s first allogeneic iPSC clinical trial.
Cynata’s Cymerus™ technology utilizes iPSCs originating from an adult donor as the starting material for generating mesenchymoangioblast (MCAs), and subsequently, for differentiating the cells into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The outcome is that Cynata can produce MSCs in unlimited quantities, in uniform batches, from a single donor, and at low cost. The company’s lead product produced using the s Cymerus™ technology is CYP-001.
This clinical trial will also be the first time that the company’s unique Cymerus technology is tested in humans.

Recently, we explored the overwhelming response received by the FDA for participation in its Part 15 Hearing intended to review “Draft Guidances Relating to the Regulation of Human Cells, Tissues or Cellular or Tissue-Based Products.”
With approximately 600 registrations and 100 people interested in presenting, it was clear that individuals across country are concerned about these draft guidances that appear to be a further restriction on stem cell therapy within the U.S.
As a result of this massive registration response, the FDA cancelled the original April 13, 2016, hearing date and announced that it would be rescheduled for an undetermined date. [Read more…]
