A Timeline of Landmark Events in the Stem Cell Industry

By Leave a Comment

Research and experimentation have been driving progress within the stem cell industry for decades. Despite major advances in stem cell knowledge, current medical approaches still rely heavily on pharmaceuticals and a surgeon’s scalpel. There is irony in the term “modern” medicine, because its central focus has largely been to address symptoms and not underlying medical issues. “Diabetic? No problem, we can regulate your insulin.”

Under our current framework for medicine, regenerative medicine has not played a central role.

U.S. FDA Approved RMATs on the Rise

By Leave a Comment

With recent news from Sangamo Therapeutics and Krystal Biotech, the count of announced RMAT (“Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy”) designations has risen to 30.

Krystal Biotech received an RMAT designation for its gene therapy KB103 on June 24, 2019. KB103 is being studied for its wound closure capacity in patients with severe generalized recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (“RDEB”). The FDA also granted a RMAT designation for Sangamo Therapeutics’ SB-525, an investigational gene therapy being developed in collaboration with Pfizer to treat severe hemophilia A. SB-525 is the first hemophilia A gene therapy to receive RMAT designation. [Read more…]

RegMed Innovative Spikes on Heels of CAR-T, Gene Therapy, & Digital Pill Approvals

By Leave a Comment

The regenerative medicine industry is a high-value, fast-growth market. With two CAR-T approvals, as well as the first gene therapy and digital pill approvals in the United States, we have had a lot of FDA “firsts.”

The market gathered momentum when the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis made history as the first company to win FDA approval for a CAR-T cell therapy in the U.S. in August 2017 (Kymriah). In October 2017, Kite Pharma became the second company to get FDA approval of a CAR-T cell therapy (Yescarta), further “snowballing” the effect.

How iPSCs are Becoming an Emerging Area of Stem Cell Research

By Leave a Comment

Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2006, a large and diverse market for iPSC research tools has emerged. Included below is a ten-year history of iPSC grants (source: RePORT.NIH.gov), clinical trials (source: ClinicalTrials.gov), and scientific publications (source: PubMed.gov).

Both graphs below reveal the iPSC market is expanding. [Read more…]
