BioRestorative Therapies to Present Preliminary BRTX-100 Clinical Data at the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) 2024 Annual Meeting
February 01 2024 - 7:30AM
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (“BioRestorative”, “BRTX” or the
“Company”) (NASDAQ:BRTX), a clinical stage company focused on stem
cell-based therapies, today announced that preliminary 26–52 week
blinded data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of BRTX-100 in
subjects with chronic lumbar disc disease (“cLDD”) will be
presented by Francisco Silva, Vice President of Research and
Development, at the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) 2024 Annual
Meeting, taking place February 2-6, 2024 in Long Beach, California.
BRTX-100, a novel cell-based therapeutic
engineered to target areas of the body that have little blood flow,
is the Company’s lead clinical candidate. The safety and efficacy
of BRTX-100 in treating cLDD is being evaluated in a Phase 2,
prospective, randomized, double-blinded and controlled study. A
total of up to 99 eligible subjects will be enrolled at up to 16
clinical sites in the United States. Subjects included in the trial
will be randomized 2:1 to receive either BRTX-100 or placebo.
The presentation, titled “Autologous Stem Cell
Therapy for Chronic Lumbar Disc Disease, Initial Phase 2 Clinical
Safety and Feasibility Data of Intradiscal Injections of Hypoxic
Cultured Mesenchymal Stem Cells,” is scheduled for Sunday, February
4, 2024 between 10:15am-11:15am PST.
“We are excited by this opportunity to share,
for the very first time, preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 2
clinical trial of BRTX-100 in the treatment of cLDD,” said Lance
Alstodt, Chief Executive Officer of BioRestorative. “As interest in
the potential clinical benefits of BRTX-100 grows, it is important
that we continue to drive awareness of this novel therapeutic
candidate amongst researchers, regulators and clinicians through
clinical presentations at important meetings like ORS.”

About BioRestorative Therapies,
Inc.
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
(www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell
and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two
core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of
disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders:
• Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell
therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from
autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells
collected from the patient’s bone marrow. We intend that the
product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful
lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complementary therapeutic to a
surgical procedure. The BRTX-100 production process
utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patient’s
bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone
marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient
procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into
the patient’s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients
whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and
who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have commenced a
Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic
lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease.
• Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are
developing a cell-based therapy candidate to target obesity and
metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to
generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic
naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic
homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that
increased amounts of brown fat in animals may be responsible for
additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid
levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of
brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and
diabetes.
