DUBLIN--( BUSINESS WIRE )--The "Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Industry Report - Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts, 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This global strategic report reveals all major market competitors worldwide, including their core technologies, strategic partnerships, and products under development. It covers the current status of iPSC research, biomedical applications, manufacturing technologies, patents, and funding events, as well as all known trials for the development of iPSC-derived cell therapeutics worldwide. Importantly, it profiles leading market competitors worldwide and presents a comprehensive market size breakdown for iPSCs by Application, Technology, Cell Type, and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, and Rest of World). It also presents total market size figures with projected growth rates through 2030. Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology in 2006, significant progress has been made in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. New pathological mechanisms have been identified and explained, new drugs identified by iPSC screens are in the pipeline, and the first clinical trials employing human iPSC-derived cell types have been initiated. iPSCs can be used to explore the causes of disease onset and progression, create and test new drugs and therapies, and treat previously incurable diseases. Today, methods of commercializing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) include: Cellular Therapy: iPSCs are being explored in a diverse range of cell therapy applications for the purpose of reversing injury or disease. Disease Modelling: By generating iPSCs from patients with disorders of interest and differentiating them into disease-specific cells, iPSCs can effectively create disease models "in a dish". Drug Development and Discovery: iPSCs have the potential to transform drug discovery by providing physiologically relevant cells for compound identification, target validation, compound screening, and tool discovery. Personalized Medicine: The use of techniques such as CRISPR enable precise, directed creation of knock-outs and knock-ins (including single base changes) in many cell types. Pairing iPSCs with genome editing technologies is adding a new dimension to personalized medicine. Toxicology Testing: iPSCs can be used for toxicology screening, which is the use of iPSCs or their derivatives (tissue-specific cells) to assess the safety of compounds or drugs within living cells. Tissue Engineering: iPSCs can be seeded onto scaffolds made from biocompatible materials. These scaffolds mimic the structure and properties of the target tissue and can provide a supportive environment for cell growth and differentiation. Organoid Production: iPS cells can be coaxed to self-organize into 3D structures called organoids, which mimic the structure and function of organs. Organoids can be used for studying organ development, modeling diseases, and testing drugs. Gene Editing: iPS cells can be genetically modified using techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 to correct disease-causing mutations or introduce specific genetic changes. These edited iPS cells can then be differentiated into the desired cell type for transplantation or disease modeling. Research Tools: iPSCs and iPSC-derived cell types are being widely used within a diverse range of basic and applied research applications. Stem Cell Banking: iPSC repositories provide researchers with the opportunity to investigate a diverse range of conditions using iPSC-derived cell types produced from both healthy and diseased donors. Cultured Meat Production: iPSCs are being utilized in clean meat production by serving as the cellular foundation for the creation of lab-grown meat. 3D Bioprinting: iPSCs can be directed to differentiate into cell types of interest, such as skin, heart, or liver cells, which are then incorporated into bioinks. Wildlife Conservation and De-extinction Projects: iPSCs are being used in wildlife conservation and de-extinction projects. For example, Colossal Biosciences is using iPSC technology in an effort to achieve woolly mammoth de-extinction. Key Topics Covered: 1. REPORT OVERVIEW 2. INTRODUCTION 3.

Two-year overall survival rate in patients with steroid-resistant acute GvHD was 60% MELBOURNE, Australia, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: " CYP", "Cynata", or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specialising in cell therapeutics, is pleased to announce the publication of two-year follow-up data of CYP-001 in patients with steroid-resistant acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD) in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Nature Medicine. CYP-001 is Cynata's Cymerus™ off-the-shelf iPSC[1]-derived MSC[2] product for intravenous infusion, which is being investigated as a potential immune modulating treatment. Graft versus host disease (GvHD) is a potentially life-threatening complication in recipients of bone marrow transplantation or similar procedures. It arises when immune cells in the transplant (the graft) attack the recipient's tissues (the host) as "foreign". SR-aGvHD occurs when there is no response to corticosteroid treatment, which is the standard first-line treatment for aGvHD. The newly published paper reports sustained outcomes at the two-year follow-up in the Phase 1 clinical trial of CYP-001 in patients with SR-aGvHD. Key results include a two-year overall survival rate of 60% (9/15 patients), with no treatment-related serious adverse events or safety concerns identified. This survival rate compares very favourably to previously reported outcomes in SR-aGvHD. For example, in the Phase 3 study that supported approval of the drug ruxolitinib, the 18-month overall survival rates were only 38% in the ruxolitinib group and 36% in the "best available treatment" control group (survival at two years was not evaluable).[3] Historically the prognosis in patients with SR‑aGvHD has been very poor, with two-year overall survival rates below 20%.[4] The details of the paper are as follows: Kelly K, Bloor AJC, Griffin JE, Radia R, Yeung DT, and Rasko JEJ. Two-year safety outcomes of iPSC-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in acute steroid-resistant graft versus host disease. Nat Med, 2024, The two-year follow-up results build on the highly encouraging primary evaluation results at Day 100, which included Complete Response and Overall Response rates of 53% and 87%, respectively. The original paper summarising the primary evaluation results was published in Nature Medicine in 2020.[5] Professor John Rasko, AO,[6] the international coordinating Principal Investigator for the trial, said: "The publication of a second paper on this trial in such a high-impact journal is a testament to the importance of this project to the wider field of cellular therapy. This was the first ever completed clinical trial worldwide involving iPSC-derived cells of any kind. The overall survival outcomes and safety data in this group of patients are very promising, and we look forward to the continued development of Cymerus MSCs, in particular the ongoing global Phase 2 trial in aGvHD. [7] More broadly, our demonstration of the safe clinical use of iPSC-derived cells anticipates their application in diverse human diseases and regenerative medicine." Authorised for release by Dr Kilian Kelly, CEO & Managing Director About Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP) Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP) is an Australian clinical-stage stem cell and regenerative medicine company focused on the development of therapies based on Cymerus™, a proprietary therapeutic stem cell platform technology. Cymerus™ overcomes the challenges of other production methods by using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and a precursor cell known as mesenchymoangioblast (MCA) to achieve economic manufacture of cell therapy products, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), at commercial scale without the limitation of multiple donors. Cynata's lead product candidate CYP-001 met all clinical endpoints and demonstrated positive safety and efficacy data for the treatment of steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in a Phase 1 trial. A Phase 2 clinical trial in GvHD under a cleared US FDA IND, as well as trials of Cymerus products in osteoarthritis (Phase 3) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are currently ongoing, while a trial in renal transplant is expected to commence in the near future. In addition, Cynata has also demonstrated utility of its Cymerus technology in preclinical models of numerous diseases, including critical limb ischaemia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, heart attack, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cytokine release syndrome.

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: " CYP", "Cynata", or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specialising in cell therapeutics, is pleased to announce the completion of patient enrolment in its Phase 1 clinical trial of CYP-006TK in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). CYP-006TK is Cynata's Cymerus™ iPSC[1]-derived MSC[2] topical wound dressing product candidate, which comprises MSCs seeded onto a novel silicon dressing. Due to reduced blood flow, patients with diabetes are at risk of developing non-healing wounds on the feet/lower limbs, which are also known as DFU. In addition to causing severe pain and discomfort, DFU pose a significant risk of infection, and if therapy is unsuccessful, amputation may be necessary. In this trial, CYP-006TK is being investigated as a potential treatment to promote wound healing in patients with DFU. The pre-specified sample size has now been reached, with a total of 30 patients with DFU randomised on a 1:1 basis to receive either: (i) CYP‑006TK treatment for four weeks, followed by standard of care treatment for the rest of the study; or (ii) standard of care treatment throughout the study. In accordance with the study protocol, patients will be followed for 24 weeks following treatment initiation, which means that the last patient visit in this trial is expected to occur around September 2024. Dr Jolanta Airey MD, Cynata's Chief Medical Officer, said: "We are delighted to have completed enrolment, and we extend our thanks to all of the investigators, study staff and patients for helping us to achieve this milestone. We recently announced very encouraging initial data from the first 16 patients enrolled in this trial after 10 weeks' follow-up, with a median percentage reduction in wound surface area of 87.6% in the active CYP-006TK group, compared to 51.1% in the control group. We now look forward to completing the follow-up period and releasing the full results from this study shortly thereafter." -ENDS- Authorised for release by Dr Kilian Kelly, CEO & Managing Director About Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP) Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP) is an Australian clinical-stage stem cell and regenerative medicine company focused on the development of therapies based on Cymerus™, a proprietary therapeutic stem cell platform technology.
