Genmab Announces European Marketing Authorization for the Subcutaneous Formulation of DARZALEX (daratumumab) for the Treatment of Patients with…

Company Announcement

Copenhagen, Denmark; June 4, 2020 Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) announced today that the European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization for the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of DARZALEX (daratumumab), for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma in all currently approved daratumumab intravenous (IV) formulation indications in frontline and relapsed / refractory settings. The approval follows a Positive Opinion by the CHMP of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in April 2020. The SC formulation is administered as a fixed-dose over approximately three to five minutes, significantly less time than IV daratumumab, which is given over several hours. Patients currently on daratumumab IV will have the choice to switch to the SC formulation. In August 2012, Genmab granted Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize daratumumab.

We are extremely pleased that patients in Europe with multiple myeloma will now, like patients in the U.S., have the opportunity for treatment with the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab. With consistent efficacy, and greater convenience for patients and health care providers with dosing time reduced from hours to just minutes and fewer infusion-related reactions, this formulation provides significant benefits for patients, said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab

The approval was based on data from two studies: the Phase III non-inferiority COLUMBA (MMY3012) study, which compared the SC formulation of daratumumab to the IV formulation in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and data from the Phase II PLEIADES (MMY2040) study, which is evaluating SC daratumumab in combination with certain standard multiple myeloma regimens. The topline results from the COLUMBA study were announced in February 2019 and subsequently presented in oral sessions at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and the 24th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress. Updated data of the COLUMBA and the PLEIADES studies were presented during poster sessions at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December 2019.

About the COLUMBA (MMY3012) studyThe Phase III trial (NCT03277105) is a randomized, open-label, parallel assignment study that included 522 adults diagnosed with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Patients were randomized to receive either: SC daratumumab, as 1800 mg daratumumab with rHuPH20 2000 U/mL once weekly in Cycle 1 and 2, every two weeks in Cycles 3 to 6, every 4 weeks in Cycle 7 and thereafter until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or the end of study; or 16 mg/kg IV daratumumab once weekly in Cycle 1 and 2, every two weeks in Cycles 3 to 6, every 4 weeks in Cycle 7 and thereafter until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or the end of study. The co-primary endpoints of the study are overall response rate and Maximum trough concentration of daratumumab (Ctrough; defined as the serum pre-dose concentration of daratumumab on Cycle 3 Day 1).

About the PLEIADES (MMY2040) studyThe Phase II trial (NCT03412565) is a non-randomized, open-label, parallel assignment study that includes 265 adults either newly diagnosed or with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma are being treated with 1,800 mg SC daratumumab in combination with either bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-VRd) or bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (D-VMP). Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma are being treated with 1,800 mg SC daratumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Rd). An additional cohort of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma treated with daratumumab plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone (D-Kd) was subsequently added to the study. The primary endpoint for the D-VMP, D-Kd and D-Rd cohorts is overall response rate. The primary endpoint for the D-VRd cohort is very good partial response or better rate.

About DARZALEX (daratumumab)DARZALEX (daratumumab) intravenous infusion is indicated for the treatment of adult patients in the United States: in combination with bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone as treatment for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy; in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor (PI); and as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy, including a PI and an immunomodulatory agent, or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent.1 DARZALEX is the first monoclonal antibody (mAb) to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) approval to treat multiple myeloma.

DARZALEX is indicated for the treatment of adult patients in Europe via intravenous infusion or subcutaneous administration: in combination with bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone as treatment for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; for use in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy; and as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, whose prior therapy included a PI and an immunomodulatory agent and who have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy2. Daratumumab is the first subcutaneous CD38-directed antibody approved in Europe for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The option to split the first infusion of DARZALEX over two consecutive days has been approved in both Europe and the U.S.

In Japan, DARZALEX intravenous infusion is approved for the treatment of adult patients: in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant; in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. DARZALEX is the first human CD38 monoclonal antibody to reach the market in the United States, Europe and Japan. For more information, visit http://www.DARZALEX.com.

DARZALEX FASPRO (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj), a subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab, is approved in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma: in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for ASCT; in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for ASCT and in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy; in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapy; and as monotherapy, in patients who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a PI and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent.3 DARZALEX FASPRO is the first subcutaneous CD38-directed antibody approved in the U.S. for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Daratumumab is a human IgG1k monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high affinity to the CD38 molecule, which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells. Daratumumab triggers a persons own immune system to attack the cancer cells, resulting in rapid tumor cell death through multiple immune-mediated mechanisms of action and through immunomodulatory effects, in addition to direct tumor cell death, via apoptosis (programmed cell death).1,4,5,6,7

Daratumumab is being developed by Janssen Biotech, Inc. under an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize daratumumab from Genmab. A comprehensive clinical development program for daratumumab is ongoing, including multiple Phase III studies in smoldering, relapsed and refractory and frontline multiple myeloma settings. Additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess the potential of daratumumab in other malignant and pre-malignant diseases in which CD38 is expressed, such as amyloidosis and T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Daratumumab has received two Breakthrough Therapy Designations from the U.S. FDA for certain indications of multiple myeloma, including as a monotherapy for heavily pretreated multiple myeloma and in combination with certain other therapies for second-line treatment of multiple myeloma.

Follica Announces Positive Feedback From End of Phase 2 Meeting With FDA for Its Lead Program to Treat Male Androgenetic Alopecia – Business Wire

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Follica, Inc. (Follica), a biotechnology company developing a regenerative platform designed to treat androgenetic alopecia, epithelial aging and other related conditions, today announced positive feedback from a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the company prepares to advance its lead program into Phase 3 development following a successful safety and efficacy optimization study for the treatment of hair loss in male androgenetic alopecia announced in December 2019.

Follica plans to launch its Phase 3 program this year. Overall, approximately 280 patients will be enrolled, with efficacy assessed against two co-primary endpoints: visible (non-vellus) hair count and patient-reported outcomes on a pre-established scale. The randomized, controlled, double-blinded studies will be conducted in multiple centers across the U.S. A maximal use study to further understand the pharmacokinetics of the treatment will be conducted in parallel. The trial design is consistent with feedback from the FDA during the End of Phase 2 meeting.

In the U.S. alone, 47 million men are affected by progressive hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia, a condition that is largely unresolved today, leaving many dissatisfied with the current available treatments and looking for a new alternative. Our recent safety and optimization study points to a new level of effect, enabled by our proprietary approach, which stimulates the growth of new follicles and new hair, said Jason Bhardwaj, chief executive officer of Follica. Were grateful to the FDA for their guidance as we prepare for our pivotal program, and we look forward to advancing the development of our treatment regimen, which has demonstrated strong potential to address the current need for those who seek treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

Follicas approach is based on generating an embryonic window in adult scalp cells via a series of short office-based treatments with its proprietary Hair Follicle Neogenesis (HFN) device. The scalp treatments, which last just a few minutes, stimulate stem cells and enable the growth of new hair follicles. A topical drug is then applied to enhance efficacy by growing and thickening new hair follicles and hair on the scalp.

Follica reported topline results from its safety and optimization study in December 2019. That trial was designed to select the optimal treatment regimen using Follicas proprietary HFN device in combination with a topical drug and successfully met its primary endpoint. The selected treatment regimen demonstrated a statistically significant 44% improvement of visible (non-vellus) hair count after three months of treatment compared to baseline (p < 0.001, n = 19). Across all three treatment arms, the overall improvement of visible (non-vellus) hair count after three months of treatment was 29% compared to baseline (p < 0.001, n = 48), reflecting a clinical benefit across the entire trial population and a substantially improved outcome with the optimal treatment regimen. Additionally, a prespecified analysis comparing the 44% change in visible (non-vellus) hair count to a 12% historical benchmark set by approved pharmaceutical products established statistical significance (p = 0.005).

In addition to the safety and optimization study, Follica has validated its approach in prior clinical studies using prototype HFN devices with different treatment parameters and therapeutic compounds. Follicas translational work builds on research by George Cotsarelis, M.D., who isolated and characterized the expression pattern of stem cells from a critical region of the follicle. An expert in epithelial stem cell biology, Dr. Cotsarelis is chair of the department of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-founder of Follica.

About Androgenetic AlopeciaAndrogenetic alopecia represents the most common form of hair loss in men and women, with an estimated 90 million people who are eligible for treatment in the United States alone. Only two drugs, both of which have demonstrated a 12% increase of non-vellus hair count over baseline for their primary endpoints, are currently approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia1. The most effective current approach for the treatment of hair loss is hair transplant surgery, comprising a range of invasive, expensive procedures for a subset of patients who have enough donor hair to be eligible. As a result, there remains a significant need for safe, effective, non-surgical treatments to grow new hair.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Market trends by manufacturers, states, type and application, forecast to 2019 2027 – WhaTech Technology and Markets News

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Market Trends by Manufacturers, States, Type and Application, Forecast to 2019 2027

Global Mesenchymal Stem Cells Market: Snapshot

The increasing use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment of diseases and disabilities of the growing aging population is having a positive influence on the global mesenchymal stem cells market. Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells that are of various types such as adipocytes, osteocytes, monocytes, and chondrocytes.

The main function of mesenchymal stem cells is to replace or repair damaged tissue.

Report Overview @www.transparencymarketresearch.com/mesencharket.html

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent, i.e. they can produce more than one type of specialized cells.

These specialized cells have their own distinguishing shapes, structures, and functions, with each of them belonging to a particular tissue.

Mesenchymal stem cells are traditionally found in the bone marrow. However, these cells can also be separated from other tissues such as cord blood, fallopian tube, peripheral blood, and fetal liver and lung.

Mesenchymal stem cells have long thin cell bodies containing a large nucleus. MSCs have enormous capacity for renewal keeping multipotency.

Due to these virtues, mesenchymal stem cells have huge therapeutic capacity for tissue repair.

Get Brochure of the Report @www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/p_id=26735

Mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into a number of cell types that belong to our skeletal tissues that include cartilage, bone, and fat. Research is underway to discover if mesenchymal stem cells can be used to treat bone and cartilage diseases.

Scientists are also exploring the possibility if mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into other type of cells apart from skeletal tissues. This includes nerve cells, liver cells, heart muscle cells, and endothelial cells.

This will lead to mesenchymal stem cells to be used to treat other diseases.

Stem cells are specialized cells which have the capability of renewing themselves through cell division and differentiate into multi-lineage cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non- hematopoietic, multipotent adult stem cells which can be isolated from bone marrow, cord blood, fat tissue, peripheral blood, fallopian tube, and fetal liver and lung tissue.

Mesenchymal stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into mesodermal lineages, such as chondrocytes, adipocytes, and osteocytes, and non-mesodermal lineages such as ectodermal (neurocytes) and endodermal lineages (hepatocytes). These stem cells have specific features such as multilineage potential, secretion of anti-inflammatory molecules, and immunomodulation.

These cells have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for regenerating skeletal tissues such as damaged bone and cartilage tissues and treatment of chronic diseases owing to their specific features.

The global mesenchymal stem cells market is expected to be driven by the increasing clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of chronic diseases, bone and cartilage diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Studies have shown that these stem cells enhance the angiogenesis in myocardium and allow the reduction of myocardial fibrotic area.

The pre-clinical studies for using mesenchymal stem cells in treatment of cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, and cancer are projected to create new market opportunities for mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells also produce anti-inflammatory molecules which modulate humoral and cellular immune responses.

Features of these stem cells such as ease of isolation, regenerative potential, and immunoregulatory, the mesenchymal stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising tool for the treatment of chronic diseases, degenerative, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases.

Clinical studies are exploring MSCs for various conditions such as orthopedic injuries, graft versus host disease following bone marrow transplantation, and genetic modification of MSCs to overexpress antitumor genes for use as anticancer therapy, which are exhibiting new opportunities in therapeutic area. However, the mesenchymal stem cell research studies are tedious, lengthy, and complex.

In some cases, due to some adverse effects transplanted mesenchymal stem cells rapidly removed from the body which limits use of stem cells in therapeutic treatments. The conflicting results and regulatory compliances for approvals may also hamper the growth of this market.

The global mesenchymal stem cells market is segmented on the basis of source of isolation, end-user, and region. Stem cells are isolated from the bone marrow, peripheral blood, lung tissue, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluids, adipose tissues, and synovial tissues.

Traditionally the MSCs were isolated from bone marrow aspiration which is associated with risk of infection and painful for the patient. The MSCs from adipose tissues are usually isolated from the biological material generated during liposuction, lipectomy procedures by using collagenase enzymatic digestion followed by centrifugation and washing.

In terms of end-user, the market is segmented into clinical research organizations, biotechnological companies, medical research institutes, and hospitals.

AgeX Therapeutics and ImStem Biotechnology Sign Non-Binding Letter of Intent Regarding Investigational MSC Candidate IMS001 for COVID-19 and Other…

ALAMEDA, Calif. & FARMINGTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (AgeX: NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, and ImStem Biotechnology, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hES-MSC), today announced their signing of a non-binding letter of intent for ImStem to obtain from AgeX a non-exclusive license to use AgeXs embryonic stem cell line ESI 053 to derive ImStems investigational MSC product IMS001 for development in COVID-19 as well as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to other causes. AgeX and ImStem are co-operating to finalize financial terms and other provisions of a license agreement.

ImStem has previously used AgeX ESI 053 to derive the ImStem IMS001 product which is being investigated for multiple sclerosis under an IND. Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared IMS001 to begin a Phase 1 clinical study in patients with multiple sclerosis, after a clinical hold on its Investigational New Drug (IND) application was removed. This is believed to be the first MSC product derived from human embryonic stem cells to be accepted for a clinical trial by the FDA. AgeX and ImStem already have a commercial license in place, which grants ImStem rights to use AgeXs ESI 053 to derive IMS001 as a product candidate for development in autoimmune disease, including multiple sclerosis.

To date, in patients with pneumonia and ARDS due to COVID-19, preliminary literature suggests MSCs, such as ImStems hES-MSC candidate IMS001, may warrant further development consideration. An early clinical study conducted in China by an unrelated group with a different MSC product, Transplantation of ACE2- Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves the Outcome of Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia, and published in Aging and Disease (2020, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 216-228) showed that an intravenous infusion of a different MSC product appeared safe and improved functional outcomes in seven treated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. MSCs are well recognized to be immunomodulatory in nature, possessing immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties.

Even before their application to COVID-19, MSCs were being investigated as a potential therapeutic option in ARDS, and emerging data in preclinical models has been encouraging. ARDS remains an area of considerable unmet medical need, affecting around 200,000 patients annually in the U.S., accounting for 10% of all intensive care unit patients, and having a mortality of approximately 40%. At the present time, no specific direct therapies exist for ARDS and only supportive treatment is available.

We feel privileged to be part of a global effort to combat COVID-19. This is a unique opportunity for AgeX to leverage its resources to help with the public health challenge at hand. Decades of pioneering work with human embryonic stem cells means this technology is now at a point where it may play a role in the development of a cell-based approach to combating COVID-19. We are very excited by the prospect of expanding our relationship with ImStem to include COVID-19 and ARDS, said Dr. Nafees Malik, Chief Operating Officer of AgeX.

We welcome the opportunity to continue to collaborate with AgeX and explore future development of our IMS001 product in COVID-19 and ARDS from other causes, commented Richard Kim, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of ImStem Biotechnology.

Study reveals birth defects caused by flame retardant – University of Georgia

Research focuses on mans exposure prior to contraception

A new study from the University of Georgia has shown that exposure to a now-banned flame retardant can alter the genetic code in sperm, leading to major health defects in children of exposed parents.

Published recently in Scientific Reports, the study is the first to investigate how polybrominated biphenyl-153 (PBB153), the primary chemical component of the flame retardant FireMaster, impacts paternal reproduction.

In 1973, an estimated 6.5 million Michigan residents were exposed to PBB153 when FireMaster was accidentally sent to state grain mills where it made its way into the food supply. In the decades since, a range of health problems including skin discoloration, headache, dizziness, joint pain and even some cancers have been linked to the exposure.

More striking, the children of those who were exposed seemed to experience a host of health issues as well, including reports of hernia or buildup in the scrotum for newborn sons and a higher chance of stillbirth or miscarriage among adult daughters.

Yet, little work has been done to understand how the chemical exposure could have impacted genes passed from an exposed father, said study author Katherine Greeson.

It is still a relatively new idea that a mans exposures prior to conception can impact the health of his children, said Greeson, an environmental health science doctoral student in Charles Easleys lab at UGAs College of Public Health and Regenerative Bioscience Center.

Most studies where a toxic effect is observed in children look only to the mothers and the same has been true of studies conducted on PBB153, she said.

Greeson and a team of researchers from UGA and Emory University used a unique combination of observational and laboratory approaches to demonstrate how PBB153 acted on sperm cells.

Typically, scientific studies are either epidemiological in nature and inherently observational or focus on bench science, but in this study, we did both, said Greeson.

This approach allowed the researchers to mimic the known blood exposure levels of PBB153 in a lab environment.

We were uniquely able to recreate this effect using our previously characterized human stem cell model for spermatogenesis, she said, which allowed us to study the mechanism that causes this effect in humans.

The team looked at the expression of different genes in their human spermatogenesis model after dosing with PBB153 and found marked alterations in gene expression between dosed and undosed cells, specifically at genes important to development, such as embryonic organ, limb, muscle, and nervous system development.

PBB153 causes changes to the DNA in sperm in a way that changes how the genes are turned on and off, said Greeson. PBB153 seems to turn on these genes in sperm which should be turned off, said Greeson, which may explain some of the endocrine-related health issues observed in the children of exposed parents.

Though the study used this model to directly replicate exposure to PBB153, Greeson says this approach could be used to better understand the impact of other environmental exposures on reproduction, including large-scale accidental exposures to toxic chemicals or everyday exposures.

Hopefully this work will lead to more studies combining epidemiology and bench science in the future, which will tell us more about why were seeing an effect from an environmental exposure in human populations and encourage experimental studies to more closely mimic human exposures, she said.

The study, Detrimental Effects of Flame Retardant, PBB153, Exposure on Sperm and Future Generations, published May 22. It is available online.

According to the Persistence Market Research report, the globalcanine stem cell therapy marketis expected to witness a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2017-2026. In 2017, the market was valued at US$ 151.4 Mn and is expected to rise to a valuation of US$ 218.2 Mn by the end of 2026.

Burgeoning Prevalence of Chronic Diseases in Dogs to Benefit Market

Adipose Stem Cells (ASCs) are the most prevalent and in-demand adult stem cells owing to their safety profile, ease of harvest, and use and the ability to distinguish into multiple cell lineages. Most early clinical research is focused on adipose stem cells to treat various chronic diseases such as arthritis, tendonitis, lameness, and atopic dermatitis in dogs.

A large area of focus in veterinary medicine is treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs, which becomes more prevalent with age. Globally, more than 20% dogs are suffering from arthritis, which is a common form of canine joint and musculoskeletal disease. Out of those 20%, merely 5% seem to receive the treatment.

However, elbow dysplasia in canine registered a prevalence rate of 64%, converting it into an alarming disease condition to be treated on priority. Thereby, with the growing chronic disorders in canine, the demand for stem cell therapy is increasing at a significant pace.

Expensive Nature of Therapy to Obstruct Growth Trajectory

Expensive nature and limited access to canine stem cell therapy has demonstrated to be a chief hindrance forestalling its widespread adoption. The average tier II and tier III veterinary hospitals lack the facilities and expertise to perform stem cell procedures, which necessitates the referral to a specialty vet hospital with expertise veterinarians.

A trained veterinary physician charges high treatment cost associated with stem cell therapy for dogs. Generally, dog owners have pet insurance that typically covers maximum cost associated with steam cell therapy to treat the initial injury but for the succeeding measures in case of retreatment, the costs are not covered under the pet insurance. The stem cell therapy is thus cost-prohibitive for a large number of pet owners, which highlights a major restraint to the market growth. Stem cell therapy is still in its developmental stage and a positive growth outcome for the market cannot be confirmed yet.
