About Renevia®
Renevia® is an investigational medical device that is being developed as an alternative for whole adipose tissue transfer (fat grafting) procedures. Renevia’s® hydrogel polymer network provides the requisite amino acid sequences for adipose stromal vascular cell attachment and may support proliferation, localization and adipogenic differentiation. Renevia® is part of the Hystem® hydrogel family of proprietary injectable matrices, which are designed to facilitate the survival and growth of transplanted cells.
About
BioTime is a late stage clinical biotechnology company focused on
developing and commercializing products addressing degenerative
diseases. The Company’s current clinical programs are targeting three
primary sectors, aesthetics, ophthalmology and cell and drug delivery.
Its clinical programs are based on two platform technologies:
pluripotent cells, which can become any type of cell in the human body,
and cell/drug delivery. Renevia®, a cell delivery product,
met its primary endpoint in an EU pivotal clinical trial for the
treatment of facial lipoatrophy in HIV patients earlier this year.
Submission for approval of Renevia® in the EU is expected to
be early 2018, with possible approval and commercial launch in 2018.
There were no device related serious adverse events reported. OpRegen®,
a retinal pigment epithelium transplant therapy, is in a Phase I/IIa
multicenter trial for the treatment of dry age-related macular
degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in developing countries.
There were no related serious adverse events reported. BioTime also has
significant equity holdings in two publicly traded companies, Asterias
Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: AST) and
