BioRestorative Therapies, Inc., a clinical stage company with a focus on stem cell-based therapies, has recently announced a new partnership with Bruder Consulting & Venture Group (BCVG). This strategic alliance aims to seek FDA approval for the expansion of the clinical application of BRTX-100, BioRestorative's lead clinical candidate.
Bruder Consulting & Venture Group's Role
BCVG, a full-service strategic advisory firm with a focus on biologics, tissue repair, biomaterials, and regenerative medicine, has been engaged to help BioRestorative navigate the complex regulatory pathway to gain FDA approval for expanded clinical indications of BRTX-100.
"BCVG brings a tremendous amount of domain expertise in managing the regulatory pathway for cellular therapies. We look forward to leveraging their deep industry insights and expertise." - Lance Alstodt, CEO of BioRestorative
BRTX-100: The Lead Clinical Candidate
BRTX-100 is a novel cell-based therapy designed to target areas of the body with little blood flow. This innovative therapeutic is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial related to chronic lumbar disc disease (cLDD).
The trial is prospective, randomized, double-blinded, and controlled.
The goal is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single dose of BRTX-100.
A specific release criteria of 40 million cells intradiscally injected into the nucleus of the lumbar disc is being tested.
Up to 99 eligible patients at up to 15 clinical sites in the United States will be involved in the trial.
The Promising Partnership
This partnership represents a significant step forward for BioRestorative. Not only will BCVG's expertise in the regulatory pathway for cellular therapies prove invaluable, but also the opportunity to expand the use of this musculoskeletal platform across other indications within the body is an exciting prospect.
The BCVG team brings over 300 years of collective expertise in orthopedics, spine, wound care, and plastic/reconstructive surgery, having worked with numerous companies in biologics, device, and cell-based technologies.
