Research and Discovery
CLBS is combining state-of-the-art science with the body’s intricate biologic systems, and are working to leverage our bodies’ development of cell capabilities with complex and specific functions.CLBS believes that each study we perform expands the foundations of cell therapy and biologic science and believe that our research and discovery will have meaningful and lasting influence. CLBS pledges to use its experience and knowledge to advance science, research and development.
Patients
CLBS conducts all of our work in order to ultimately benefit the patients who put their trust and hope in our hands. CLBS will continue to pursue therapies in areas of significant unmet medical need so that we can have the greatest impact on them. CLBS knows it won’t be easy, but we are committed to striving to successfully guide its product candidates through the development process in order that they may ultimately reach and serve the patients.
Education
The cell therapy industry needs credible sources disseminating information. We pledge to be that credible source, promoting ethical science and ethical business, and playing an educational role in bringing cell therapy to the public which includes dispelling controversy, decreasing confusion and increasing awareness of cellular therapies and their potential to heal the body and fight disease.
Development Highlights
NeoStem is a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry, pursuing the preservation and enhancement of human health globally through the development of cell based therapeutics that prevent, treat or cure disease by repairing and replacing damaged or aged tissue, cells and organs and restoring their normal function.
The business includes the development of novel proprietary cell therapy products as well as a revenue-generating contract development and manufacturing service business. This combination has created an organization with unique capabilities for cost effective in-house product development and immediate revenue and cash flow generation.
The CLBS mission is to transform the future of medicine with innovative cell based therapies while providing development and manufacturing services that drive the industry forward. CLBS is committed to showing the world the path to better medicine. CLBS’s goal is to reduce a lifetime dependency on pills to a single dose of cells and help society reduce the burden of an unsustainable healthcare system. The CLBS vision is a world where chronic disease is a problem of the past and patients have the freedom to enjoy a healthier span of life. CLBS truly believe that cell therapies will be better medicine.
Caladrius Biosciences is leading the paradigm shift in modern medicine towards cell therapy – a shift away from treating disease with drugs and toward treating disease with the body’s own cells. Since 2006, Caladrius Biosciences has been led by physician and business executive Dr. Robin L. Smith and now Dr. David J. Mazzo, Phd. Dr. Mazzo and his team saw the potential to take part in this shift by developing the cell therapies that will potentially change the way that we treat illness and chronic disease. Just as the cell therapy industry has grown and developed over the past decade, CBLS too has transformed itself through a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions. First focusing on adult stem cells, and then expanding into therapeutics that work with other cell sources, CBLS has seized upon the opportunity to be more than just a participant in the emerging cell therapy industry, instead choosing to be a driving force for growth and advancement in cell therapy research, development and manufacturing.
For more than 15 years, PCT (now a CBLS subsidiary) has been providing market-leading contract development and manufacturing services to a wide range of clients in the regenerative medicine industry. With CBLS’s acquisition of PCT in 2011, CBLS gained access for its products to PCT’s world-class development expertise and manufacturing capabilities, as well as to a unique platform offering experience with multiple cell types. Also in 2011, CBLS acquired the technologies for its Ischemic Repair Program and Immune Modulation Program, expanding the Company’s development pipeline. In 2014 CBLS’s pipeline expanded further with its acquisition of California Stem Cell, creating the Company’s Targeted Cancer Immunotherapy Program and beginning CBLS’s investigation into cancer therapeutics. Along the way, the Company has sustained its successful growth by investing in a management team of seasoned industry executives and adding clinical programs for new indications.
A Portfolio of Cell Therapy Products In Development That Leverages The Body’s Natural Ability To Heal And Fight Disease
Five (5) issued patents and 35 pending patents in the US and OUS with covergae including:
- Stem Cell Growth, Generation and Use
- Antigen-presenting cancer vaccines
- Individualized high-purity carcinoma indicating stem cells
- Rapid methods to produce high purity cancer initiating (stem) cells)
Using T Regulatory Cell Technology. Exclusive Rights to twenty-three (23) issued patents and nine (9) pending patents covering isolation, activation, expansion and methods of treating or preventing certain conditions and/or diseases using Tregs in the US and International markets. This includes the composition of matter patents and method patents.
TREG Therapy represents a novel approach for restoring Immune Balance by enhancing T-regulatory cell number and function
Broad and growing patent portfolio supports cardiac conditions and a broad range of other conditions caused by underlying ischemia, including the composition of matter and method patents. Ishemia occors when the supply of oxinated blood is restricted. The program seeks to reverse this restriction thorugh the developemnt and formation of new blood vessels. CD34/CXCR4 expressing cells have been shown to be capable of inducing the development and formation of new blood vessels and thus preventing heart cell death. The same natural repair mechanism applies to multiple areas of vascular insiffcinecy such as:
- Acute myocardial infarction
- Traumatic brain injury
- Chronic heart failure
- Crticial limb ischemia
First Target Indication
