BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA) has been granted US Patent No. 12,311,127 for its Helix biotherapeutic delivery system, a minimally invasive catheter technology for delivering biological therapies to specific sites in the heart. The patent, titled "Radial and Trans-endocardial Delivery Catheter", protects the company's helical needle-tipped catheter technology platform.
According to scientific literature, this technology represents the safest and most efficient approach for biotherapeutic delivery to the heart. The system is crucial for BioCardia's CardiAMP Cell Therapy development program, targeting patients with ischemic cardiomyopathies of heart failure and refractory angina.
BioCardia (NASDAQ:BCDA), a developer of cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, announced its CEO Peter Altman's participation in a fireside chat at the A.G.P.

BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA) has announced the initiation of patient enrollment at the University of Wisconsin at Madison for its pivotal Phase 3 CardiAMP HF II trial. The study is evaluating the CardiAMP™ Cell Therapy Product for treating patients with ischemic heart failure of reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and elevated markers of cardiac stress.
Dr. Amish Raval, Professor of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, will serve as Site Principal Investigator and Co-National Principal Investigator. The minimally invasive autologous approach has shown promising results, avoiding the need for immune suppression while preserving therapeutic options including heart transplant for patients.
BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA) has received positive safety review from the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for its CardiALLO-HF allogeneic cell therapy trial for heart failure. The DSMB recommended proceeding with the study as designed, following assessment of 30-day safety data from the initial 20 million cell dosing cohort.
The trial showed no treatment emergent major adverse cardiac events or clinical evidence of immune reactions to the allogeneic cells. The company plans to expand enrollment to 39 participants across the United States.
The CardiALLO HF trial at high dosage is expected to deliver at least double the effective dosage compared to previous studies and will uniquely target patients with active inflammation. Earlier clinical results from the TRIDENT trial demonstrated that higher MSC cell dosages reduced myocardial scar and increased left ventricular ejection fraction.
BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA) announces the initiation of patient enrollment at Emory University School of Medicine for its pivotal Phase III CardiAMP HF II trial. The study evaluates the CardiAMP™ Cell Therapy product for treating ischemic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and elevated cardiac stress markers.
Dr. Arshed Quyyumi, Professor of Medicine at Emory's Division of Cardiology and Co-Director of the Emory Clinical Cardiovascular Research Institute, will serve as Principal Investigator. The trial compares CardiAMP Therapy, which involves harvesting and delivering autologous mononuclear cells to enhance microvascular density and reduce fibrosis, against a placebo procedure.
The study, which includes multiple clinical sites across the United States, aims for completion in 2027. Recent trial results presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions showed compelling benefits for treated patients.
BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA), a leader in cardiovascular and pulmonary disease therapeutics, has announced a correction to their conference call timing for discussing two-year CardiAMP-HF results. The call is scheduled for March 31, 2025, at 4:30 PM EDT, not PDT as previously stated.
U.S. participants can call 1-833-316-0559, while international callers should dial 1-412-317-5730. Pre-registration is available at dpregister.com/sreg/10194429/fdf5f0e427.

BioCardia (NASDAQ: BCDA) announced two-year outcomes from its Phase 3 CardiAMP-HF study, evaluating CardiAMP autologous cell therapy for ischemic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. The trial, involving 115 patients across 18 centers in the US and Canada, showed promising results.
In patients with elevated NTproBNP biomarkers (50% of enrolled patients), the therapy demonstrated:
- 13% fewer heart death equivalents with 47% relative risk reduction
- 2% fewer non-fatal major adverse cardiac events with 16% risk reduction
- 10.5-point improvement in quality-of-life scores
Overall results showed 3.6% fewer heart death equivalents, 8.7% fewer non-fatal adverse events, and meaningful quality of life improvements. The FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy incorporates three proprietary elements: pre-procedural cell analysis, high target cell dosage, and a minimally-invasive delivery system.
