Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. develops regenerative medicine and immune-cell therapies as a clinical-stage biotechnology company trading under CELZ. Company news centers on CELZ-201, or olastrocel, an allogeneic/perinatal tissue-derived cell therapy evaluated in the FDA-cleared ADAPT trial for chronic lower back pain associated with degenerative disc disease, and on platform extensions such as Ultrasome for knee osteoarthritis.
Recurring updates also cover WHO International Nonproprietary Name activity for cell-therapy assets, CELZ-101 Treg immunotherapy work, and BioDefense Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary focused on burn pit exposure research using iPSC technology, AI-enabled molecular modeling, and regenerative countermeasure development.
Creative Medical Technology (NASDAQ: CELZ) reported completion of enrollment and treatment across all FDA-cleared cohorts of the ADAPT trial evaluating CELZ-201 / Olastrocel for chronic lower back pain, including an opioid-use expansion cohort. The study now transitions from active enrollment to follow-up, data maturation and regulatory planning.
According to the company, prior ADAPT data showed a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events, a mean ODI functional improvement of −15.3 percentage points and a mean pain reduction of −3.9 points at 180 days, with about 79% of patients achieving clinically meaningful gains in both measures. Creative Medical expects ADAPT-related enrollment and treatment costs to decrease, which it believes should help preserve capital and extend its operating runway as it prepares for potential RMAT evaluation and Phase 3 discussions with the FDA for a broader chronic lower back pain indication.
Creative Medical Technology Holdings (NASDAQ: CELZ) received a USPTO Notice of Allowance for U.S. patent application 17/931,868 titled “Suppression of Diabetes Using Exosomes From Stem Cell Programmed Myeloid Cells.” The patent covers cell-free MyeloCelz™ exosome technology designed to induce antigen-specific immune tolerance and suppress autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in Type 1 diabetes.
The allowed claims include use of these exosomes alone or with tolerance-promoting agents such as antibodies, cellular therapies and small molecules. According to Creative Medical, this patent strengthens a multi-layered IP estate supporting its diabetes portfolio, including CELZ-201 for newly diagnosed T1D, CELZ-101 with FDA Orphan Drug Designation for brittle T1D, and CELZ-001 for late-stage Type 2 diabetes. The company reports approximately 60 issued and pending patents overall, including seven issued U.S. patents and 39 pending U.S. applications, and plans to advance clinical programs and explore licensing and partnership opportunities.
