CEO Comment
"The FDA Pre-IND meeting brings us closer to a unified ischemia-based clinical trial program," stated Thomas Smeenk, CEO. "It makes sense to address ischemia in multiple indications, given our success rate in these conditions as published in 11 peer reviewed articles. Why a Phase I clinical trial? First, Lantrida, an allogenic stem cell treatment, was approved on phase I only data. That is a precedent. Second, we can charge patients to be studied (treated) and followed. Third, we can publish the interim results and end points, comparing improvements in cognition (vascular dementia), LVEF% (ICM), wound healing (PAD), reduction of pain (general ischemia, ICM + PAD), and improvement in quality of life (all indications) for all participants. Plus, it generates a protocol for all patients who are treated, who do not meet inclusion criteria. Thus we study every patient treated with ACP-01 to generate the scientific basis for its approval," Smeenk said.
Use of Proceeds
Proceeds will be used to advance:
FDA regulatory preparations and meeting execution
Clinical operations expansion in Florida, The Bahamas and Canada
General corporate working capital
