Hemostemix
is currently conducting a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial for patients with critical
limb ischemia at sites in the Canada and United States.
Critical
limb ischemia (CLI) is a chronic condition and is the most severe and
deadliest form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with limited
treatment options and no current approved drug treatments. CLI is
characterized by insufficient blood supply to lower limbs.
Complications include leg and foot ulcers which can lead to gangrene
and limb loss due to amputation. CLI has a high rate of amputation
and mortality.

profile as well as a link to the Phase 2 Clinical Trial company page

Here is a copy and
paste of an email from Thomas Smeenk CEO
Last
week Bristol Myers Squibb paid $13.1 Billion for Myokardia (MYOK) to
obtain Mavacamtem.
Whereas
the comparison of Hemostemix to Myokardia cannot be direct, since
Mavacamtem is a traditional orally-administered small molecule (pill)
that will be paid for by insurance plans and ACP is one-time
autologous stem cell treatment completed in a cath lab, the
comparison of cardiomyopathy patients who were treated with ACP-01
and Mavacamtem can be head-to-head.
Below
are the phase II results of ACP-01 as compared to Mavacamtem's phase
III results in patients suffering from cardiomyopathy. Attached
is a summary of the company's significant data of >300 patients
treated for cardiomyopathy who were followed for up to 3 years.
Whereas
Mavacamtem is a treatment for 1 in 500, ACP is a treatment for a
greater number of patients who suffer from cardiomyopathy, angina,
peripheral arterial disease, and its degenerative condition
critical limb ischemia.
Linked(1
)is the company's investor presentation and quick
overview (2).
ACP
was also used as a compassionate treatment for idiopathic pulmonary
hypertension (3.5
minute video)
(3) with significant results. At the age of 9, Cal was given five
years to live and faced a heart lung transplant. Today, aged 19, Cal
has lived 8 of the last 10 years medication free because of ACP.
Publications
enabling the comparison of ACP to Mavacamtem:
Published
in Asian
Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals (4) ACP
trialed in Cardiomyopathy has >2X the uptake - 80% - as compared
to Mavacamtem - 37% - (Phase 3 Lancet)
(5)
34%
more patients in the Mavacamten group improved by at least one NYHA
class (80 of 123 patients in the Mavacamten group vs 40
of 128 patients in the placebo group; 95% CI 22·2 to 45·4;
p<0·0001). At
a mean of 180 days after the ACP injection, NYHA functional class
improved one whole class, from 2.69 ± 0.79 preoperatively to 1.63 ±
0.81 in the Dilated Cardiomyopathy group (*n *=
16, *p *<
0.05), and from 3.0 ±0.52 to 1.94 ±0.85 in the Ischemic
Cardiomyopathy group (n =
16, p <
0.05).
The ACP
6-min walk tests showed an improvement of nearly 126 meters in
walking capacity (from 343.3 to 469.4 meters, n =
9, at 90 days).
The
overall ejection fraction (EF) in the ACP groups improved by 4.8
percentage points ± 7.5 percentage points (from 26.2% ± 7.2%
to 31.1% ± 9.0%) at 149 ± 98 days postoperatively (n =
29, p <
0.05). Ejection fraction improved by 2.8 ± 9.1 percentage points
(from 25.9% ± 8.6% to 28.7% ± 9.8%) at 135 ± 88 days in the DCM
group (n =
15, p =
0.3), and 7.1 ± 4.6 percentage points (from 26.6% ± 5.8% to 33.6%
± 7.7 %) at 164 ± 109 days in the ICM group (n =
14, p <
0.05).
ACP
has been trialed in angina successfully (Circulation)(6),
with the following outcomes: The
clinical condition improved in all patients at 3 and 6 months vs.
pretreatment, 6 Minute Walk increased from 333.65 ±26.56 to 414.95
±28.54 meters at 3 months and to 413.25 ±33.17 meters at 6 months
(both P<0.001); exercise capacity increased from 5.62 ±0.52 to
6.73 ±0.64 METs at 3 months (P<0.004) and to 7.09 ±0.79 METs at
6 months (P<0.04); perfusion defect decreased from 38.46 ±6.19%
to 23.89 ±5.79% at 3 months (P<0.004) and to 21.05 ±5.16% at 6
months (P<0.005); and mean CCS score decreased from 2.1 ±0.19 to
1.05 ±0.05 at 3 months and to 1.18 ±0.13 at 6 months (both
P<0.001).
ACP
has been trialed successfully in PAD (Cytotherapy)(7): In
the treated arm after two years: no deaths, 7 of 10 saved their limb
from amputation; in the placebo arm: 2 deaths and 6 limbs lost to
amputation.
ACP
is currently the subject of a double blinded placebo controlled
trial in patients suffering from CLI. Interim data was presented to
the 41st Annual Canadian Society for Vascular Surgery Meeting
on September 14, 2019 by two lead investigators, Dr. York Hsiang,
UBC, and Dr. Thomas Lindsay, U of T. The poster (8)
detailed: "Healing of ulcers and resolution of ischemic rest
pain occurred in 83% of patients...with outcomes maintained for
up to 4.5 years."
