Celavie Biosciences, LLC, a company working to improve lives and restore hope by advancing innovations in CNS diseases with regenerative stem cell-based therapies, announced today their attendance at the Alliance of Regenerative Medicine’s (ARM)Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mesa to be held October 2nd – 4th in Carlsbad, California.
Novel cells offer functional and structural restoration advantages for transplantation and therapy
OXNARD, Calif., February 21, 2017—Veterinary regenerative medicine start-up Celavet Inc., a subsidiary of Celavie Biosciences LLC, received approval from the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) for product characterization of its equine OK100 stem cells. Celavet’s donor selection criteria were approved by the CVM last August. These approvals mark significant progress towards pivotal studies for the OK100 stem cells, proposed to treat tendinitis (e.g., tendon injuries, bowed tendons, etc.) in horses.
Celavie has targeted Parkinson’s disease (PD) as the first human application of its stem cells (OK99). Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. Nearly one million people in the US are living with Parkinson’s disease. The risk of developing Parkinson’s is about 1 percent at age 60. The cause is unknown, and although there is presently no cure, there are treatment options such as medication and surgery to manage its symptoms.
OXNARD, Calif., Sept. 22, 2016—Celavie Biosciences LLC welcomed a team of leaders in market strategy, medical technology, pharmaceutical R&D, regulations, and product commercialization to help bring their novel stem cell technology to market. Celavie is working on stem cell-based regenerative therapies for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), for which there are no long-term treatments or cures.
Novel cells offer functional and structural restoration advantages for transplantation and therapy
OXNARD, Calif., September 13, 2016—Regenerative medicine company Celavie Biosciences LLC, announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued patents for its pluripotent stem cells with applications for a range of disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), including Parkinson’s disease.
CVM approval moves novel stem cell therapy one step closer to restoring health and mobility in horses
OXNARD, Calif., Aug. 12, 2016—Veterinary regenerative medicine start-up Celavet Inc., a subsidiary of Celavie Biosciences LLC, received approval from the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) for the donor selection criteria of its equine OK100 stem cells. The Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) file for the OK100 stem cells is proposed to treat tendinitis (e.g., tendon injuries, bowed tendons, etc.) in horses.
New stem cell technology offers potential to revolutionize regenerative medicine
OXNARD, Calif., Dec. 14, 2015—Regenerative medicine start-up Celavie Biosciences LLC has conducted its first clinical trial to evaluate the safety of their stem cells in treating eight patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD). Seven of the eight patients completed first-year follow-up. No lasting adverse effects or complications over period of more than two years were observed.
Regenerative medicine start-up studies over 400 horses with tendon and ligament injuries
OXNARD, Calif., December 15, 2013—Veterinary regenerative medicine start-up Celavet Inc., a subsidiary of Celavie Biosciences LLC, successfully completed a multicenter, open label study investigating the treatment of equine tendon and ligament injuries with Celavet’s OK100 stem cells on more than 400 horses.
Regenerative medicine start-up granted compassionate use by CVM to aid animal with severe burns
OXNARD, Calif., Aug. 31, 2011—Veterinary regenerative medicine start-up Celavet Inc., a subsidiary of Celavie Biosciences LLC, provided the undifferentiated stem cells successfully used for the treatment of a pit bull with severe burns. Collaborators Dr. Boyd Wagner of Wyomissing Animal Hospital and Dr. Oleg Kopyov of Celavet administered the treatment using a new stem cell technology and a newly created protocol, which resulted in near-total restoration of damaged tissue.
Unique pluripotent stem cells show favorable structural improvements to damaged tendons
OXNARD, Calif., March 3, 2010—A recent study from Celavet Inc., a subsidiary of Celavie Biosciences LLC, demonstrates promising indications for the efficacy of pluripotent stem cells in the treatment of tendon injuries in horses. Conducted at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine by Dr. Alan Nixon, the equine study investigates the effect of Celavet’s undifferentiated stem cells versus placebo controls in acute tendonitis lesions in horses’ superficial flexor tendons.
