SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Biology, a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (Predictive or The Company), announced that on April 9th it submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the immediate use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), secondary to SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shown to develop into severe ARDS in 30% of hospitalized patients with a 22%-62% mortality rate (Murthy et al., 2020) for those requiring hospitalization in an intensive care unit. Currently, there is no confirmed treatment that can demonstrate safety or efficacy for the treatment of COVID-19.
Coronavirus can be deadly, in large part because the virus can cause cytokine storms in which the patients own immune system triggers a runaway response causing more damage to the patient, than to the virus it's trying to eliminate, said John Sorrentino, Chairman of Predictive Technology Group. Respiratory distress kills hundreds of thousands of people each year worldwide. There is clinical data from early clinical trials that seem to indicate that the avoidance of the cytokine storm utilizing MSCs may be a critical component for the treatment of COVID-19 infected patients.
A recent review article published in Pain Physician, concluded that, The limited but emerging evidence regarding UC MSC [umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells] in managing COVID-19 suggests that it might be considered for compassionate use in critically ill patients to reduce morbidity and mortality in the United States.
The proposed IND clinical trial will utilize Predictives proprietary core technology of naturally occurring MSCs derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSCs) to assess the efficacy as an add-on therapy to standard treatment of patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19.
Predictives UC MSC product, CoreCyte, [currently regulated by the FDA as a tissue-based product under 21 CFR 1271.3(d)(1) and Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act] has already beenused as an allograft in over50,000 patients. Physicians have reported to Predictive that over 1,100 patients have been treated with CoreCyte via intravenous administration. No serious adverse events have been reported with CoreCyte regardless of the route of administration. If Predictives EUA request is approved, CoreCyte would be available immediately to critically ill patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 infections.
