Immunis Chairman Dr. Hans Keirstead to Present at the Rejuvenation Startup Summit in Berlin
Immunis Chairman Dr. Hans Keirstead to Present at the Festival of Biologics Conference in Basel, Switzerland
During their lifetime, all humans experience a reduction in healthy immune cell numbers and their secreted factors (secretome), which are necessary to promote immune system development and to circumvent age and disease-related immune decline. Immunis recently developed a novel method of directing clinically compliant human stem cells to a young precursor population that produces a non-cellular secretome product (STEM) which benefits immune system modulation and health. Dr. Keirstead’s keynote will detail Immunis’ administration of STEM in an FDA-approved Phase 1/2a human clinical trial to test STEM’s efficacy in elderly patients with age-related and disease-enhanced muscle atrophy.

About STEM-MYO
Immunis’ FDA-awarded Phase 1/2a clinical trial is an open-label dose escalation study to assess the safety and tolerability of IMM01-STEM in elderly participants with muscle atrophy associated with knee osteoarthritis. Up to 18 patients will be enrolled in the trial and randomly assigned to an IMM01-STEM dose cohort. Treatment will be administered in the form of intramuscular injections twice a week for four weeks (8 injections total). Male or female patients are eligible for the study if they satisfy the following criteria: (1) 50 to 75 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent, (2) have a grade 2 or 3 knee osteoarthritis as defined by Kellgren-Lawrence analyses, (3) have quadricep weakness (<7.5N/kg), (4) can ambulate >50 feet unassisted, (5) are negative for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis C at the Screening Visit and (6) have a body mass index (BMI) of <40kg/m2.
