Proteonomix, Inc. (PROT) Files New Patent Application for a New Technology to Focus on Mobilization of Bone Marrow Stem Cells and Begins to Prepare for a Clinical Trial Based on the Patent Application

 

MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ--(Marketwire - April 7, 2011) - PROTEONOMIX, INC. (OTCBB: PROT), a biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics based upon the use of human cells and their derivatives, announced today that it has filed a provisional patent application in anticipation of commencement of its initial clinical trial of a drug combination thought to extend life expectancy for a class of terminally ill patients awaiting liver transplants.

 

Based upon our previously announced exclusive license agreement to develop Mobilization of Bone Marrow Stem Cells Technology (UMK-121), the Company has filed a patent application covering mobilization of non-hematopoietic stem cells for applications in regenerative medicine.

 

Planning for the first clinical trial has been initiated and we expect to commence the trial in 2011. If successful, such a trial will be a critical step toward proving the efficacy of the technology upon which the application was filed and key to further development of the company's portfolio of stem cell treatments.

 

Ian McNiece, Chief Scientific Officer of Proteonomix, noted, "The filing of this patent application strengthens the intellectual portfolio of the company and paves the way forward for initiation of phase I trials of this technology. We believe this mobilization technology has extensive potential to facilitate cellular repair in a number of diseases and will be key focus for Proteonomix moving forward."

 

Michael Cohen, Proteonomix, Inc. CEO, stated: "We are methodically developing this new technology. Our initial targeted patients for this new therapy will be those who are suffering from End Stage Liver Disease ("ESLD"). We are currently seeking to partner with a medical facility to assist us with the future growth of this technology."
