HEMOSTEMIX ADDS THE 20th ACTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL SITE AND ENROLLS THE 56TH TRIAL SUBJECT
January 17, 2020January 17, 2020 — Hemostemix Inc. (“HEM,” “Hemostemix” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HEM; OTC: HMTXF) announces the 20th clinical trial site is now active and the 56thtrial subject was enrolled as of December 31, 2019.
The Hemostemix Phase II study of ACP-01 is an international 20 center randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of ACP-01 injected into the lower extremity of 95 CLI patients who have exhausted all other options. A futility analysis for potentially stopping enrolment into the study will be performed when 42 subjects have completed at least 26 weeks of follow-up.
“Imagine going to your Doctor and he counsels you that he can relieve the minute by minute pain associated with the open ulcerating wounds on your feet (CLI), get you up walking again, and save your limbsfrom amputation, with a confidence factor of 83%,” said Thomas Smeenk, President. “Those are the announced results and that is how ACP-01 works to help a person who is suffering from CLI,” he said. On October 21, 2019, the Company, in conjunction with UBC, U of T, UHN and Vancouver Coastal Health released:“Autologous Stem Cell Treatment for CLI Patients with No Revascularization Options: An Update of the Hemostemix ACP-01 Trial With 4.5 Year Followup” which noted “…healing of ulcers and resolution of ischemic rest pain occurred in 83% of patients, with outcomes maintained for up to 4.5 years.”Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) face a high risk of amputation once revascularization surgery options are exhausted. It is estimated that 160,000 amputations are carried out annually in the USA due to the failure of revascularization.
