See the full stock directory here– FCX-007 well-tolerated up to 52 weeks post-administration – – Continued positive trends noted in wound healing and pharmacology signals, including – Company to Host Conference Call & Webcast Today at 8:30 am EDT– EXTON, Pa., May 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fibrocell Science, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCSC), a gene therapy company focused on transformational autologous cell-based therapies for skin and connective tissue diseases, today provided an update on the interim results and progress of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial of FCX-007 for the treatment of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). The results were presented by M. Peter Marinkovich, MD, the trial’s Study Director at the Stanford University site and Associate Professor of Dermatology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, at the 7th International Investigative Dermatology meeting on May 19, 2018. Four adult patients (n=7 wounds) aged 20 to 37 have been dosed with FCX-007 in the margins of and across targeted wounds, as well as in separate intact skin sites. Three patients received a single intradermal injection session at baseline. One patient received a second injection session in the remaining unhealed areas of wounds at 25 weeks post-administration, as allowed by the clinical trial protocol. Safety data from these patients show FCX-007 was well-tolerated up to 52 weeks post-administration. There were no serious adverse events and no product related adverse events reported. No type VII collagen (COL7) autoantibody response was noted. Various COL7 expression signals were detected throughout the data set using either immunofluorescence (IF) or immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) up to 52 weeks post-administration. Anchoring fibril structures have also been observed using IEM. Wounds were evaluated during a monitoring period prior to dosing and they were observed to be open for up to eight months. Compared to the baseline measurement collected at Day 0 before the administration of FCX-007, the percentage of dosed wounds healing > 50% when compared to baseline were observed as follows: - 100% (7/7) at 4 weeks post-administration A similar trend was also observed for treated wounds healing > 75% when compared to baseline. Untreated wounds of similar size to the treated wounds were selected and monitored as controls on each patient. The percentage of untreated control wounds healing > 50% when compared to baseline were observed as follows: - 14% (1/7) at 4 weeks post-administration “The Phase 1 portion of the trial of FCX-007 continues to be encouraging and reinforces the potential for treating RDEB patients,” said Alfred Lane, MD, Chief Medical Advisor of Fibrocell and Professor of Dermatology and Pediatrics (Emeritus) at the Stanford University School of Medicine. “As we move into Phase 2 of the trial, I am looking forward to incorporating these learnings into the trial and determining the impact on patient outcomes.” There is one patient enrolled in the Phase 2 portion of the trial, with three additional screening visits scheduled prior to the end of June 2018. Enrollment of six patients is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2018. “We are pleased with the continued progress of our FCX-007 program that offers promise to be transformative for RDEB patients,” said John Maslowski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fibrocell. “Based on safety, pharmacology and wound healing data, we plan to continue exploring dose range and administration for future patients. We are looking forward to moving ahead with this protocol that advances the clinical trial of FCX-007 and positions us to achieve future milestones for the program.” Fibrocell is developing FCX-007 in collaboration with Precigen, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon Corporation (NYSE:XON), a leader in synthetic biology. Fibrocell Conference Call & Webcast On Monday, May 21, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. EDT, Fibrocell will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the interim results and progress of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of FCX-007. A slide presentation summarizing the data will be referenced during the call and is posted in the Investors section of the Company’s website www.fibrocell.com/investors/events under the event, “Fibrocell FCX-007 Conference Call & Webcast.” Following the presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session with John Maslowski, President and CEO of Fibrocell, and Alfred Lane, MD, Chief Medical Advisor of Fibrocell and Professor of Dermatology and Pediatrics (Emeritus) at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

About FCX-007 FCX-007 is Fibrocell's clinical-stage, gene therapy product candidate for the treatment of RDEB, a congenital and progressive orphan skin disease caused by the deficiency of the protein type VII collagen (COL7). FCX-007 is a genetically-modified autologous fibroblast that encodes the gene for COL7 and is being developed in collaboration with Precigen, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon Corporation. By genetically modifying autologous fibroblasts ex vivo to produce COL7, culturing them and then treating wounds locally via injection, FCX-007 offers the potential to address the underlying cause of the disease by providing high levels of COL7 directly to the affected areas while avoiding systemic distribution. FCX-007 has been granted Orphan Drug, Rare Pediatric Disease and Fast Track Designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. About the Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial The primary objective of this open-label clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of FCX-007 in RDEB patients. Additionally, the trial is assessing wound healing and pharmacology at 4, 12, 25 and 52 weeks post-administration. Six patients ages seven and older are targeted to be treated with FCX-007 in the Phase 2 portion of the trial. To learn more about the clinical trial, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov and search the identifier NCT02810951. About Fibrocell Fibrocell is an autologous cell and gene therapy company translating personalized biologics into medical breakthroughs for diseases affecting the skin and connective tissue. Fibrocell’s most advanced product candidate, FCX-007, is the subject of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for the treatment of RDEB. Fibrocell is also developing FCX-013, the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of moderate to severe localized scleroderma.

NEW YORK, May 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”), a bio-pharmaceutical and phyto-medical company, is excited to announce that the Company will be featured in a Dateline NBC segment discussing how their research on cannabidiol (CBD)-like molecules could potentially change the landscape for various ailments including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the opioid epidemic. The Kannalife-centric segment will air at 7:00pm EDT, during the Sunday, May 20th, episode of Dateline NBC. The segment will take an in-depth look into Kannalife Sciences and their groundbreaking research investigating whether the Company’s proprietary CBD-like molecules can help change the medical landscape and offer several new treatments for specific ailments. “We are excited to be a part of this Dateline NBC special, dedicated to the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant, cannabinoid-like molecules and how companies like Kannalife are working to conduct the necessary research to bring new drugs to market,” said Kannalife Sciences CEO Dean Petkanas. “This kind of exposure helps us communicate the health and wellness benefits of CBD and CBD-like molecules, as well as new potential treatments for CTE.” A good portion of this news piece will focus on the problem of CTE, a degenerative neurological disease caused by repeated head trauma that can lead to symptoms like violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive difficulties. Currently, CTE can only be definitively diagnosed by direct tissue examination after death. Because there is not much known about this debilitating disease, treatment and prevention options are bleak. Kannalife Sciences currently holds two licenses, one of them exclusive, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the Commercialization of U.S. Patent #6630507, “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants”, to research Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) and CTE. Additionally, with over 20,000 deaths a year related to prescription opioids, Kannalife discusses the potential benefits of using cannabis as a replacement for opioids to not only help those suffering from addiction but as an alternative to opioids to treat chronic pain.
