HEM · Price
Executive Summary
- Hemostemix Inc. highlights a 17-year survival case of a patient treated with its VesCell (ACP-01) therapy for ischemic cardiomyopathy, coinciding with new Florida legislation authorizing the use of VesCell for life-threatening conditions.
- The company reports that VesCell has treated 498 patients across seven clinical studies, with published data showing up to a 47.1% increase in ejection fraction in dilated cardiomyopathy patients.
- A recent peer-reviewed article in Cells (June 29, 2025) provides scientific backing for the therapy's mechanism, including angiogenesis and inflammation reduction, while the company notes a 0% mortality rate in a specific chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) study.
Key Details
- Patient Case Study: Howie Lindeman, a 6-time Grammy-winning producer, received VesCell treatment in 2008 for ischemic cardiomyopathy.
- Outcome: Gained 17+ years of life; ejection fraction nearly doubled from the low-20% range to the 40% range.
- Symptoms: Reported improved strength, health, and hope compared to pre-treatment fatigue and limitations.
- Regulatory Update: Florida law now authorizes the use of VesCell for patients with life-threatening or debilitating conditions who have exhausted standard-of-care options.
- Clinical Data & Statistics:
- Total Patients Treated: 498 patients across seven clinical studies.
- Publications: Results published in 11 peer-reviewed publications.
- Ejection Fraction Improvement: Up to a 47.1% increase in ejection fraction in dilated cardiomyopathy patients in peer-reviewed studies.
- CLTI Study Results: In a phase II trial for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a midpoint result from the University of British Columbia and University of Toronto reported:
- 0% mortality (compared to a 50% five-year mortality rate in the general CLTI population).
- Cessation of pain.
- Wound healing in 83% of patients followed for up to 4.5 years.
- Scientific Mechanism: A June 29, 2025, article in Cells details how VesCell (ACP-01) and NCP-01 foster angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and enhance synaptic plasticity.
