Osprey Announces Resource Estimate Update and Reports 60% Increase in Inferred Resources at Goldenville Project, Nova Scotia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2017 / OSPREY GOLD DEVELOPMENT LTD. (the “Company” or “Osprey”) (TSX-V: OS) is pleased to announce the results of an updated gold resource estimate for the Goldenville Project (“Goldenville”), located in northeastern Nova Scotia, Canada near the town of Sherbrooke. This estimate has resulted in an Inferred Resource of 2,800,000 tonnes at 3.20 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold for 288,000 ounces of gold (2,800,000 tonnes at 4.96 g/t gold for 447,000 ounces of gold uncapped). The resource estimate was completed by David G. Thomas, M.Sc., P. Geo. and Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P. Geo. of Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation (“Fladgate”) based in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The updated resource estimate is found in Table 1.1.

The 2017 updated resource yielded an increase of 60% in Inferred ounces (a 72% increase on an uncapped basis). The 2017 resource is classified as entirely Inferred, whereas the 2005 resource included both indicated and inferred resources. For a comparison with the previously disclosed 2005 43-101 resource entitled, “Technical Report on Mineral Resource Estimate – Acadian Gold Corporation – Goldenville Property – Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, Canada” was prepared for Acadian Gold Corporation by Mercator Geological Services Limited. (the “Acadian Gold Technical Report”), see Table 1.2 below.

Footnotes to mineral resource statement:

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No mineral reserves have as yet been defined. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized.

Fladgate undertook data verification, and reviewed historical quality assurance and quality control programs on the mineral resources data. Fladgate concluded that the collar, survey, assay, and lithology data were adequate to support mineral resources estimation.

A dry bulk density value of 2.67 g/cm3 for all material was assigned from similar Meguma-type gold mineralization with similar rock types in Nova Scotia.

Fladgate assumed a metallurgical recovery of 90% based on a qualitative assessment of the gold mineralogy and grain size.

Near surface mineral resources are constrained within an open pit shell optimized with an L-G algorithm. A process and G&A cost of $25 and a mining cost of $3.00/tonne have been used.

Underground resources have been constrained within a grade shell using a 2.0 g/t threshold, assuming a mining cost of $50/tonne in addition to the operating costs. Isolated blocks were removed from the grade shell. The mineral resources have been depleted using solids representing underground development and areas of stoping for post 1920’s historical mining for which technical drawings are available, however no records are available for the abundant, pre 1920’s mining development, which is known to have occurred throughout the property.

Blocks were classified as inferred in accordance with CIM Definition Standards.

The contained metal figures shown are in situ. The resource estimation methodology incorporates a significant amount of external and internal dilution due to the use of 2 meter composites, probabilistic domaining and the grade smoothing introduced by ordinary kriging with a variogram which has a short range of influence.

No assurance can be given that the estimated quantities will be produced. All figures have been rounded to reflect accuracy and to comply with securities regulatory requirements. Summations within the tables may not agree due to rounding.

*The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current resources and Osprey is not treating this historical estimate as a current mineral resource. While this estimate was prepared, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and the “Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Definition Guidelines” in effect at the time, there is no guarantee that it would be consistent with current standards and it should not be regarded as consistent with current standards.

**2017 inferred resource includes a near surface and an underground resource with a cut-off of 0.75 g/t and 2.0 g/t respectively.

Footnotes to mineral resource comparison:

The changes are a result of changes to the method of mineral resource estimation and a change in the mineral resource classification. Fladgate’s mineral resource estimate uses a minimum mining width of 2 m, Acadian Gold assumed a minimum mining width of 1.2 m. Acadian’s mineral resource classification used a maximum distance of 25 m to classify Inferred mineral resources whereas Fladgate has used a maximum distance of 35 m. Fladgate also capped high grade assays at 70g/t before compositing whereas Acadian Gold used a 50g/t cap on composited grades.

In addition, Fladgate has applied differing criteria to meet the criteria of reasonable prospects of economic extraction as specified in the CIM Mineral Resource Definition Standards. Fladgate has constrained near surface resources to an L-G optimized pit shell and has constrained underground mineral resources to a grade shell above a grade cut-off incorporating an underground mining cost of $50/t.

Cooper Quinn, President of Osprey said, “I’m very encouraged by this updated resource at Goldenville. It represents a significant increase in our current gold resources. The new digital resource model applies modern 3D estimation techniques to the known deposit publicly for the first time, and will be an excellent guide to our exploration programs as we move forward at Goldenville.”

Resource Estimate

The updated resource includes the results from an additional 8 holes totaling 1,280 meters drilled by Acadian Gold Corporation in 2006 that was completed after the 2005 Acadian Gold Technical Report.

The current mineral resource estimate, effective date March 15, 2017, was prepared by David G. Thomas M.Sc., P. Geo. and Neil Pettigrew M.Sc., P. Geo. using Minesight 3D commercial mining software. Resources were estimated from 150 surface core drillholes and 67 underground channel samples in 4 x 2 x 2 meter blocks by ordinary kriging coded by indicator domain. Fladgate created probabilistic indicator models to progressively constrain the mineralization into domains. Indicator models were estimated using inverse-distance weighting to the power of three (IDW3). Grade estimates were based on capped 2.0 meter composited assay data with a top cut of 70 g/t.

Differences with the previous mineral resource estimate primarily result from changes to the method of mineral resource estimation and from a change in the mineral resource classification. Fladgate has applied differing criteria to meet the criteria of reasonable prospects of economic extraction as specified in the CIM Mineral Resource Definition Standards. Fladgate has constrained near surface mineral resources to an L-G optimized pit shell and has constrained underground mineral resources to a grade shell above a grade cut-off incorporating an underground mining cost of $50/t.

Based upon the marginal gold cut-off grade, Fladgate has chosen a cut-off grade of 0.75 g/t gold for reporting the near surface Mineral Resources. For underground mineral resources, Fladgate estimates a marginal cut-off grade of 2 g/t.

A Highly Disruptive Regenerative Medicine Company – RepliCel

BEND, OR / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2017 / RepliCel (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSX-V: RP.V) is a regenerative medicine company focused on developing innovative products for sports medicine and aesthetics markets – degenerated and chronically painful tendons, aging and sun-damaged skin, and hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia.

RepliCel’s products are autologous cell therapies involving a local injection of cells into areas where the need (aging skin, degenerated tendon, hair loss) is related to the resident cells no longer capable of meeting demand. The newly injected cells are being developed and designed to do what’s needed (rejuvenate skin, regenerate tendon, and grow new hair in areas of hair loss).

The conditions RepliCel is actively addressing chronic tendinosis, skin aging, and androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). Each disease state is consistent with a deficit of a specific cell type which RepliCel believes is critical to normal function. All treatments under development are based on RepliCel’s innovative technology which utilizes cells isolated from a patient’s own healthy hair follicles. These products are built on RepliCel’s proprietary manufacturing platforms and are covered by issued and filed patents as well as trade secrets. RepliCel is also developing a programmable cell injector device designed for dermal injections of cells, currently approved dermal filler products, and a variety of other products injected through the skin.

The Potential of Autologous Cell Therapy

RepliCel’s treatments use autologous cell therapy (“ACT”), which is one of the most rapidly developing areas of regenerative medicine in the development of novel treatments for numerous human disorders. ACT involves isolating an individual’s own cells from harvested tissues and growing more of those cells, or ‘expanding’ those cells, in controlled conditions in a regulatory compliant manufacturing facility. These purified, expanded cells are then reintroduced to the donor to treat a specific condition. The benefits of autologous (derived from the same person) therapy (as compared to heterologous or derived from a different person) includes minimized risks of systemic immunological (anaphylactic) reactions, bio-incompatibility, and disease transmission. Furthermore, the effects of ACT may be longer lasting than pharmacological or surgical interventions.

RCT-01: Treatment for Chronic Tendinosis

Background

Tendinosis refers to a chronic disease of the tendon. It is a function of an imbalance of tendon breakdown and tendon repair initiated first by an injury which does not heal properly. This leads to cycles of compromised repair and subsequent re-injury until such time as there is no healing and a degenerative process has set in. Typically, this chronic condition is linked to aging, overuse, and to general health. We believe that the current standard of care is failing to provide a satisfactory solution to this chronic condition.

Treatment

Chronic tendon injuries resulting from sports-related or occupational overuse are a significant unmet medical need. These are people with frequent or consistent pain in their ankle or Achilles tendon, patellar tendon (jumper’s knee), both tendons of the elbow (Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow), shoulder (rotator cuff) etc.

Tendons consist of specialized connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. When mechanical loads exceed the strength of a tendon or tensile range is lost due to aging, micro-tears of the collagen fibers within tendon occur. Once a tendon is injured, healing can but does not always occur intrinsically via tenocyte activation within the injured site or extrinsically via recruitment of collagen-producing cells from the surrounding area. Naturally healed tendon does not return to the same physiological state as ‘intact’ tendon, but does allow for normal function. Inadequate rest and improper healing often result in re-injury and rupture. The goal of RepliCel’s injection of cells highly expressive of collagen is to make this healing more efficient and complete.

Current treatments manage pain and facilitate healing processes; however, they do not mediate complete recovery and leave patients demobilized for several months during treatment. RepliCel believes that improved therapeutic strategies are therefore in considerable demand. RepliCel’s fibroblast technology for tendinosis, which RepliCel refers to as RCT-01, has been developed over five years of research, experimentation and trials.

RCT-01 is a tissue-engineered product made from a procedure using collagen-producing fibroblasts isolated from non-bulbar dermal sheath (NBDS) cells within the hair follicle that are replicated in culture. These fibroblasts are efficient producers of type I collagen and because they are of anagen hair follicle mesenchymal origin, they have the potential to replicate efficiently in culture. The use of these fibroblasts is, therefore, ideal for treating chronic tendon disorders that arise due to either a degeneration of collagen producing cells or a deficit of active collagen producing cells.

Because RCT-01 directly provides a source of collagen expressing cells to the site of injury, addressing the underlying cause of tendinosis, we believe it has advantages over current treatments such as the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication or corticosteroids which are limited in efficacy. Another advantage of RCT-01 is the autologous nature of the cellular product, thereby reducing the likelihood of adverse immune reactions upon administration.

Phase 1 Clinical Trial

Phase 1 human pilot clinical trials were conducted by RepliCel’s collaborative partner, Dr. David Connell, which focused on tendinosis of the Achilles, patellar and lateral elbow (commonly referred to as tennis elbow) using skin tissue derived fibroblasts. In these trials, where 90 patients were injected with cultured, autologous fibroblasts, no adverse events were reported. RepliCel has expanded on Dr. Connell’s approach by isolating NBDS fibroblasts from the hair follicle that express upwards of five times the amount of type I collagen than fibroblasts derived from skin tissue as pursued by Dr. Connell.

Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial

On December 1, 2014, RepliCel announced Health Canada’s clearance to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in subjects who have failed traditional tendon treatments and who are otherwise in good health. Trial design was randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled with a treatment-to-placebo ration of 3:1. The mechanics of RepliCel’s treatment involve the extraction of hair follicles from the back of a patient’s scalp via a single punch biopsy. NBDS cells are isolated from the hair follicle sheath, replicated in a current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) facility and are then reintroduced under ultrasound guidance directly into the area of damaged tendon. The collagen rich fibroblast cells are expected to initiate and complete the healing of the chronically injured tendon. After injections are performed, subjects will return to the clinic for assessments of safety, function and pain, as well as changes in tendon thickness, echotexture, interstitial tears and neovascularity.

The primary end point is safety while a secondary end point of efficacy is being measured at six months. RepliCel will report data from this trial in the next few days and if the data is positive, RepliCel may have a transformational and highly disruptive therapeutic option, in these indications where no true option exists. The value of this program, assuming safety and efficacy are shown, could be in the billions. RepliCel will pursue further indications of other tendon populations including patellar tendinosis (jumper’s knee) and lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis and golfer’s elbow).

RCH-01

RCH-01 is an autologous cell therapy utilizing dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells isolated from the hair follicle to treat androgenetic alopecia. Dermal sheath cup cells are isolated from a small punch biopsy taken from the back of the subject’s scalp. These cells are replicated and then reintroduced into balding areas on the subject’s scalp. After injections are performed, subjects return to the clinic for assessment of total, terminal and vellus hair density and cumulative hair thickness, as well safety.

On March 15, 2017, RepliCel released data from the Phase I study for RCH-01. The study focused on safety and efficacy, and consisted of 19 patients all of whom suffer androgenetic alopecia. The initial data indicated that the primary endpoint of the trial, safety, was fully achieved, and the secondary endpoint proved highly promising despite the study not being powered for efficacy.

Specifically, to the secondary endpoint, remember, the trial was not powered for (intended to prove) efficacy, regardless the top 10 participants reported at least a 5% or greater increase in hair density at six months’ post-injection with an average increase of 11.8%. This group demonstrated a sustained response at 24 months which averaged a 4.2% increase over baseline hair density. While there was a high degree of variability in hair density between individual participants at 24 months’ post-injection compared to baseline, an overall stabilization of hair loss was observed among all the patients treated per protocol.

Management indicated that RepliCel already has a much more mature product than the one used in this trial, and they anticipate even stronger efficacy results during the Phase II efficacy study, when powered for efficacy. Recent animal studies conducted by the Company have showed increased efficacy by combining smaller doses of RCH-01, with multiple injection sites. Additionally, the Company believes that using the RepliCel injector will increase the consistency of the results.

The Phase I study was conducted at Tokyo Medical University Hospital and Toho University Ohasi Medical Center, by Drs. Tsuboi and Niiyama, and is being financed by the Shiseido Company. Each product being injected will be manufactured by Shiseido at their SPEC (Cell-Processing and Expansion Center) facility in Kobe, Japan. RepliCel helped Shiseido design, validate, and prepare the SPEC facility for certification by Japan’s PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device Agency). Shiseido’s SPEC team was also trained by RepliCel and Innovacell in the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant production protocols for RCH-01. Data from this trial is expected in the latter half of 2018 and may be sufficient to commercially launch the product in Japan. If this study proves efficacy, this product also may be worth billions of dollars given there are no viable treatment options for mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (hair loss). Below is an illustration of the hair follicle cycle.

Hair Restoration Treatment Options

Medical hair restoration consists of a variety of surgical hair restoration treatments designed to reduce baldness. Follicular unit hair transplant (“FUT”) surgery is by far the dominant hair restoration treatment and involves the surgical removal of large portions of hair-bearing scalp from the back of the head.

These sections of scalp skin are then dissected by hand into smaller hair follicle clusters (follicular units) and transplanted to the balding areas of a patient’s scalp. Scalp flap surgery, scalp reduction surgery and scalp expansion surgery are other forms of surgical hair restoration. Combined, these treatments represent a far smaller patient base than hair transplant surgery.

Follicular unit extraction or (“FUE”) is another type of hair transplant technique in which a small round punch is used to extract follicular units from a patient’s baldness-resistant donor area. These 1, 2, 3 and 4-hair follicular unit grafts are then transplanted into a patient’s balding areas. This is a time consuming and tedious procedure and a physician is often limited to transplanting only 500 to 600 follicular unit grafts in one day which means a patient often has to come in a number of times to achieve the desired result. While the FUE procedure has grown in popularity, largely due to the minimally invasive way in which follicular unit grafts are removed, the standard strip excision method is still the leading hair transplant procedure.

However, FUT and FUE hair transplant surgery will always be limited by the availability and quality of donor hair follicles. Hair replacement surgery is a complicated procedure that may require several hair transplant sessions over a period of one-to-two years before the desired result is achieved. Ultimately, the act of hair transplantation does not ‘create’ new hair. The process simply relocates viable hair from the back of the scalp to the front. Most women will not undergo this extremely invasive surgery. In terms of cosmetic results, both FUT and FUE surgery are quite dependent upon the skill of the surgeon.

Non-Surgical Restoration

Only two hair restoration treatments approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) are available today: minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil is marketed as Rogaine®. Finasteride is marketed as Propecia®. These two products can be effective in hair loss prevention and may grow new hair. However, once a patient begins using Rogaine® or Propecia®, he or she must continue to use the products indefinitely. If an individual stops using the drug, any new hair grown as a result of the drug will likely fall out. As with any drug, adverse reactions can sometimes occur.

Rogaine® (Minoxidil)

Rogaine® (minoxidil) was introduced in 1988 as the first drug approved for treatment of baldness by the FDA. It is now available over-the-counter in several countries including the USA. Minoxidil remains the only product available without a prescription that has been approved by the FDA as a proven treatment against hair loss. Minoxidil is no longer under patent so it is also marketed as a number of topical treatments made by several different companies. Minoxidil stimulates hair growth in individuals with male and female pattern baldness; however, the mechanism of action is unknown. It comes in 2% and 5% topical formulations and known side effects include itching and skin irritation of the treated scalp, as well as unwanted hair in areas adjacent to treatment sites which can be distressing to women when the face is involved. Once treatment is stopped, all results will be lost within 3 to 6 months.

Propecia® (Finasteride)

Finasteride is marketed by Merck under the trademark names Proscar® and Propecia®, among other generic names.

Golden Grail Technology’s AccurateVenture and Novus MedPlan Execute Strategic Partnership Agreement

AccurateVenture’s Hemp Products Now Covered Nationwide Under Novus MedPlan; Novus MedPlan to be Offered to AccurateVenture Customers

WESTON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2017 / Golden Grail Technology (OTC PINK: GOGY) (“Golden Grail” or the “Company”), a technology and software solutions provider to companies with unique value propositions operating in mass market consumer sectors, today announced a strategic partnership with insurance provider Novus MedPlan (OTC PINK: NDEV). Marketing and processing under the Strategic Partnership Agreement is targeted to start in early April 2017.

Golden Grail’s wholly-owned subsidiary AccurateVenture is proud to announce it has executed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Novus MedPlan. Novus will now cover the bioRenovate® Pharmaceutical Grade Hemp Cannabidiol products and the consumer Miracle Brand CBD products, under its Novus MedPlan Insurance Policy.

Novus MedPlan is the nation’s first health plan that focuses on reducing your cost associated with Medical Marijuana and Hemp/CBD (Cannabidiol). This revolutionary service fills the gaps where your insurance policies do not provide coverage or discounts. Novus offers highly affordable plans to people with and without current health insurance. Novus CEO, Frank Labrozzi, stated, “It’s exciting to be working with an industry leader with a significant customer base in the cannabis space. There is no doubt AccurateVenture will help to make Novus MedPlan an even more recognized name and allow us to offer it to a much broader client base.”

The Agreement calls for AccurateVenture to offer its customers an opportunity to purchase the Novus MedPlan insurance right on the checkout page, while purchasing any of AccurateVenture’s Cannabidiol products, simply by checking a box.

“Novus is clearly out in front of the insurance industry in the cannabis space,” stated, AccurateVenture CEO, Bill Fisher. “When I started strategizing back in 2014, I knew one of the most challenging obstacles would be the cost of true pharma-grade product for people without insurance. Novus is an answered prayer for those who use hemp products for health and wellness on a daily basis, and we are excited to get started.”

Although the bioRenovate and Miracle Brands are now officially covered by Novus, AccurateVenture is currently in the web-engineering phase of implementing the sales funnel to adopt the new Novus sign-ups into its daily process. The web program should launch by early April 2017.

About Novus

Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (NDEV), through its subsidiary WCIG Insurance, provides health insurance and related insurance solutions within the wellness and medical marijuana industries in states where legal programs exist. Novus has developed its infrastructure within many lines of the insurance business such as, health, property & casualty, life, accident and fixed annuities.

Novus medical cannabis benefits package will work as outside developers and will not cultivate, handle, transport grow, extract, dispense, put up for sale, put on the market, vend, deliver, supply, circulate, or trade cannabis or any substances that violate the United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future and will continue to follow state and federal laws. The statements made about specific products have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. All information provided on these press releases or any information contained on or in any product label or packaging is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician or other health care professional. Once a push notification is competed the transaction is solely between the state-licensed dispensary and the registered patient.

The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The current administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state designated laws, allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration, nor any future administration, will not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial changes to Novus Medical Group. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or cannabis related products, we may be harmed by a change in enforcement by federal or state governments.

Power Americas Acquires Additional Exploration Permits on the Spirit River Lithium Project

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2017 / Power Americas Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: PAM) (“Power Americas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Province of Alberta has approved Power America’s application for 100% undivided interest in a further six metallic and industrial minerals exploration permits covering six townships northwest of the Fox Creek-Swan Hills district in the Peace River Arch-Spirit River area of northwestern Alberta.

These additional six exploration permits are contiguous to the previous four townships that were acquired by Power Americas in August 2016. Power America’s collective northwestern Alberta land package now has a total of 10 adjoining exploration permits covering more than 90,000 hectares (222,395 acres) or 900 square kilometres. The newly acquired permits contain more than 1000 well sites including more than 200 new and deep-basin wells that were drilled since 2010. The Spirt River project now contains potential access to more than 1900 wells, some of which contain elevated lithium-brine values as documented historically in publicly available Government of Alberta reports. Power America’s exploration focus will include test assaying brine samples from the new, deep-basin wells representing virgin ground that has never been tested for the lithium-in-brine content, signifying a new target of exploration for the Company and its shareholders.

Note: To date, the company and its Qualified Professionals have been unable to verify the historical lithium-brine results and whether the lithium-enriched brine occurs, or extends, into aquifers underlying the Spirit River property.

Power America’s initial Exploration Program (see news release 01-11-17) is underway on the Spirit River Lithium Project. Local area petro-operators have granted access and brine sampling will be collected from approximately 20-30 separate producing wells. The brine samples will be tested for potentially elevated concentrations of lithium and other important elements in brine reservoirs/aquifers underlying Spirit River landholdings. Further results will be released as they become available.

The Company’s consultant, APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton AB, is supervising and conducting the brine sampling program in conjunction with several oil and gas producers in the region. The brine samples collected will undergo geochemical analysis by Maxxam Analytics Inc. at its Petroleum Technology Centre located in Edmonton, AB.

Blog Coverage Cesca Therapeutics Announces Encouraging Results from a Study of its Treatment of Chronic Non-healing Ulcers

Upcoming AWS Coverage on Medtronic Post-Earnings Results

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2017 / Active Wall St. blog coverage looks at the headline from Cesca Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: KOOL) as the Company reported on March 15, 2017, encouraging data from a study evaluating the use of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of chronic non-healing ulcers. Results from the 24 patient study entitled “Treatment of chronic non-healing ulcers using autologous platelet rich plasma: a case series” were published in the peer-reviewed, Journal of Biomedical Science. The study was led by researchers from TotipotentRX, a subsidiary of Cesca Therapeutics, and Fortis Memorial Research Institute. Register with us now for your free membership and blog access at:

One of Cesca Therapeutics’ competitors within the Medical Appliances & Equipment space, Medtronic PLC (NYSE: MDT), reported on February 21, 2017, its financial results for Q3 FY17, which ended January 27, 2017. AWS will be initiating a research report on Medtronic in the coming days.

Today, AWS is promoting its blog coverage on KOOL; touching on MDT. Get all of our free blog coverage and more by clicking on the link below:

The Study

Cesca Therapeutics stated that the study was conducted with 24 patients with one wound/ulcer of varying etiology were treated with a single dose of PRP injections around the wound alongside a topical administration of autologous platelet gel. The process was completed at the patient’s bedside in a single session within 30 minutes. The Company noted that healing of the wound/ulcer was observed in patients as early as 4 weeks after the PRP treatment with a mean healing time of 8.2 weeks ±1.9. All patients demonstrated healing of the wound/ulcer, with 17 (70.8%) patients showing a 90% reduction in wound size and 3 (12.5%) patients showing an 80-90% reduction over the course of the 24 week follow-up. The study also reported that there were no adverse events on the day of treatment or during the patient’s 24 week follow-up, demonstrating a good safety profile for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds/ulcers.

Dr. Venkatesh Ponemone, Study Director and Executive Director of TotipotentRX commented:

“We are very pleased with the data from the study and believe that the use of PRP is a major breakthrough for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds and ulcers. Using Cesca’s point-of-care platform, we are able to develop rapid cell based therapies at the patient’s bedside within 30 minutes significantly reducing the risk and costs associated with current standard of care treatments.”

Chronic non-healing ulcers pose a significant health risk worldwide affecting an estimated 2 million-6 million people in the United States alone, and are a major cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Despite a variety of standard of care treatments, many chronic ulcers fail to heal or persist for months/years and/or recur after healing, requiring additional advanced wound care therapies. Platelet Rich Plasma, however, has been a major breakthrough in the arena of vascular therapies allowing the use of a patient’s own body cells for wound/ulcer treatment, providing the necessary growth factors that enhance tissue healing.

$5 Million Line of Credit

On March 13, 2017, Cesca Therapeutics announced that it has closed a revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with Boyalife Investment Fund II, Inc. The non-collaterized RLOC is for a term of five years and is generally drawable at Cesca’s discretion. Additionally, Cesca also announced that it has set-up a wholly-owned subsidiary, ThermoGenesis Corp., to separately own and operate, and thereby strengthen its device business. The clinical development activities will remain with Cesca, the parent Company.

“This RLOC with Boyalife gives us the financial resources to offer our expanding product pipeline to new and existing customers in the US and international markets without having to dilute the Company’s stockholders at current market price,” said Chris Xu, Cesca’s interim Chief Executive Officer, “Automation in cellular processing and a point-of-care therapy is the core business for ThermoGenesis. Setting up the device division in in its own entity is intended to enable Cesca to more effectively manage the device business’s performance and growth strategy. Our goal is to make ThermoGenesis cash-flow neutral within next 12 months.”

Stock Performance

At the close of trading session on Wednesday, March 15, 2017, following the announcement, Cesca Therapeutics’ stock price rose 8.36% to end the day at $3.11. A total volume of 3.07 million shares were exchanged during the session, which was above the 3-month average volume of 182.57 thousand shares. At Wednesday’s closing price, the stock’s net capitalization stands at $30.79 million.
