Xintela (XINT) announces that the company's clinical Phase I/IIa study with XSTEM® in patients with difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers has been completed with the last follow-up visit for the last patient. XSTEM, which consists of allogeneic (donated) integrin a10ß1-selected mesenchymal stem cells, is developed and manufactured by Xintela.
Xintela's Phase I/IIa clinical study in patients with difficult-to-heal venous leg ulcers is a placebo-controlled, randomized study. The patients in the study have received one dose of XSTEM or placebo applied to the wound and then followed weekly for 10 weeks and after 4 months. Xintela has previously communicated that the number of patients enrolled in the study was reduced from 12 to 6 due to slow recruitment and that that the primary goal of the study, to investigate safety and tolerability will still be achieved. The final results of the study with focus on safety and tolerability are planned to be reported at the end of May.
