TiGenix CEO Eduardo Bravo said that, in addition to the primary endpoints of safety and optimal dosing, the company expects the trial to indicate the period of effectiveness of Cx611 in patients who have failed to respond previous treatments.
"In the trial patients are treated with three injections of Cx611. The six-month follow-up without further dosing should provide us with a truly meaningful result," Bravo said.
"This is the most advanced stem cell therapy trial in RA in the world, and completing the enrollment on time confirms our leadership position in the field."
The Phase IIa multicentre, placebo-controlled trial has enrolled 53 patients. They will be divided into three groups with different dosing regimens.
