LGVN - Longeveron® to Attend BIO International Convention 2024 | Benzinga
MIAMI, May 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ:LGVN), a clinical stage regenerative medicine biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions, today announced that the Company will participate in the BIO International Convention taking place June 3-6, 2024 at the San Diego Convention Center.
At the conference, members of the Longeveron management team will host meetings with global pharmaceutical company executives to explore potential partnership and strategic opportunities for the Company's Alzheimer's disease program, which has generated positive data in successful Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials.
Longeveron's lead investigational therapeutic candidate is Lomecel-B™, a proprietary, scalable, allogenic cellular therapy. In a completed Phase 2a clinical trial (CLEAR MIND), Lomecel-B™ treated patients showed an overall slowing/prevention of disease worsening compared to placebo. The trial achieved the primary safety and secondary efficacy endpoints and showed statistically significant improvements in pre-specified clinical and biomarker endpoints in specific Lomecel-B™ groups compared to placebo. These results support the therapeutic potential of Lomecel-B™ in the treatment of mild Alzheimer's disease and provided evidence-based support for further clinical development. Full results from the CLEAR MIND study have been selected for a featured research oral presentation at the 2024 Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC).
Longeveron previously announced top-line results for the CLEAR MIND Phase 2a clinical trial on October 5, 2023, and reported additional clinical data and imaging biomarker results from CLEAR MIND on December 20, 2023.
