Lineage Cell Therapeutics Announces OpRegen Preclinical Engraftment Results To Be Presented At 2024 Association For Research In Vision And Ophthalmology Meeting

Author: Benzinga Newsdesk | March 11, 2024 08:06am

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced that preclinical results as part of a surgical development study evaluating the survival and distribution of RG6501 (OpRegen) will be presented at the 2024 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting (2024 ARVO). The meeting will be held May 5-9, 2024, in Seattle, WA. The presentation, "OpRegen engrafts within the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) of Gottingen mini-pigs by 4-weeks post-administration via subretinal delivery," will be presented by Rachel N. Andrews, DVM, PhD, DACVP, Principal Scientist-Pathologist, Safety Assessment, Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, on behalf of Roche and Genentech.

About OpRegen

OpRegen (RG6501) is a suspension of allogeneic retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells currently in development for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Subretinal delivery of OpRegen has the potential to counteract RPE cell loss in GA by supporting retinal cell health and improving retinal structure and function. OpRegen is being developed under an exclusive worldwide collaboration between Lineage, and Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2a clinical study in patients with GA secondary to AMD (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05626114).

About the 2024 ARVO Meeting

The ARVO Annual Meeting is the premiere gathering for eye and vision scientists from across the globe, at all career stages, students, and those in affiliated fields to share the latest research findings and collaborate on innovative solutions. The theme of the 2024 Annual Meeting addresses how vision research is continually being transformed by new information and technologies. Exponentially expanding computing power is giving rise to improved artificial intelligence and powerful big data. Increasingly sensitive and elegant molecular techniques, including CRISPR and mRNA technologies, as well as more sophisticated imaging modalities, virtual reality, and breakthroughs in gene therapy are catalyzing our research as we aim to treat, cure and ultimately prevent blinding eye diseases.

About Geographic Atrophy

GA is an advanced form of AMD characterized by severe loss of visual function. GA is a leading cause of adult blindness in the developed world, affecting at least 5 million people globally. There are two forms of advanced AMD: neovascular AMD and GA. GA and neovascular AMD can occur simultaneously in the same eye, and patients treated for neovascular AMD may still go on to develop GA. GA typically affects both eyes.
