Regenerative Medicine Company to Adopt ThawSTAR® Cell Thawing Systems to De-Risk Cell Therapy Clinical Trial

MedCision, LLC, the world leader in next-generation automated cell thawing for advanced therapies, and RepliCel Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA:P6P2) (“RepliCel”), a regenerative medicine company, today announced that RepliCel has joined MedCision’s ThawSTAR® Early Adopter Program, a novel program that helps companies and investigators de-risk thawing of cell therapies in early stage clinical trials through to commercialization and point-of-care. Each participant will receive a ThawSTAR® System on loan that is custom engineered for their unique cell therapy product.

RepliCel Life Sciences intends to adopt ThawSTAR® AT2 Automated Cell Thawing Systems, for thawing of Aseptic Technologies 2.0ml AT-Closed Vials®, into their Phase 2 clinical trial for skin rejuvenation (RCS-01). This NBDS Fibroblast therapy trial will address skin damage caused by aging or UV rays.

The ThawSTAR® System helps eliminate variability prior to therapy administration to a patient by critical control of vial thawing. The first-of-its-kind, digitally enabled, automated instrument was specifically designed to de-risk thawing of live cell therapeutics.

RepliCel’s President and CEO, R. Lee Buckler, commented: “As we get ready to launch our Phase 2 study for RCS-01 injections, we have greater confidence knowing we are using a programmable cell thawing technology. The ThawSTAR technology has been validated in many studies, and I believe that our trial and the industry on a whole will benefit greatly from replacing unstandardized, manual thawing methods with an automated cell thawing system.”

“Clinical trials involving live and dividing cells are far more complex and risky for sponsors and investigators than other types of therapies, and the success or failure of a trial could come down to results being adversely affected by drug handling,” said Rolf Ehrhardt, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of MedCision. “All of the execution, effort, and money that goes into production of the therapy can be undone with errors in the last step prior to administration: thawing. Our ThawSTAR System is designed to avoid these problems. We are delighted to support RepliCel Life Sciences, an innovative regenerative medicine company, in their trials.”
