Brian Culley, CEO, and Brandi Roberts, CFO of Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: LCTX), a leading publicly traded cell therapy and transplant company with in-house manufacturing and 3 clinical programs with billion dollar opportunities, will be presenting to investors on November 5, 2020 at the GCFF Virtual Conference – Diversified Investing Strategies

The Company’s clinical-stage programs are based on one of the largest and most comprehensive patent estates in cell therapy:

  • OpRegen, an RPE transplant therapy in Phase 1/2a development for the treatment of dry-AMD.  Positive clinical results reported in first 18 enrolled patients; 3 patients left to enroll.  Encouraging findings have been seen across multiple assessments, including reduced growth of geographic atrophy, improved visual acuity, improved reading speed, stable engraftment of cells, and in one patient to date, the first known report of retinal tissue restoration. Next clinical data update planned for 2020 AAO Meeting.   

  • OPC1, an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell therapy for acute spinal cord injuries with Orphan and RMAT designations.  96% of 22 subjects treated reported improved motor function from the Phase 1/2a study for treatment of acute SCI; 1/3 of these patients saw improvements of 2 or more motor function levels. Program focus in 2020 is completing manufacturing and delivery enhancements to support a late stage clinical trial.

  • VAC2, an allogeneic cancer immunotherapy of antigen-presenting dendritic cells currently in a Phase 1 for NSCLC conducted and paid for by Cancer Research UK. Program brought in-house in May 2020 based on positive immunogenicity data in first four patients. Recently reported remarkably potent induction of immune responses observed in the ongoing Phase 1 study, with peripheral antigen-specific immunogenicity above 3% observed at multiple timepoints.

Brian and Brandi are part of a dynamic management team that is committed to making the promise of cell therapy a reality; they have done a lot of work over the last 2 years to set Lineage up as a leading cell therapy company.  We hope you are able to join our presentation on November 5th!
