30 days after infusion

* Is life-threatening (e.g., stroke or non-fatal pulmonary embolism). * Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. * Results in death * Results in other clinically significant untoward laboratory test result(s) or medical condition(s), determined per Investigator's judgment.

The ability of Lomecel-B (LMSC) treatment to improve inactivation of influenza virus as assessed by validated hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assays.
Baseline Visit, Vaccination Visits, Weeks 1, 2, 4, Month 6 and Month 12 Follow-Up Visits.

Measurements of validated hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assays at follow up visits.

To demonstrate the safety of LMSCs administered to subjects with Alzheimer's disease.
30 days post infusion

Incidence of any treatment-emergent serious adverse event (TE-SAE), defined as one or more of the following untoward medical occurrences happening within the first 30 days after infusion. * Life-threatening event (e.g., stroke or non-fatal pulmonary embolism). * Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. * Results in death. * Leads to other clinically significant untoward laboratory test result(s) or medical condition(s), determined per Investigator's judgement (e.g., new clinically asymptomatic brain microhemorrhages).

Frequently asked questions about Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells

What is Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells used for?

Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells, also known as Lomecel-B, is an investigational cell therapy being studied for aging frailty and Alzheimer's disease. It is in Phase 2 clinical development for aging frailty and has completed early-phase trials for both conditions.

What does Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells target?

Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells is a mesenchymal stem cell therapy, meaning it uses stem cells that can differentiate into various cell types and modulate immune responses. Its mechanism involves the regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties of these cells, though specific molecular targets are not detailed.

Who makes Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells?

Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells is developed by Longeveron Inc., a biopharmaceutical company publicly traded under the ticker LGVN. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the therapy for aging frailty and Alzheimer's disease.

What phase is Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells in?

Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells is in Phase 2 clinical development, specifically for aging frailty. It has completed Phase 1 trials for both aging frailty and Alzheimer's disease, and a Phase 2b trial for aging frailty has also been completed.

What clinical trials is Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells in?

Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells has completed three clinical trials: NCT02600130 for Alzheimer's disease, NCT02982915 for aging frailty, and NCT03169231, a Phase 2b trial for aging frailty. All trials were conducted in the United States and are now completed.

Is Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells the same as Lomecel-B?

Yes, Longeveron Mesenchymal Stem Cells is also known as Lomecel-B. The clinical trials for this therapy, including those for Alzheimer's disease and aging frailty, use the name Lomecel-B to refer to the investigational stem cell treatment.
