Regen BioPharma Inc. Submits Response to FDA Questions on HemaXellerate Investigational New Drug Application

SAN DIEGO, California, November 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Regen BioPharma RGBP and (OTC Pink: RGBP) announced today the submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of data and responses to questions posed by the FDA with regards to HemaXellerate .  The data package submitted contained the final preclinical toxicology experiments performed by Charles River Laboratories CRL on behalf of Regen as well as details of the proposed clinical trial.  Results of all studies demonstrated lack of toxicity and the Company is optimistic that all concerns presented by the FDA have been addressed and that the FDA will grant clearance to the Company to initiate clinical trials on HemXellerate.  HemXellerate  is a  cellular drug being developed by the Company  designed to heal damaged bone marrow

"Because HemaXellerate is a personalized cell therapy product aimed at addressing an unmet medical need, we are in agreement with the FDA in performing the most rigorous safety and efficacy experiments in order to deliver this promising product to patients who at the moment have no other options," said David Koos, PhD, Chairman and CEO of Regen.

HemaXellerate is comprised of cells extracted from the patient's own fat tissue and processed using a proprietary method so as to induce a biological response in the patient that heals damaged bone marrow and restores ability of the body to generate healthy blood cells.  Animal studies by Regen and others have demonstrated that the cells in HemaXellerate are capable of accelerating production of blood cells after treatment with radiation or chemotherapy. Some of the studies are described in a peer-reviewed paper published by the Journal of Translational Medicine. (http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/pdf/s12967-015-0688-5.pdf).

"Having recently joined the Regen team I am impressed by the simplicity and potency of the HemaXellerate approach.  The ability to concurrently leverage the immune modulatory and hematopoiesis stimulatory property of the cells in HemaXellerate position this product to make an impact on the terrible condition of severe aplastic anemia.  The data package we sent to the FDA should, I believe, allay any remaining concerns," said Harry Lander, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regen BioPharma, Inc.
