8 Concept of “SCTP” FDA (1997) KFDA (2002)
The FDA proposed a new approach to the regulation of human cellular and tissue-based products. Docket Number 97N-0068 (Feb. 28, 1997) The KFDA set up ‘the concept of cell therapy’ by revising “The regulation of safety & efficacy test of drug”. KFDA Notification No “Cell therapy product” means a medicinal product manufactured through physical, chemical, and/or biological manipulation, such as in vitro culture of autologous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic cells. KFDA Notification No (Amended on June 29, 2010) The FDA proposed the management of human-derived cells or tissues to be approached step-by-step based on the degree of given-risk to patients.

19 Clinical Trials

20 Clinical Study - Stroke
Indication Occurs when blood vessel to the brain is blocked and there is damage to brain cells leading to loss of brain functions Accompanied by speech impairment, cognitive impairment, and dyspraxia Market status 2nd leading cause of Korean deaths, 1st in mortality rate among diseases Total 26,517 dead in 2010 Current treatments fundamental treatment impossible thrombolytic agents used to open blood vessels  treatment effects low and pertains to only 1~2% stroke patients Pharmicell research MRI showed clear decrease in brain damage and contraction Clear increase of ability for daily life conduct / decrease in disability Independent walking possible after 6 months of transplant (increase in physical ability) Commercialization Phase III clinical trial currently under progress Clinical results secured

21 Clinical Study - Stroke
Oh Young Bang,Jin Soo Lee Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Ajou University Background & Objective : Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has been shown to improve functional recovery after ischaemic stroke in animal studies. We examined the feasibility, efficacy and safety of cell replacement therapy using culture-expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patients with ischaemic stroke. Methods : After standard therapy of acute cerebral infarction, we prospectively randomised 30 patients with ischaemic stroke who had had cerebral infarcts within the middle cerebral arterial territory and shown severe neurological deficits; the MSC group, i.e. autologous 1x10(8) MSCs (the dose that was effective in animal studies) intravenous infusion (n=5), and control group (n=25). Changes in neurological deficits and functional improvement were compared between the groups, for up to one year after symptom onset. Neuroimaging was per! formed serially in 5 patients of both groups. Result : All outcomes measurements were significantly improved in patients of the MSC group compared with those of the control group; the Barthel index (P=0.01 at 3months, P=0.05 at 6months, and P=0.04 at 12months) and modified Rankin score group (P=0.04 at 3months, P=0.03 at 6months, and P=0.02 at 12months) of the MSC group were consistent in identifying a trend toward improved scores during follow-up period. Serial evaluations showed no adverse cell-related serologic or imaging-defined effects. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no evidence of mass formation, and atrophic changes around infracted area was less prominent at the follow-up imaging. Conclusions : In patients with severe cerebral infarcts, intravenous infusion of autologous MSCs appears to be feasible and safe and may beneficially affect functional recovery.

38 Global Market Size for Liver Disease
In 2009, the global market for drugs used to treat liver disease was worth approximately $12.4 billion. Sales in 2010 decreased and the market did not see much progress, causing overall global sales to remain stagnant at $12.4 billion. Estimated sales in 2011 a projected $12 billion (excluding protease inhibitors).  The market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 3.3% and reach nearly $14.2 billion by 2016. The U.S. region constituted approximately 36% of the total market for drugs used to treat liver disease in 2010 and was valued at $4.5 billion. In 2011, the market continued to decrease and will hit nearly $4.2 billion. BCC expects this market to increase in the future rising at a CAGR of 3% to reach nearly $4.9 billion by 2016. The European market constituted approximately 31% of the total market and was $3.8 billion in This market is expected to see a decrease in 2011 totaling nearly $3.6 billion. This market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 1% and should be worth $3.7 billion by 2016.

• A LVEF of 40% was an important predictor of 3-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] , 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.68 to 9.85, p 0.001). ※ Source: Am J Cardiol Jun 1;105(11): Epub 2010 Apr 14.

46 Case Study (June 2012) • The initial electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation in the anterior leads. • Transthoracic Echocardiography demonstrated akinesia in the anterior wall with a decreased left ventricular systolic function (EF=38.4%). • Baseline coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a total occlusion in proximal left anterior descending artery(LAD) and no critical stenosis in other coronary arteries (Fig. 2). Fig.1 The electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in leads of V1-V5. Fig.2 Baseline coronary angiogram showed total occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending artery. ※ Source: The Korean Society of Cardiology ‘Intervention of the Month (

47 Case Study (June 2012) • Baseline M-SPECT showed moderate LV dysfunction (EF=33%) with large severe fixed defect in the anterior wall (Fig. 4). • One month after percutaneous coronary intervention, his stem cell therapy was done. • Follow up CAG showed a patent stent in p-LAD. Fig.3 Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in left anterior descending artery using 3.0x34 mm Resolute Integrity®. Fig.4 Baseline M-SPECT showed moderate left ventricular dysfunction(Ejection fraction=33%) with large severe fixed defect in the anterior wall. ※ Source: The Korean Society of Cardiology ‘Intervention of the Month (

48 Case Study (June 2012) • Subsequently, we performed ballooning twice every 30 seconds to temporarily induce occlusion of coronary blood flow (Fig. 5). • At this important point, stem cells should not be exposed with contrast because of its toxicity. • Three months later, follow up M-SPECT showed markedly reduced size of infarcted myocardium and improvement in a left ventricular systolic function (EF=44%, almost 11%↑) (Fig. 6). Fig.5 A Helios balloon catheter (OSCAR Inc.) was located in proximal site of stent, and then stem cell culture medium was infused via intracoronary. Subsequently, we performed ballooning every 30 seconds twice for temporarily induced occlusion of coronary blood flow. Fig.6 Three months later, follow-up M-SPECT showed markedly reduced size of infarcted myocardium and improved left ventricular systolic function (Ejection fraction=44%). ※ Source: The Korean Society of Cardiology ‘Intervention of the Month (
