BioCardia announces primary endpoint results of CardiAMP trial

BioCardia announced the primary endpoint results of the open label roll-in cohort of the CardiAMP Cell Therapy in Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Trial. Results from the open label roll-in cohort of patients having chronic myocardial ischemia with refractory angina showed an average increase in exercise tolerance of 107 seconds and an average of 82% reduction in angina episodes at the primary six-month follow-up endpoint compared to before receiving the study treatment. All of the patients responded positively to therapy, as measured by increased exercise tolerance and greatly reduced angina. “The clinical research results presented for the roll-in cohort from our CardiAMP CMI Trial highlight BioCardia’s continuing efforts to transform the treatment paradigm in refractory angina through the promise of a one-time cost effective minimally invasive autologous cell-based therapy,” said Peter Altman, President and CEO. “These results strongly support our continued development of this novel therapeutic approach and enhance the value of our CardiAMP cell therapy platform for shareholders and future partners.”
