BioRestorative to reveal Phase 2 lumbar disc safety data and exosome proteomics

BRTXBRTX

BioRestorative Therapies will present safety and blinded efficacy results from its fully enrolled Phase 2 trial of hypoxic cultured MSC injections for chronic lumbar disc disease at ISCT 2026 on May 6. It will also unveil preclinical MSC exosome proteomics data supporting its therapeutic and BioCosmeceutical platforms.

1. ISCT 2026 Presentations

BioRestorative Therapies has scheduled two presentations at the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy Annual Meeting in Dublin on May 6. The morning session will feature safety and blinded efficacy findings from its fully enrolled Phase 2 study of hypoxic cultured MSC intradiscal injections in chronic lumbar disc disease, while the evening session will showcase MSC exosome proteomics preclinical research.

2. Ongoing Phase 2 Lumbar Disc Trial

The Phase 2 trial employs BRTX-100, an autologous mesenchymal stem cell product cultured under hypoxic conditions and injected into damaged lumbar discs. The study is fully enrolled and focuses on safety endpoints and blinded efficacy assessments in patients with persistent lumbosacral disc pain unresponsive to non-invasive therapies. An IND clearance also covers evaluation of BRTX-100 in chronic cervical discogenic pain.

3. MSC Exosome Proteomics Platform

Preclinical data will detail source-specific MSC exosome proteomics, highlighting potential therapeutic and cosmetic applications. BioRestorative’s BioCosmeceutical platform utilizes a cell-based secretome enriched with exosomes, growth factors and peptides, all formulated in a cGMP, ISO-7 cleanroom to support skin health and anti-aging performance.

4. Broader Pipeline and Outlook

Beyond the spinal program, the company is advancing ThermoStem®, a brown adipose-derived stem cell therapy targeting obesity and metabolic disorders through brown fat induction and exosome delivery. BioRestorative also plans IND-enabling studies to expand its cell-based biologic aesthetic products and pioneer FDA approvals in the emerging BioCosmeceuticals sector.
