(ExCellThera), a world leader in enhanced blood stem cell expansion for therapeutic use, announced today that CEO David Millette will be presenting at Biotech Showcase and its senior leaders, including CEO, David Millette and Founder and CSO, Dr. Guy Sauvageau, will be holding investor meetings during the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Both events take place from January 13 to 16, 2025, in San Francisco, California.
Biotech Showcase (Presentation)
The presentation will provide an overview of the company, including:
- its proprietary technologies in cell and gene therapy, including molecule UM171 which has a first-in-class mechanism of action for ex vivo expansion and metabolic fitness of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs); and
- clinical results, updates, near-term catalysts and commercial opportunities for UM171 Cell Therapy (INN/USAN-dorocubicel), which is now in late-stage development.

About UM171 Cell Therapy
UM171 Cell Therapy (INN/USAN-dorocubicel), developed by Cordex Biologics, a wholly owned subsidiary of ExCellThera, has been evaluated in 120 patients with hematologic malignancies in clinical trials in the United States, Europe and Canada. UM171 Cell Therapy has received orphan drug designation and regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designations from the FDA as well as orphan medicinal product designation, advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) classification and priority medicines (PRIME) designation from the EMA.
UM171 Cell Therapy has successfully completed Phase 2 trials in patients with high and very high-risk acute leukemias and myelodysplasias who have limited treatment options with low survival outcomes and high incidence of relapse under the current standard of care, including patients with refractory or active disease, patients requiring a second transplant, and patients with TP53 mutations or other genetic abnormalities. A pivotal Phase 3 trial in this patient population will be initiated as soon as possible.
Earlier this year, a Market Authorisation Application (MAA) for UM171 Cell Therapy was accepted for review under an accelerated assessment procedure by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), for adult patients with hematological malignancies requiring a stem cell transplant for whom no suitable donor cells are available.
The use of UM171 Cell Therapy in other patient populations, including pediatric patients and patients with non-malignant hematological diseases, is also being explored.
UM171 Cell Therapy is an investigational cell therapy, and its safety and efficacy have not been established by the FDA, EMA, Health Canada or any other health authority.
