FibroBiologics Files Patent Application Covering Reduction of Blood Clots Associated with Instant Blood-Mediated Inflammatory Reaction (IBMIR) in Cell-Based Therapeutics
November 14 2024 - 9:15AM
FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics"), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company with 160+ patents issued and
pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and
potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and
fibroblast-derived materials, announced the filing of a patent
application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
covering methods employing fibroblasts or other Tissue Factor
(TF)-expressing cells to prevent IBMIR-mediated blood clotting.
This patent application addresses a critical
challenge in cell therapy: the risk of instant IBMIR, which can
lead to complications such as complement activation, immune cell
infiltration, platelet adhesion and coagulation (clotting) that
endanger the effectiveness and safety of cell-based treatment.
Reducing inflammatory and coagulative responses has the potential
to transform therapeutic protocols for intravascular, subcutaneous,
and intraperitoneal cell administration and could provide safer and
more effective treatments for patients worldwide.
"This patent application describes how we may be
able to improve cell therapies by reducing adverse events and
rejection by the body's immune system, potentially eliminating
blood clotting triggered by the body's inflammatory response," said
Pete O'Heeron, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of
FibroBiologics.
"This approach harnesses the natural properties
of fibroblasts and other TF-expressing cells to minimize the risks
of, and overcome, IBMIR, a well-known limitation in cell therapy
treatments," said Hamid Khoja, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of
FibroBiologics. "By reducing the inflammatory responses to
therapeutic cells, we have developed a unique approach that can
make cell therapy treatments potentially safer and more effective.
This advancement exemplifies our goal to transform what is possible
in the cell therapy space."

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This communication contains "forward-looking
statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information
concerning the potential of fibroblasts and TF-expressing cells to
reduce inflammatory and coagulative responses and adverse events,
to potentially eliminate blood clotting triggered by the body’s
inflammatory response, to potentially transform therapeutic
protocols, to provide safer and more effective treatments, to
minimize the risks of, and overcome, IBMIR, and to transform what
is possible in the cell therapy space. These forward-looking
statements are based on FibroBiologics' management's current
expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a
number of assumptions concerning future events. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

risks related to FibroBiologics' liquidity and its ability to
maintain capital resources sufficient to conduct its business; (b)
expectations regarding the initiation, progress and expected
results of our R&D efforts and preclinical studies; (c) the
unpredictable relationship between R&D and preclinical results
and clinical study results; and (d) the ability of FibroBiologics
to successfully prosecute its patent applications. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
and FibroBiologics assumes no obligation and, except as required by
