Cellin Technologies and Hospital of Reconstructive Surgery collaboration project got 1 155 500 EUR funding from Enterprise Estonia (EAS). The project is funded as part of the European Union’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Project title:
​
"Use of activated autologous mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases"
​
Aim of the project and results:
The aim of the joint action of the Hospital Of Reconstructive Surgery (HRS) and Cellin Technologies (CT) is to treat patients with critical limb ischemia with a novel cellular drug in a frame of hospital exemption. Drug manufacturing technology involves isolating regenerative cells from a patient's adipose tissue, culturing and treating the cells in a laboratory, and returning them to the same patient. We have started the process of patenting the relevant technology.
​
The use of this drug is intended for people for whom it is not possible to find a solution by conventional methods and whose symptoms are so severe that the only option is leg amputation. It is necessary to pay attention here to the fact that after amputation of the leg, a large part of patients has lost their ability to move independently. Patients who have their legs amputated above the knee can regain their independent mobility in only 30% of cases. The developed technology is expected to reduce ischemic pain (reduce inflammation in the leg), promote the formation of new blood vessels and save up to 30% of the legs that are amputated today. In the long perspective, this treatment method is cost-effective from the point of view of the Health Insurance.
​
The safety and efficacy of the treatment shall be assessed during the hospital exemption. The positive outcome of this activity will allow us to advance to Phase I / II of clinical trials with our novel stem cell-based drug. The impact of this project on the goal is directly positive, it is a direct help to carry out one of the crucial steps in achieving the final goal of the companies. The impact of the project on Estonian healthcare system would be undoubtedly great. It would be noticed in the world and would benefit Estonia as a country with a great reputation for biotechnology in the world.
​
Summary of the project for the public:
The aim of this project is to develop a novel cellular drug for the treatment of ischemic blood vessels. The developed drug is a “piece of art” technology because it is made from the patient's stem cells for each specific case. This technology is based on a patent application filed by us (HRS and CT) which is in the international phase and which has been positively evaluated by experts. This treatment technology can save up to 30% of the legs that are amputated today due to ischemia.
