StemCells, Inc., Rejects $20 Million from California Stem Cell Agency
By Dr. Matthew Watson
When does a financially struggling
biotech company turn down a $20 million “forgivable loan?”
Ca., and the cash is being offered by the $3 billion California stem
cell agency. The research program has handed out nearly 600 awards, and it is the first time that a recipient has rejected funding.
cell saga that began publicly last July and that involved unusual personal lobbying by the former chairman of the Golden State's stem cell research agency. The high point of the saga may have come in
September when the agency's governing board finished awarding
StemCells, Inc., $40 million in two different awards. But there was a
catch. StemCells Inc., had to match that figure with $40 million of
its own.
in the towel on the $20 million awarded on its cervical spinal cord
injury application. In comments to analysts March 21, Rodney Young,
chief financial officer of the publicly traded company, said:
“The funding would have been in the
form of a forgivable loan, however, we have elected not to borrow
these funds from CIRM(the stem cell agency).”
“You may also recall that last
September, CIRM approved a separate application under the same
disease team program for Alzheimer's disease, which was also for up
to $20 million in the form of a loan. We remain in confidential
negotiations with CIRM regarding the terms and conditions that would
attach to this loan.”
rejecting the cash, either in the conference call transcript or in
its press release.
Inc., reported continuing losses. For 2012, net losses totaled $28.5
million compared to $21.3 million in 2011. Revenue for 2012 was $1.4
million compared to $1.2 million in the previous year.
Inc., founded by Stanford's eminent researcher Irv Weissman, stirred
up a bit of a ruckus. The spinal injury award was handed out
routinely in July. Scientific reviewers gave it a score of 79 and
recommended funding. It was another matter on the Alzheimer's
application. It was scored at 61. Reviewers said it did not merit
funding. But the company publicly appealed to the full board, which sent the
application back for more examination. It was rejected again.
Nonetheless, in September, the 29-member board approved the award on
a 7-5 vote, bypassing a rival Alzheimer's application scored at 63.
It was the first time in the eight-year-history of the agency that
its board approved an application that was rejected twice by
reviewers.
lobbying by Robert Klein, former chairman of the board. Klein was
also chairman of the ballot campaign that created the agency, and
Weissman, who holds stock in StemCells, Inc., and sits on its board,
was a major fundraiser for the campaign.
Prize-winning columnist, Michael Hiltzik, wrote in October that
the process was “redolent of cronyism.” He said a
“charmed relationship” existed among StemCells, Inc., its
“powerful friends” and the stem cell agency.
Martin McGlynn, CEO of StemCells, Inc., expects “quick” action on
finally securing the cash.
the March conference call between McGlynn and analyst Kaey Nakae of
Ascendiant Capital Markets.
Nakae: “Okay. Just 2 more questions.
I guess the first one, as it relates to CIRM.
In deciding to decline the funding for spinal cord yet continuing to
pursue the funding for Alzheimer's, is there a difference in what
you're getting from them in terms of potential terms and conditions
that allow you to proceed on one and not the other, or is it the fact
that you're already in human with -- in spine, and still very
preclinical with Alzheimer's?”
McGlynn: :”I think you're very
definitely -- you're getting at some important criteria when one
considers how to fund programs whether you use debt or equity,
etcetera. So I wouldn't disagree with anything that you've outlined
or surmised. But I just would pray your indulgence until we're
finished, the negotiations with CIRM, which are coming to a close and
we expect those to resolve pretty quickly with regards to the
Alzheimer's program. And then quite frankly, we can be way more
forthcoming and way more disclosive with regards not only to our
decisions, but to our thinking.”

Andain Inc. Discusses and Provides Update on its Breakthrough Stem Cell Therapy for the Treatment and Regeneration of …
By LizaAVILA
ARAD, Israel, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Andain Inc. (ANDN) ("Andain" or the "Company"), a company engaged in commercializing novel technologies in biotech, medical and life sciences fields through its incubator program, today discussed and provided an update on its breakthrough, innovative stem cell therapy for treating and regenerating severely damaged muscle tissue.
Andain's innovative stem cell therapy technology rehabilitates and heals damaged muscle tissue by initiating regenerative myogenic cells (cardiac muscle), as well as striated muscle cells (skeletal muscle) growth in damaged tissue sites such as the myocardium (cardiac muscle) following an myocardial infarction (heart attack), limb pressure ulcers, and degenerative muscular diseases. The short term application is directed towards the treatment of patients with peripheral vascular disease, while the long term application is focused on the healing and regeneration of cardiac muscle following acute myocardial infarction or chronic heart failure.
Employing a patient's own cells (autologic transplantation), the Company's unique technology and process diverts the patient's own cells into specific targeted myogenic cells, which can then be inserted into the damaged tissue and accelerates the healing process. The administered myogenic or skeletal stem cells work as a network, acting in exactly the same way that the cells of skeletal and heart muscle tissue perform, and actually replenish the existing cells, thus strengthening the intended injured site following the transplantation process. This process can be utilized for different clinical pathologies as mentioned above and can also be utilized for patient using different donor as the source of the stem cells.
Our developed technology and protocols results in a promising safe regenerative therapy, without side effects, tissue rejection or the requirement of suppressive immunological treatment or malignant tumor hazard. Our technology also provides a simple, fast and safe treatment, overcoming technological difficulties associated with using other stem cell therapies sources such as embryonic, placenta, or umbilical cord blood cells that require cryogenic storage.
Andain's President and CEO Sam Elimelech, commented, "The field of stem cell therapeutics is in its early stages of growth as companies and researchers continue to uncover the vast potential and promising uses for them in the treatment and prevention of countless tissue injuries and diseases. We are in an excellent position to capitalize on the emergence of this new market. It is our belief that Orcell's cutting-edge technology and process is unique in regard to the fact that it allows for the safe and efficient directing of the patients own cells as into myogenic cells or striated muscle cells, thus eliminating the hazards associated with rejection and malignant tumors. Via our industrial incubator platform and expert scientific team, we look forward to helping Orcell commence their clinical trials later this year and make considerable progress of their technology and process closer to market."
Andain's incubator platform is currently undergoing with its stem cell technology a build-up of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) production line as a preparation for the FDA approval stage with clinical trials scheduled for Q1 2014 at one of the foremost Heart centers in Israel under the direction of Professor Mickey Scheinowitz, one of Israel's leading scientists who gained vast experience in the understanding and treating of cardiovascular diseases.
