Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions, was spotlighted in a recent H.C. Wainwright & Co. research report after the Company’s announcement about receiving a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for a patent application related to the use of Lomecel-B(TM) in Aging-related Frailty sufferers receiving vaccines for conditions such as COVID-19 and influenza.
“In our view, the notice of patent allowance further bolsters the Lomecel-B(TM) intellectual property (‘IP’) estate and may serve as a life-cycle management (‘LCM’) tool should additional evidence support the agent’s value in treating frailty patients,” wrote Boobalan Pachaiyappan, Ph.D, in the report. “Investors should note that we do not currently ascribe any value to the frailty program; however, positive updates may constitute upside to our forecasts. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and 12-month target of $6 per share.”
In the press release announcing the Notice of Allowance last week, Joshua M. Hare, M.D., FACC, FAHA, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of Longeveron, stated, “these newly allowed claims extend our patent estate to include the use of Lomecel-B(TM) in conjunction with or after patients receive vaccines to enhance vaccine immune response. We believe this use for Lomecel-B(TM) and the broader potential it holds for patients in our current Aging-related Frailty and Alzheimer’s disease trials reflects the broader potential of Lomecel-B(TM).”
