Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage, regenerative-medicine biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for rare, life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions, is reporting on its second-quarter 2024 financial results, as well as key business milestones. Highlights of the report include positive data from LGNV’s phase 2a clinical trial designed to evaluate Lomecel-B(TM) in Alzheimer’s disease being presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference(R) (“AAIC”); receiving both Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (“RMAT”) designation and Fast Track designation for Lomecel-B from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”); reaching 70% enrollment in phase 2b clinical trial evaluating Lomecel-B in rare pediatric disease Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (“HLHS”); and financing transaction and warrant exercises raising $15.3 million in gross proceeds, which will be used to fund continued clinical development.
“In the second quarter, we continued to make strong progress advancing our investigational cellular therapy candidate, Lomecel-B, as a potential treatment for both Alzheimer’s disease and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS),” said Longeveron CEO Wa’el Hashad in the press release. “With the capital we have recently raised from warrant exercises and equity transactions, including participation from certain board members and insiders of the company in one of those transactions, we believe we have capital sufficient to fund the company through the fourth quarter of 2025.”
