Recent Findings of Phase 1/2a study of OpRegen:

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc is a California-based biotechnological company founded in 1990 and operating as the developer of treatment of patients suffering from degenerative diseases. Lineage stock today on June 1, 2021, revealed that two of the three Cohort 4 patients treated with OpRegen RPE Cells in the phase 1/2a study have shown retinal tissue restoration. The recent findings showed the presence of functional photoreceptors with RPE cells in the areas where no cells were previously present. Moreover, all three patients of this study have shown increased visual acuity within the 6 months after transplant, which is above the baseline levels. So, it is concluded that some portion of damaged retinal tissue is recoverable and atrophic age-related macular degeneration(AMD) is not irreversible. The LCTX stock has now filed the Patent Cooperation Treaty(PCT) patent application which describes the recent findings, and its allowed claims would expire on May 24, 2041.
