Company Presentation

GelMEDIX is a preclinical ophthalmology company, developing a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell therapy to treat Geographic Atrophy, the leading cause of blindness in American adults. The first and recently approved treatments have marginal clinical benefit, and current retinal cell therapies in= clinical development have shown encouraging early benefits, but suffer from fundamental procedural limitations potentially limiting their utility. GelMEDIX's proprietary, in situ forming hydrogel technology provides an injectable scaffold that protects cells during injection and provides a framework for tissue regeneration while localizing them to the target site, overcoming the limitations of current approaches. GelMEDIX has demonstrated compelling pre-clinical evidence of overcoming the delivery challenges with potential to regenerate the retina in both porcine and rabbit models. GMP process development will be complete in the second half of 2025 with IND-enabling studies commencing.
