Reprogenix Bioscience’s lead candidate, RGB-5088, is chemically-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived islets (CiPSC-islets) with clinically-demonstrated safety and efficacy for diabetes therapy. Findings from the pilot clinical study of RGB-5088 was published in Cell [DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.09.004], and showed for the first time rapid reversal of diabetes and insulin independence – as quickly as 75 days post-transplantation. RGB-5088 has received IND approval, and Phase 1 clinical trial has commenced, with Phase 2/3 trials anticipated to begin in 2026, and biologics license application projected for Oct 2027. Reprogenix is led by Dr. Hongkui Deng – a world-renowned pioneer in regenerative medicine, particularly for his establishment of non-genetic cellular reprogramming technologies for which he was awarded the Future Science Prize in Life Sciences in 2024, Dr. Lieming Ding, pharmaceutical industry leader and innovator of oncology therapies, and biotech entrepeneur Ms. Casey Lou.
