Lead Product in Development:
1) OZTx-410, Human iPSC-derived Pancreatic Islet Cells
OZTx-410 consists of highly engraftable, pure, and safe pancreatic cells. Transplantation enables patients to form pancreatic islet structures and physiologically control blood glucose levels in severe diabetes. We have already confirmed robust efficacy and safety in several animal models and will soon commence clinical trials as a treatment for brittle type I diabetes.
2) OZTx-556, Human iPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes
OZTx-556 comprises highly engraftable, pure, and safe cardiomyocytes. Transplantation enables patients to replenish cardiomyocytes lost in heart diseases and promotes remuscularization. We have already confirmed robust efficacy and safety in several animal models and will initiate clinical trials soon as a treatment for chronic heart failure.
