Therapeutic Solutions International Granted Emergency IND by FDA for Expanded Patient Access to JadiCell™ Universal Donor Stem Cell for COVID-19 ARDS Outside of Ongoing Phase III Clinical Trial

Company Responds to Rapidly Growing COVID-19 Cases by Increasing Mechanisms to Make Lung Healing Cells Available

ELK CITY, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Therapeutic Solutions International announced today granting of Emergency IND # 28685 and a “May Proceed Notification” from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced COVID-19 ARDS outside of the currently ongoing Double Blind Placebo Controlled Phase III clinical trial for the same indication. The Company previously announced treatment of 15 "no option patients” under both “eIND” and “Right to Try” Law¹.

“Based on my clinical experience with the JadiCells, their therapeutic effects are unparalleled in comparison to any other stem cell therapy,” said Dr. James Veltmeyer, Chief Medical Officer of Therapeutic Solutions International. “With the increase in COVID-19 cases, as well as the anticipated deluge of COVID-19 ‘long hauler’ patients, it is imperative that we have mechanisms to provide these cells to patients who desperately need them, even if it is outside of the clinical trial. Our number one mission as a Company is to accelerate development of these cells as rapidly as possible and to save people’s lives.”

Previously the Company has demonstrated superior activity of JadiCells to other stem cells, as well as identifying mechanisms of action^2,3. The JadiCell is currently in Phase III for COVID-19 ARDS⁴, has been granted IND numbers for COPD⁵, and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy⁶, and is in late preclinical development for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis⁷.

“We are thankful for the brave doctors that approach us and work with us to provide accelerated access to potentially life-saving cell therapies such as JadiCells to their patients,” said Timothy Dixon, President, and CEO of Therapeutic Solutions International. “We are blessed to have very positive relations with the FDA which has allowed for rapid movement through the various regulatory hurdles involved in development and commercialization of stem cell therapies.”
