Cytomedix Announces Landmark Bright Cell Therapy Study in Peripheral Arterial Disease

GAITHERSBURG, MD--(Marketwire - Dec 6, 2012) - Cytomedix, Inc. ( OTCQX : CMXI ) (the "Company"), a regenerative therapies company commercializing and developing innovative platelet and adult stem cell technologies, announced today the signing of an agreement with NIH to collaborate on a Phase 2 clinical study in patients with intermittent claudication (IC).IC is caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition causing reduced flow of blood and oxygen to muscles of the leg. The study is being funded by NHLBI/NIH and managed by the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN), which is also responsible for enrolling patients. The CCTRN is a network that includes seven centers in the United States with experience and expertise in stem cell clinical trials studying treatments for cardiovascular heart diseases.

The Phase 2 PACE (Patients with Intermittent Claudication Injected with ALDH Bright Cells) study is an 80 patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial intended to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of ALD-301 (Bright Cells) in patients diagnosed with IC.The primary endpoints of the study are safety and the change in peak walking time at 6 months compared to baseline.Additionally, changes in leg collateral arterial anatomy, calf muscle blood flow, and tissue perfusion as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be examined. These novel MRI techniques are incorporated into the study to assess perfusion, providing a unique set of data potentially supporting the angiogenic mechanism of Bright Cells.The clinical study has received Investigational New Drug approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is expected to begin enrollment in Q1 2013 upon the Investigational Review Board approvals from the participating centers.

Martin P. Rosendale, Chief Executive Officer of Cytomedix, stated, "We are delighted that the CCTRN has chosen to collaborate with Cytomedix on this study.Our February acquisition of Aldagen and the Bright Cell technology has positioned us well to play a leading role in investigating promising clinical paths in regenerative medicine where there exists significant unmet medical need.We look forward to supplying a highly differentiated personalized cell therapy product to the participating CCTRN centers involved with this important PAD indication.Intermittent claudication is a serious consequence of arteriosclerosis which, if left untreated, will likely progress to pain at rest and possibly open wounds.Our experience with the AutoloGel product and the clinical treatment of lower extremity wounds resulting from CLI has provided us with a full appreciation of the difficult clinical outcomes associated with this compromised patient population.We are hopeful that improvements in lower leg blood flow will lead to increased peak walking time which has been accepted as an FDA approvable endpoint in pivotal Phase 3 trials in IC."

"This is the first randomized clinical trial to look at the benefits of autologous stem cell therapy in PAD patients with IC. It will collect important mechanistic and clinical information on the efficacy and safety of the direct injection of Bright Cells into these patients. It will also evaluate the utility of advanced imaging endpoints that could be used in the future to further understand the impact of novel therapies in this patient population," added Lem Moy, M.D., Ph.D., professor of biostatistics at the University of Texas School of Public Health, Houston, and co-author of the study protocol.

PAD is a major unmet medical need affecting approximately 8 to 10 million patients in the U.S. IC is a significant subset of the PAD population and is characterized by pain in the lower legs while in motion that resolves upon rest.Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the advanced form of PAD, and is associated with poor clinical outcomes and increased morbidity.An important goal of medical intervention is to attempt to prevent the progression of patients from IC to CLI.This clinical studybuilds on the strong data showing increased blood flow and improved clinical status from Cytomedix's previous Phase 1/2 study of ALD-301 in CLI published last year ("A Randomized, Controlled Study of Autologous Therapy with Bone Marrow-Derived Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Bright Cells in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia" Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 2011).In the PACE study, ALD-301 will be delivered in the same manner, via direct, intramuscular injection in a grid pattern of the affected lower limb.Cytomedix will be responsible for manufacturing ALD-301 for the clinical trial and will have certain rights todata generated during the trial.

About ALD-301/ALDH Bright CellsALD-301 is a population of autologous pluripotent stem cells isolated from the patients' bone marrow using Cytomedix' proprietary Bright Cell technology.These adult stem cells express high levels of the enzyme ALDH, an indicator of biological activity in heterogeneous early stage stem cells.Preclinical research suggests that ALD-301 may promote the repair of ischemic tissue damage by producing signaling molecules that are involved in cell recruitment, cell adhesion, and angiogenesis.

About Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN) and NHLBIThe CCTRN includes seven main stem cell centers in the United States with experience and expertise in clinical trials studying treatments for cardiovascular diseases.They are the Texas Heart Institute, the University of Florida at Gainesville, Minneapolis Heart Institute, Stanford University, University of Louisville, University of Miami and the Vascular and Cardiac Center for Adult Stem Cell Therapy in Indianapolis, Indiana.The CCTRN has successfully completed and published the results of three adult stem cell trials to date (TIME, LateTIME, and FOCUS).Further information on CCTRN is available at: cctrn.org.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is a component of the National Institutes of Health. NHLBI plans, conducts, and supports research related to the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart, blood vessel, lung, and blood diseases; and sleep disorders. The Institute also administers national health education campaigns on women and heart disease, healthy weight for children, and other topics. NHLBI press releases and other materials are available at: nhlbi.nih.gov.

About Cytomedix, Inc.

Missing Mayan Codex Surfaces to be Unveiled to the World in Chicago December 10th

CHICAGO, Dec. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With parts of the world gridlocked with the fear of an impending "doomsday" on December 21st, 2012, a previously unknown Mayan Codex is brought to light by the family entrusted to safeguard it since the 1700's. To date only four codices of the thousands of codices originally created by the Mayan civilization have been authenticated to the time period. Although the codex has not been translated, a handful of preeminent scholars preliminary analysis reveals time after the December 21st date, and the piece carries significant importance as to content of the writings and its relationship to the Mayan calendar.

The team of researchers and specialists on the project is lead by Jerry J. Ferrara of Global Quest TV, who is often referred to as a real life "Indiana Jones." Ferrara, who serves as custodian to the Codex's owners ancient texts and artifact collection, has never seen anything quite like this piece. Ferrera was recently featured in a National Geographic special for his role in the groundbreaking "Bahia Emerald" story.

"I love what I do for a living. The Bahia Emerald was quite a discovery and project to be part of, but it is in a completely different category than the unknown codex. I have spent quite a bit of time with the family's collection and every scholar we have had look at the piece over the last year is in awe," commented Jerry J. Ferrara.

With only three Mayan Codices garnering complete acceptance by scholars and scientist (Dresden, Madrid, and Paris and the fourth, but not completely accepted Grollier), this particular codex has significant importance due to the time period it is from. Leading forensic researcher Roderick McNeil's original analysis dated the codex to 1540 AD (+/- 70 years) which places it towards the end of the Mayan civilization. The initial analysis methods gave only a 1 in 10,000 chance that the piece came from a period outside of that margin. The codex is also referenced to speak of both spiritual enlightenment as well as writings not previously seen in any of the presently accepted codices.

"We are honored to have the foremost experts in the world complete a second analysis next week. McCrone Associates are the most regarded in the industry, and have had a hand in some of the most treasured relics in the history of humanity," continued Ferrara. "Although it went through the original analysis in the early 1990's, we wanted to bring Joseph G. Barabe, a Senior Research Microscopist at McCrone Associates in to perform a second analysis now that it has been 20 years since the original project."

McCrone Associates Inc. have been involved in some of the most revolutionary discoveries since the history of civilization. McCrone Associates also received much media attention for their analysis of the Gospel of Judas and their role in the restoration and preservation of Abraham Zapruder's 8 mm film of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Due to the significance of the piece and the timing of the analysis in relation to the Mayan Calendar's impending long count end, media interviews will be limited. "We are asking media to contact us directly. Our team will have unprecedented camera access inside McCrone Associates during the process and we will be making portions of the testing process video and both stills and video of the piece available to the media," commented Chris Foltz, whose firm Christopher Foltz & Company is handling the public affairs for this historic project.

Members of the media and international press core are asked to contact Chris Foltz at 312-772-4865 or codex@christopherfoltz.com.

Certified Astro-Clairvoyant Norah Guide With Premium Astrology Now Offers Insight Into Transit Periods

Certified Astro Clairvoyant Norah Guide with Premium Astrology has been providing astrological reports, transit period guides, and astrological forecasts to men and women across the globe for years. Insight gained from transit period information can provide clarity and direction in the lives of those seeking education and enlightenment through the use of astrological reports, and is now provided by Norah Guide and Premium Astrology through their wide range of services.

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) December 07, 2012

There is a large body of both anecdotal and quantitative evidence to indicate that transit periods can represent significant areas of change for an individual, or for their lives. While not every astrologer will use transit period information to provide insight into the charts of their clients, Norah Guide believes transit period information is very helpful in supporting the needs of her clients. A transit period is defined as the period that occurs when a planet makes a significant transit in an individuals chart. The outer planets that are located beyond the asteroid belt Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are the planets offering the most significance in terms of their transit periods or transit returns. Because these planets require more time to make their transit through each of the astrological signs of the zodiac, when they make a return in an individuals chart to the time of birth it denotes a potential area of significant change for the individual in question.

The Saturn Return is just one example of a significant transit period, and marks the period of an individuals life when the planet Saturn returns to the sign it was in at the time of the persons birth. For Saturn specifically, a Saturn Return is expected every thirty years of an individuals life, thus making their 30th year and 60th year of life significant in terms of long lasting changes potentially taking place.

Norah Guide and Premium Astrology offer an abundance of sources of information and services to clients requesting more information on their own specific transit periods. From detailed transit period guides and astrological reports to general information about what the specific transit periods are, Norah Guide and Premium Astrology offer a level of commitment and support to each of their clients seeking this information that surpasses the level of many organizations providing similar services.

"New Inmates", Episode 33 of Journey Into Space
"He was turned all green in the great radiation beam when he traveled space for the future of the Kerbal race. Nobody wants him, He just stares at Kerbin Planning his vengeance, It #39;s destruction soon will begin..." (with apologies to Black Sabbath) 😉 No one knows exactly how the Kerbal Space Center comes by their astronauts. Perhaps they are idealistic young men/women/things who believe in a bright Kerbal future in space. Perhaps they are dangerous criminals that society no longer wants on Kerbin. Perhaps they are poor unfortunates whose number comes up in a lottery, conscripts who are sacrificed for the future of Kerbalkind. Sort of like a spacefaring version of The Hunger Games. 😉 Whatever the truth of the matter, the fact is that most of those who go up to the new Interkerbin Space Station aren #39;t gonna come back to Kerbin. Some will head off to the planets on the next interplanetary mission. Some might move their locale to a moon base some day. And some might just spin around the planet until they die of old age, radiation sickness or unexpected drastic decompression. In this episode, we add a couple bits to the station, and add a whole bunch of new fresh faces by launching a passenger rocket with 3 crew and 4 passengers. Since the landing of that passenger rocket proves somewhat iffy for the passenger section, it appears that we might not be able to get them back safely even if we wanted to. Which, we don #39;t. Welcome to space. 😉 ******************* Bottle Ships ...From:Robert DoddViews:21 3ratingsTime:01:35:04More inEntertainment

Kerbal Space Program: Apollo Mun Mission + Docking Tutorial
In this episode of Kerbal Space Program, we send 3 astronauts to the moon (mun). You may have many questions such as: Why are we sending them to the Mun? It is believed that their are Communists Kerbals roaming Kerbin with their own secret space center hiding somewhere on the planet. There is also a big indent in the planet where we believe they are testing nuclear weapons. Sure, they say its from a meteor that struck the planet, that #39;s what the media WANTS you to believe, but we know better. WE ARE DEALING WITH VIDEOGAME NUCLEAR COMMUNISTS WHO WANT TO TAKE OVER! So, um again why does going to the Mun help? Oh yeah, well we believe that if we takeover the mun then they won #39;t bomb us and that way we can win a space race that we invented and slow down there nuclear production. Don #39;t you think that #39;s stupid? I do think the word "that #39;s" is stupid. What do you plan to do about these nuclear terrorist communists in the future? We will bomb there base and there bombsite. We will even go kamikaze if we need to. What makes this mission so special? We are doing it in a super efficient Apollo style (Kerpollo) which is slightly more efficient and this could be the proof of concept to many missions to come? Do you have any plans to use your space station? FUTURE EPISODES MY SON! What is the Docking Tutorial? I will be giving tips and tricks on docking and how to transfer fuel throughout the video.
