TiGenix NV (Euronext Brussels: TIG) is an advanced biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics from its proprietary platforms of allogeneic, or donor-derived, expanded stem cells.
Two products from the adipose-derived stem cell technology platform are currently in clinical development.
- Cx601 is in Phase III for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas in Crohn’s disease patients.
On July 4, 2016, we entered into a licensing agreement with Takeda, a large pharmaceutical company active in gastroenterology, under which Takeda acquired the exclusive right to commercialize Cx601 for complex perianal fistulas outside the United States.
- Cx611 has completed a Phase I sepsis challenge trial and a Phase I/II trial in rheumatoid arthritis.
Effective July 31, 2015, TiGenix acquired Coretherapix, whose lead cellular product, AlloCSC-01, is currently in a Phase II clinical trial in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
In addition, the second product candidate from the cardiac stem cell-based platform acquired from Coretherapix, AlloCSC-02, is being developed in a chronic indication.
TiGenix is based in Leuven, Belgium, and has operations in Madrid, Spain.
