Hopstem is dedicated to developing allogeneic iPSC cell therapy for global CNS diseases patients. Our first iPSC cell therapy product hNPC01, the forebrain neural progenitor cell injection, received IND clearance on treating chronic ischemic stroke from NMPA in June 2023 and FDA in March 2024. A total of 23 patients > 6 months of stroke onset with severe motor dysfunction, received hNPC01 intracerebral injection, and are reaching 12-months endpoint. All followed patients showed improvements in motor, language, muscle strength, functional scores, and independency. The low and high dose cohorts in clinic study had an average FMMS score improvement of 16 points at 12-months visit and 17.3 points at 9-months visit, respectively, and about 80% subjects already had >10 points FMMS improvements, which is considered clinical meaningful. More critical indications such as motor dysfunctions caused by hemorrhage stroke, traumatic brain injury or cerebral palsy will be expanded in 2026.
