Mesoblast Limited (ASX: MSB; NASDAQ: MESO) is a leading biotechnology company specializing in innovative cell-based medicines. Leveraging its proprietary mesenchymal lineage adult stem cells (MLCs) technology, Mesoblast has established a robust portfolio of advanced cellular medicines. These 'off-the-shelf' allogeneic products use cells from a single donor to treat multiple recipients, eliminating the need for cell matching.
In Japan, Mesoblast's licensee has launched an MLC-based product for acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) in both children and adults. This marks the first fully approved allogeneic cell-based product in Japan. In the United States, Mesoblast is poised to have its first industrially manufactured allogeneic cell-based product approved.
Mesoblast's lead product candidates include MPC-150-IM for chronic heart failure, MPC-06-ID for chronic low back pain due to disc degeneration, and MSC-100-IV for acute graft versus host disease. The company's pipeline also features remestemcel-L for steroid-refractory aGVHD, moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and biologic-resistant inflammatory bowel disease. Rexlemestrocel-L is being developed for advanced chronic heart failure and chronic low back pain.
Mesoblast boasts a strong global intellectual property portfolio, ensuring protection until at least 2041 in major markets. The company's proprietary manufacturing processes produce industrial-scale, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf cellular medicines, intended to be readily available worldwide. Two of its products have already been commercialized in Japan and Europe by its licensees.
Headquartered in Australia, with locations in the United States and Singapore, Mesoblast is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and NASDAQ. For more information, visit the official website at www.mesoblast.com.
