Hemostemix Announces the Second Stem Cell Recipient Interview: One Week to no Chest Pain

Hemostemix Inc. (“Hemostemix” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HEM; OTC: HMTXF) is pleased to announce the second in its series of video interviews with ACP-01 recipients taped during August of 2021. With more than 300 patients treated compassionately with ACP-01 for ischemic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, vascular dementia, COPD, and pulmonary hypertension, in this one-minute segment Peter recounts how his chest pain dissipated one week after his stem cell treatment, and he recounts how he felt like his life was back to normal after six weeks. Interested parties are directed to the Video and ACP Testimonials section of the Company’s website.

“It is interesting to listen to Peter following his treatment, compare the study results published about ACP and Mavacamten with respect to dilated cardiomyopathy, and then compare the market capitalization of Hemostemix ($11.5 Million) to the $13.1 Billion takeover of Myokardia by Bristol Myers Squibb because  both therapeutics resulted in an improvement in ejection fraction, both therapeutics resulted in a significant  improvement in NYHA functional class and the ACP group measured a 36% improvement in walking capacity in 6 minutes,” stated Thomas Smeenk, CEO.

The late Dr. Kit Arom, a co-founder of the Minnesota Heart Institute, published the following results of his study of the safety and efficacy of thoracoscopic direct injection of angiogenic cell precursors (ACP) in patients with end stage dilated cardiomyopathy: “Forty-one patients with cardiomyopathy (mean age, 58.5 ± 14.3 years) underwent ACP stem cell injection, including 21 with dilated cardiomyopathy and 20 with ischemic cardiomyopathy…All patients tolerated cardiac rehabilitation very well…The 6-minute walk tests showed an improvement of nearly [36%], 126 meters in walking capacity (from 343.3 to 469.4 meters, n = 9, at 90 days)…At a mean of 180 days after the injection, NYHA functional class improved from 2.69 ± 0.79 preoperatively to 1.63 ± 0.81 in the Dilated Cardiomyopathy group (n=16, pn = 15, p = 0.3).”

A winner of the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer Award, the Company developed and is commercializing its lead product ACP-01 for the treatment of CLI, PAD, Angina, Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, Dilated Cardiomyopathy and other conditions of ischemia. ACP-01 has been used to treat over 300 patients, and it is the subject of a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind trial of its safety and efficacy in patients with advanced critical limb ischemia who have exhausted all other options to save their limb from amputation.

On October 21, 2019, the Company announced the results from its Phase II CLI trial abstract presentation entitled “Autologous Stem Cell Treatment for CLI Patients with No Revascularization Options: An Update of the Hemostemix ACP-01 Trial With 
4.5 Year Follow-up” which noted healing of ulcers and resolution of ischemic rest pain occurred in 83% of patients, with outcomes maintained for up to 4.5 years.

The Company owns 91 patents across five patent families titled: Regulating Stem Cells, In Vitro Techniques for use with Stem Cells, Production from Blood of Cells of Neural Lineage, and Automated Cell Therapy.
