BioCardia Establishes New Manufacturing Facility to Enable Its Cell Therapy Product Candidates
Facility Being Built Out to Support CardiAMP Cell Therapy Systems, Allogeneic NK1R+ MSC and Biotherapeutic Delivery Device Manufacturing for Clinical Trials of Multiple Programs and Early Commercial Activities
San Carlos, Calif. -- BioCardia, Inc. [Nasdaq: BCDA], a developer of cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, today announces that it has entered into a long-term lease for a new facility in Sunnyvale, California. This facility is being built out to support the manufacturing of BioCardia’s cell and device products and product candidates across the Company’s therapeutic pipeline.
The new facility is expected to provide manufacturing capabilities across BioCardia’s portfolio, including its CardiAMP Cell Therapy Systems, NK1R+ mesenchymal stem cells, and Biotherapeutic Delivery Devices, with the ultimate goal of supporting clinical trials in multiple programs and early commercial activities.
“We have always believed that manufacturing during development needs to be kept close to capture new insights and innovate rapidly. Controlling manufacturing at this stage helps accelerate the development of our cell-based medicines, which we also believe is a key differentiator of BioCardia from many other cellular therapeutics companies,” said Peter Altman, BioCardia’s President and CEO. “We expect to soon see all four of the programs we discuss publicly in the clinic helping patients, with our in-house facilities providing the material.”
