The new patent is related to treatment of patients in need of bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. This patent is based on evidence that treatment with SDF-1 chemokine analog prevents reduction of normal bone marrow stem cells and restores white blood cells, which reduce susceptibility to infections in cancer patients following chemotherapy treatment.
Donald Wong, vice president of drug development at Chemokine, said: “This patent strengthens the foundation for our work with our drug candidate CTCE-0214, for hematogical support; mobilization of stem cells and white blood cells into circulation, which is currently in Phase I development.”
