BlueRock Therapeutics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of German life sciences company Bayer (BAYN: DE), can boast that bemdaneprocel, its neuronal stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease, is the first to show positive results in a Phase I study.

The trial showed that bemdaneprocel was well-tolerated in all 12 patients in the study to date, with no major safety events. In addition, an assessment of the study’s secondary endpoints demonstrated feasibility of transplantation and evidence of cell survival and engraftment in the brain through one year.

Based on these results, planning is underway for a Phase II study that is expected to begin enrolling patients in the first half of 2024.
