Avagenesis Corp. Announces Seven Active Studies With Institutional Review Board (IRB) Approvals
Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - Avagenesis Corp. (TSXV: VVA) (“Avagenesis” or “Company”), along with co-marketing partner Avapecia Life Sciences Corp. (CSE: VVS), are pleased to announce the arrangement of seven (7) active studies with Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals for a multitude of indications, to advanced scientific and clinical translational data, using Avagenesis’ adipose stem cell isolation platform.
The active studies are being conducted by various distinguished organizations, including the University of British Columbia and Vancouver General Hospital in Canada and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. In addition, ten (10) new IRB’s are in various stages of preparation and approval.
The International Council on Harmonisation (http://www.ich.org) defines an IRB as a committee formally designated to protect the rights, safety and well being of individual participants involved in a clinical trial by reviewing all aspects of the trial before approving its commencement. IRBs are also referred to as Independent Ethics Committees (IEC). The IRB/IEC ensures that clinical trial participants are exposed to minimal risks in relation to any benefits that might result from the research by reviewing the appropriateness of the clinical trial protocol.
“Our teams have worked hard over the last six (6) months to have our cell isolation platform be included in these IRB studies,” stated Norman Tsui, CEO of Avagenesis. “The standardization, safety, quick processing time, excellent cell isolation product, automated ease of use and the simple 15 minute user training have all contributed to significant interest from researchers and clinicians alike. Cell therapy can only advance when a cost effective standardized system is available for widespread adoption, supported by a significant base of IRB studies that demonstrate safety and data effectiveness from multi-centre trials.”
