Issuer’s history and business

The legal predecessor of the Issuer, Pracelo Sp. z o.o., was established on 12 July 2016. In February 2018, the company changed its name to Bioceltix Sp. z o.o.; six months later, the company’s transformation into a joint stock company was registered.

The mission of Bioceltix is to market medicines for animals (dogs and horses, and later also cats) containing Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) as an active pharmaceutical ingredient based on its own manufacturing plant operating in accordance with the pharmaceutical quality standard cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice). After the full registration process, the medicinal products developed by the Issuer are to be used in the treatment of the most common autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as osteoarthritis in dogs, arthritis in horses and atopic dermatitis in dogs.

The company is working on the implementation of the animal-safe and scalable ALLO-BCLX technology which will support the use for therapy of allogeneic (single donor-multiple recipient) mesenchymal stem cells (adult stem cells which can differentiate into bone cells, cartilage cells and fat cells) derived from adipose tissue.

The Issuer’s business model provides for future sale to industry partners of the rights to the developed medicinal products, as well as their production based on the Issuer’s manufacturing plant operating under a pharmaceutical quality standard. The sale of rights to products may take place through the conclusion of partnership, licence or distribution agreements. The products developed by the Issuer will be distributed by industry partners with international sales structures.

The timetable for the development of the most advanced drug candidate in research is to complete the Target Animal Safety (TAS) phase in 2021, followed by a field clinical trial in 2022, submission of a marketing authorisation application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2023 and obtaining the marketing authorisation in 2024.
