About Living Cell Technologies
Living Cell Technologies Limited (ASX:LCT) is an Australasian biotechnology company that has focused on discovering and developing novel treatments for debilitating conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease. LCT has secured initial funding for a third clinical with NTCELL (alginate coated capsule containing clusters of neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells) after completing phase IIa and IIb clinical studies in Parkinson's disease. In a Phase IIb trial of NTCELL, there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups who received NTCELL and the placebo group at the 26-week study endpoint. However, at 24 months post-implant a clinically relevant effect was observed (<-6.45 points from baseline) in two of the three treatment groups. In the third clinical trial LCT will seek to alter the rate of disease progression in early- to-mid stage Parkinson's disease. LCT has out-licensed DIABECELL (alginate coated capsule containing neonatal porcine pancreatic cells) to Diatranz Otsuka Limited to continue the development of a cell therapy for type 1 diabetes in return for a royalty arrangement. LCT continues to seek new product project opportunities and also interactions that leverage its financial assets. LCT is listed on the Australian (ASX: LCT) and US (OTCQB: LVCLY) stock exchanges. The company is incorporated in Australia, with its operations based in Australia and New Zealand.
