Ryoncil® FDA Approval and Market Launch Highlighted at Tandem Transplantation Meetings
February 13 2025 - 5:37PM
Mesoblast Limited (Nasdaq:MESO; ASX:MSB), a global leader in
allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today
announced that its recently approved product Ryoncil®
(remestemcel-L) is being highlighted at the 2025 Transplantation
& Cellular Therapy Tandem Meetings of the American Society for
Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) and the Center for
Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), the industry’s
premier conference taking place this week in Honolulu, HI.
Ryoncil® was approved in December 2024 by the
United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGvHD) in
pediatric patients 2 months and older, becoming the first
mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy approved in the U.S. for any
indication.
Mesoblast has a significant presence at the
Tandem meetings including an information hub to engage with and
educate healthcare providers in support of Ryoncil’s® upcoming
launch, a key presentation by Mesoblast executives of scientific
and clinical results for Ryoncil®, and hosting two investigator-led
advisory panel meetings discussing Ryoncil® for acute SR-aGvHD.
In addition, transplant physician Dr Joanne
Kurtzberg, the Jerome Harris Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics
and Professor of Pathology, and Director, Marcus Center for
Cellular Cures at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) is also
giving a poster presentation titled “Ryoncil (Remestemcel-L) for
Third-Line Treatment of SR-aGvHD in Adolescents and Adults.”
About Mesoblast Mesoblast (the
Company) is a world leader in developing allogeneic (off-the-shelf)
cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening
inflammatory conditions. The therapies from the Company’s
proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform
respond to severe inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory
factors that counter and modulate multiple effector arms of the
immune system, resulting in significant reduction of the damaging
inflammatory process.
Mesoblast’s RYONCIL® (remestemcel-L) for the
treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease
(SR-aGvHD) in pediatric patients 2 months and older is the first
FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy. Please see the
full Prescribing Information at www.ryoncil.com.
Mesoblast is committed to developing additional
cell therapies for distinct indications based on its remestemcel-L
and rexlemestrocel-L allogeneic stromal cell technology platforms.
RYONCIL is being developed for additional inflammatory diseases
including SR-aGvHD in adults and biologic-resistant inflammatory
bowel disease. Rexlemestrocel-L is being developed for heart
failure and chronic low back pain. The Company has established
commercial partnerships in Japan, Europe and China.
About Mesoblast intellectual
property: Mesoblast has a strong and extensive global
intellectual property portfolio, with over 1,000 granted patents or
patent applications covering mesenchymal stromal cell compositions
of matter, methods of manufacturing and indications. These granted
patents and patent applications are expected to provide commercial
protection extending through to at least 2041 in major markets.
