The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a single administration of Cx601 in 212 patients.

TiGenix chief medical officer Marie Paule Richard said: "The week 104 data on the patients who stayed in the trial continue to prove the value of Cx601 for this very difficult-to-treat patient population, and are consistent with the results communicated at week 24 and week 52.

"The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a single administration of Cx601 in 212 patients."

"Not only did this long-term extension show the safety and tolerability of Cx601 but it indicates that clinical remission was maintained after a single administration of Cx601, compared with best available standard of care two years after administration."

During the extension from week 52 to week 104, which was performed to confirm the long-term safety and tolerability, it was found that 23 patients in the Cx601 arm concluded the extension when compared to 14 in the placebo arm.
