Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2024) - Hemostemix Inc. (TSXV: HEM) (OTCQB: HMTXF) (FSE: 2VF0) (“Hemostemix” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Journal of Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences published the Company’s Phase II randomized clinical trial results today.

The publication highlights the results of no option critical limb ischemia patients who started the clinical trial with an ulcer, comparing wound healing, amputation, and mortality between the patients treated with ACP-01 and patients treated with a placebo, and stated the following:

  • 67 patients with no option Critical limb ischemia were allocated to treatment with ACP-01 (46/67) or placebo (21/67).
  • From this data, only patients who presented with wound ulcers before administration of ACP-01 were reviewed (21 treatment, 8 placebo).
  • Ulcer size in the treated group decreased from a mean of 1.46 cm2 to 0.48 mm2 (p = 0.01) by 3 months. There was no significant decrease in the size of the ulcers of the placebo group (p < 0.54).
  • At one year there were no complications related to treatment.
  • The treatment group had one amputation (4.8%) and one death (4.8%).
  • The placebo group had 2 amputations (25%) and 1 death (12.5%).

“In evaluating the subgroup of patients who presented with ulcerous wounds, there was a significant decrease in ulcer size at 3 months, lower amputation rate at 12 months, and a lower mortality rate at 12 months in the ACP-01 treatment group. Moreover, the 1-year death rate in the patients treated with ACP-01 for CLI (4.8%) was substantially less than the death rate reported in the literature of 15%-20% within 6 months of a CLI diagnosis . Similarly, the amputation rate of 4.8% in this treatment subgrouop compares favorably with the literature, the latter variably reporting amputation rates of 10%-40% per year.,” stated Dr. Fraser Henderson, CMO.

“I want to thank the authors for their scientific contributions, and bringing this clinical data to fruition. The growing body of evidence in eight peer reviewed publications covering 318 subjects suggests that ACP-01 is safe and efficacious in the treatment of various forms of ischemia,” stated Thomas Smeenk, CEO. “We will have additional news of the production of ACP-01 for revenue and clinical trials in the near future, as we are selling ACP-01 as treatment for CLI under exemption,” Smeenk said.
