Press Release
'ISB-NS02' Phase 1 Clinical Trial Approved (2025)
May 2025

In May 2025, Innostem Bio succeeded in gaining IND approval for a Phase 1 clinical trial of 'ISB-NS02', a therapeutic candidate for traumatic brain injury. The trial aims to regenerate damaged brain tissue and reduce inflammation using adult stem cells derived from peripheral nerves and microtissues. Safety will be assessed in 12 patients, with the trial expected to run until May 2027.

'ISB-NS01' Clinical Study by Professor Kim Geung-nyun of Yonsei University College of Medicine (2024)
2024

A government-supported clinical study on stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury patients, led by Professor Kim Geung-nyun of Yonsei Severance Hospital, has reached its final stages. The study, targeting acute and subacute spinal cord injury patients, showed improved limb function in patients with incomplete injuries after six months of treatment. The effective verification of this treatment could lead to its application for peripheral nerve diseases or cerebral infarction.
