Mesoblast is a biotechnology company that develops allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions. The company's proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform produces therapies that respond to severe inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory factors that modulate multiple effector arms of the immune system. Mesoblast's flagship product, Ryoncil (remestemcel-L-rknd), is the first FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy, currently approved for pediatric patients aged 2 months and older with steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease. The company is pursuing label expansion of Ryoncil into adults with SR-aGvHD and pediatric Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Its second platform product, rexlemestrocel-L, is in Phase 3 development for chronic low back pain associated with degenerative disc disease and is being filed with FDA for end-stage heart failure patients on left ventricular assist devices. Mesoblast holds a global intellectual property portfolio of over 1,100 granted patents and patent applications providing protection through at least 2044, and has established commercial partnerships in Japan (JCR Pharmaceuticals), Europe/Latin America (Grünenthal for CLBP), and China (Tasly Pharmaceuticals for heart failure). The company is listed on the ASX (MSB) and Nasdaq (MESO). Updated
