“This has been an exciting year for Capricor as we have made significant inroads in the clinical development of CAP-1002, our lead cell therapy product, to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy,” said Linda Marbán, Ph.D., Capricor president and chief executive officer. “We have achieved several important milestones that facilitate our progress in the research, development and potential commercialization of CAP-1002. We will soon be initiating the HOPE-2 clinical trial designed to test CAP-1002 in boys and young men whose ability to walk has been impaired by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This trial is one of the very few to focus on those patients that are non-ambulant and in the later stages of the disease process.”
