RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RGRX) ("the Company" or "RegeneRx") announced that it has received a notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicating that, due to non-compliance with FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations by its contract manufacturer, the Company's Phase 2 clinical trial of RGN-352, its injectable formulation of Thymosin beta 4 for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been placed on clinical hold. RegeneRx is currently unable to estimate the length of time that the trial will be on clinical hold. The Company was scheduled to begin enrolling patients in the trial in the coming weeks. The Company will provide additional information as it becomes available.
The clinical hold is limited to cGMP compliance issues at a specific contract manufacturing site and is not directed at the safety of RGN-352, the Company's Phase 2 AMI protocol or its clinical development plan, nor does it affect any other RegeneRx clinical trial or drug candidate.
