Cardio3 BioSci raises 1.37M euros

26 January 2009

Cardio3 BioSciences, a Belgian biotechnology company specializing in cell-based therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, has  raised 7.2 million euros ($9.6 million) in a series B fund raising  round.

The new funds, which have come from a range of new and existing  investors, will be used to finance the clinical development of the  company's lead product, C-Cure, a unique therapy that allows the  differentiation of a patient's own cells into "cardiopoietic" ones that  grow into new heart cells and repair heart muscle. The firm says this  product holds the promise for a treatment that could fundamentally  change the future of heart failure patients, one of the world's largest  medical needs.

Cardio3 plans to enroll shortly around 240 patients in a clinical trial  with C-Cure to evaluate its potential in the treatment of heart failure.
