BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. announced its development of a novel exosome-based biologic program targeting obesity. BioRestorative currently anticipates initiating the formal U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") process for this ThermoStem®?-based therapeutic candidate by filing a Drug Master File ("DMF") in the third quarter of 2024. The Company aims to initiate first-in-human clinical studies before the end of the year.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cells, including stem cells. BioRestorative's ThermoStem®? platform has a comprehensive portfolio of issued patents that cover both the U.S. and international markets.

This broad intellectual property portfolio can be leveraged across drugs that are currently approved and marketed for weight loss, potentially opening the door to future big pharma partnership opportunities for the Company.
