SPS Cardio, LLC licenses Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) program for development in India and certain “territories” – Dead money at $0.53 - HOLD

 

Empties the cupboard but no bucks or bang, all in the form of royalties and “potential “payments to the future (which century) after all the money spent - $40 M +


 

CLBS has entered into an agreement with SPS Cardio, LLC to exclusively out-license the commercialization rights to its CD34 ischemic repair technology (CLBS10) for the indications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and chronic heart failure (CHF) in select territories outside of the U.S.

 

SPS is a venture capital firm (?) that will fund this technology’s further development in these indications and designated countries.  SPS intends to conduct a P2 proof-of-concept clinical trial in India.  

 

The Bottom Line: CLBS will be eligible to receive royalties together with a milestone upon the successful development and commercialization of any product … eventually sold in the selected territories.

Who are the BOD and executives that acquired and championed the technology to NBS <now CLBS> and then modified the end-points?  That story needs to be told …

CLBS retains the rights to unfettered, cost-free access to and use of any and all clinical and non-clinical data generated in India – why, the piggy-back, there isn’t any money in the till to further develop anywhere else?

 

CLBS is trading FLAT at $0.53 far from the $3.77 when CEO Mazzo was “anointed”.
