PARAMUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Proteonomix, Inc. (PROT), a biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics based upon the use of human cells and their derivatives, today announced that Numoda Corporation will provide a range of specific clinical trial services for a Proteonomix-sponsored Phase 1 clinical trial with its patent-pending mobilization technology UMK-121 in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). Numoda is leading provider of clinical trial information and logistics services to life sciences companies.

Initiating this clinical trial represents a major milestone for Proteonomix and we are delighted to report additional progress toward this goal, said Proteonomix Chief Technology Officer Steven Byle. UMK-121 combines two existing FDA-approved drugs with the intention of mobilizing mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow to the peripheral circulation. This proprietary drug combination is designed to reduce inflammation and increase angiogenesis to restore liver function, potentially extending the life of ESLD patients awaiting liver transplant. We hope to begin this trial in the upcoming months.

Earlier this month, Proteonomix signed a master agreement with Numoda for clinical trial services. In August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Proteonomix permission to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial with UMK-121 in patients with ESLD.
