Aastrom is a leader in the development of autologous cell products for the repair or regeneration of human tissue. The Company's proprietary Tissue Repair Cell (TRC) Technology involves the use of a patient's own cells to manufacture products to treat a range of chronic diseases and serious injuries affecting bone, vascular, cardiac, and neural tissues. Aastrom's TRC-based products contain increased numbers of stem and early progenitor cells, produced from a small amount of bone marrow collected from the patient. The TRC Technology platform has positioned Aastrom to advance multiple products into clinical development. Currently, the Company has a bone regeneration product in Phase III development for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (called the ON-CORE trial), a vascular regeneration product in Phase IIb development for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (called the RESTORE-CLI trial), and preclinical research programs targeting unmet needs in cardiac and neural health. Aastrom product candidates to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head and dilated cardiomyopathy have been designated for orphan drug status by the FDA.
