BioRestorative Therapies CEO Lance Alstodt to be Interviewed on Famela and Friends Talk Radio Show

MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioRestorative”) (NASDAQ: BRTX), a clinical stage company focused on stem cell-based therapies, today announced that its CEO, Lance Alstodt, will be interviewed on Famela and Friends Talk Radio Show to discuss the Company’s progress and updates on its clinical development pipeline.

BioRestorative is currently executing a Phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single dose intradiscal injection of its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100. A total of up to 99 eligible patients will be randomized at 15 centers in the United States to receive either the investigational drug (BRTX-100) or control in a 2:1 fashion.

The radio show, which airs Sundays 7-8 pm on AM1170/FM96.1, is hosted by Famela Ramos along with "friends" Kalina O'Connor and Wais Kaihani.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to be guests of Famela and Friends”, said Lance Alstodt, the Company’s CEO. “We look forward discussing the clinical advancements of the company’s lead cell therapy candidate to treat chronic lumbar disc disease as well as our Metabolic Program using cells derived from brown adipose fat tissue.”

About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. () develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders:

• Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC^™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complementary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. The BRTX-100 production process utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patient’s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient’s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have commenced a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease.

• Metabolic Program (ThermoStem^®): We are developing a cell-based therapy candidate to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in animals may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes.
