FibroBiologics Announces Successful Manufacturing of CYWC628 Drug Product to Support Upcoming Diabetic Foot Ulcer Clinical Trial

HOUSTON, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FBLG) (“FibroBiologics”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 270+ patents issued and pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived materials, today announced the successful completion of manufacturing of the first batch of FibroBiologics’ proprietary CYWC628 drug product that will support upcoming first-in-human clinical trials. Manufactured in accordance with Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), the drug product will be released after it successfully passes all required safety and quality testing.

The CYWC628 fibroblast-based therapy targets diabetic foot ulcers, a condition that affects millions of patients worldwide and currently lacks effective long-term treatment solutions. 

“CYWC628 is not only the first fibroblast-based spheroid therapeutic candidate, its manufacture also represents the first large-scale CGMP manufacturing of a spheroid product for therapeutic use,” said Pete O’Heeron, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of FibroBiologics. “These achievements by our scientific team allow us to move forward with our planned Phase 1/2 clinical trial utilizing CYWC628 in DFU patients in the first half of 2026.”
