RG6501 (OpRegen) Phase 1/2a Results Will Be Featured at 2024 Angiogenesis Exudation and Degeneration Meeting in Presentation by Allen Ho, MD, FACS, FASRS

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced that results showing retinal structure improvements with RG6501(OpRegen) from a Phase 1/2a clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02286089) in geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), will be presented at the 2024 Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration Meeting. The virtual meeting will be held February 3, 2024, and is sponsored by the University of Miami Health System Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. The presentation, “Retinal Structure Improvements with OpRegen RPE Cell Therapy in a Phase I/IIa Study in Geographic Atrophy,” will be presented by Allen Ho, MD, FACS, FASRS, Co-Director, Wills Eye Retina Service and Director, Retina Research, Wills Eye Hospital on behalf of Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.

About OpRegen

RG6501 (OpRegen) is a suspension of human allogeneic retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells currently in development for the treatment of GA secondary to AMD. OpRegen subretinal delivery has the potential to counteract RPE cell loss in areas of GA lesions by supporting retinal cell health and improving retinal structure and function. It is being developed under an exclusive worldwide collaboration between Lineage, and Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2a clinical study in patients with GA secondary to AMD (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05626114).

About Angiogenesis

The 21^st Annual Angiogenesis meeting, entitled Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2024, will be held virtually on February 3, 2024. The program will feature an exceptional group of basic scientists, clinicians, and healthcare experts, all focused on understanding and treating neovascular, exudative, and degenerative diseases of the eye. The program will highlight the revolutionary pharmacotherapies now in development and clinical practice for the management of neovascular AMD, macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and inherited retinal degenerations with a special emphasis on the present and future financial impact of these drugs on clinical practices and Medicare. Angiogenesis 2024 follows the tradition of excellence established by Bascom Palmer’s widely acclaimed Angiogenesis programs between 2004 and 2023. Designed for retina specialists, general ophthalmologists and researchers, the current program will review the latest in imaging, translational research, and clinical trials with an emphasis on how these results will impact clinical ophthalmology.
