Medera’s Novoheart Enters New Collaboration to Develop Human Mini-Heart Models Aimed at Transforming Treatment for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Mini-Heart Models Development: A collaboration between Medera, Novoheart, and leading medical institutions aims to create the first human mini-heart models from stem cells of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) patients, enhancing understanding and treatment personalization for this severe congenital heart condition.
Focus on Personalized Treatment: The initiative seeks to improve survival rates and quality of life for pediatric HLHS patients by identifying which individuals may benefit most from various treatments, leveraging advanced 3D bioengineered cardiac tissues that better replicate human heart function compared to traditional models.
Medera and Novoheart Presented Breakthroughs in Human mini-Heart Platforms and Gene Therapy at ISSCR 2025
Presentation Highlights: Medera Inc. showcased seven presentations at the ISSCR 2025, including a significant oral presentation on their first-in-human gene therapy for heart failure, utilizing their innovative human mini-Heart technology, which supports clinical trials and regulatory approvals.
Regulatory Advances: The FDA has recognized Medera's human-based screening platform as an animal-free alternative in drug development, emphasizing its potential to enhance drug classification, patient-specific disease modeling, and accelerate clinical translation while aligning with new federal policies.
Medera Showcased Positive Interim Data From First-in-Human Gene Therapy Trial for HFpEF in Late-Breaking Presentation at Heart Failure 2025 Congress
Clinical Trial Results: Medera Inc. announced positive interim results from its MUSIC-HFpEF Phase 1/2a clinical trial for SRD-002, a gene therapy aimed at treating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), showing a favorable safety profile and early clinical benefits in patients.
Significance of HFpEF: HFpEF affects approximately half of all heart failure patients globally, representing a significant unmet medical need, and the promising results from SRD-002 may provide a transformative approach to address the underlying pathophysiology of this condition.
Medera to Present Late-Breaking Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial Results at Heart Failure 2025 Congress
Medera Inc. Clinical Trial Announcement: Medera Inc. will present data from its MUSIC-HFpEF clinical trial on the gene therapy candidate SRD-002 for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) at the Heart Failure 2025 Congress in Belgrade, Serbia, highlighting the need for new therapeutic interventions in this area.
Company Background and Merger Plans: Medera, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing next-generation therapeutics, is in the process of merging with Keen Vision Acquisition Corporation (KVAC), aiming to enhance its capabilities in targeting difficult-to-treat diseases.
