Preclinical quality, safety, and efficacy of a cGMP iPSC-derived myogenic progenitor product for the treatment of muscular dystrophies.
Pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived therapies are in clinical trials of terminally differentiated or transiently-required cell types, but to date no PSC-derived trial contributing tissue-specific stem cells has been approved, nor any PSC-based skeletal muscle regeneration trial. We describe a process in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) to generate large-scale cryopreserved PAX7-induced myogenic progenitors, that reconstitute both fibers and satellite cells, from PSCs. We subjected this clinical-grade cell product, MyoPAXon, to biodistribution, toxicity, and tumorigenicity studies in mice under GLP conditions with no adverse effects, and demonstrate long-term engraftment (> 1 year), and efficacy in dystrophic mice. Transplantation of 37-60 million MyoPAXon cells into immunosuppressed non-human primates showed human contribution to muscle fibers and satellite cells, with no safety concerns. The FDA has recently authorized this fully characterized off-the-shelf cGMP product, for a first-in-human clinical trial in Duchenne MD, representing the first iPSC-derived tissue-specific stem cell therapy.
