Castle Creek is developing a two-component therapeutic product for the treatment of moderate to severe localized scleroderma (morphea). The first component is FCX-013, an autologous genetically modified human dermal fibroblast (GM-HDFs) cell product that is genetically modified with a lentiviral vector (LV) to express human matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1). MMP1 is also known as interstitial collagenase or fibroblast collagenase and is an enzyme that under normal physiological conditions breaks down the extracellular matrix. Specifically, MMP1 breaks down interstitial collagens, types I, II and III. In addition, the FCX-013 cells are also transduced with genetic constructs that encode the RheoSwitch Therapeutic System® (RTS®) an inducible promotor system that in the presence of a small molecule activator ligand controls expression of the MMP1 gene. The RTS® is activated to express MMP1 by the oral administration of the small molecule component. The purpose of this open-label single arm Phase 1/2 study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of FCX-013 plus veledimex.
