Stem Cell Therapeutics Corp. is a Canadian biotechnology company (TSX-V: SSS)
focused on the development and commercialization of drug-based therapies to treat
central nervous system diseases. SCT is a leader in the development of therapies
that utilize drugs to stimulate a patient’s own resident stem cells. The company’s
programs aim to repair neurological function lost due to disease or injury.
Our lead program, NTx®-265, is a regimen of two approved and marketed
drugs targeting the treatment of stroke. The therapy works by stimulating the growth
and differentiation of new neurons to replace the brain cells that are lost or damaged
by the stroke and importantly, to direct motor, visual and cognitive recovery after
acute ischemic stroke. Our approach avoids surgical transplantation of stem cells;
instead we use drugs to stimulate the body’s own existing adult stem cells.
