RepliCel Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

VANCOUVER, Aug. 28, 2015 /CNW/ - RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP), a clinical stage regenerative medicine company focused on the development of autologous cell therapies, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, corporate highlights, and near-term milestones.  The company's financial statements and management report are available at www.sedar.com,  www.edgar.com and at www.replicel.com.

"RepliCel expects to launch its RCS-01 treatment for aging and sun-damaged skin in the next month which brings a second product based on our non-bulbar dermal sheath (NBDS) fibroblast platform into the clinic.  This will solidly transition the company into a phase of clinical and commercial execution on multiple programs.  Our team spent considerable time preparing for what will now be a series of significant milestones for the company through the next several quarters," stated David Hall, CEO of RepliCel.

"With the progress of our treatments for chronic tendinosis (RCT-01) and damaged skin (RCS-01), as well as design lock for our unique dermal injector (RCI-02), RepliCel is now executing on programs expected to result in commercially meaningful events in 2016.  This includes clinical data on two programs and marketing approval for the dermal injector device," states Lee Buckler, VP Business and Corporate Development.  "Our ongoing advancement and maturation of the company's assets and the increased certainty around the timing of future catalysts is now translating into greater attention from those looking to finance the company and/or license our technologies.  We believe that what we are doing is potentially transformative for the company, within a very foreseeable timeframe.  We are committed to continuing to execute - per our development and licensing strategy - in North America, Europe, and Japan."
