Note 1 – Organization and Business Description
Therapeutic
Solutions International, Inc. (“TSI” or the “Company”) was organized
Business Description
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
Activating one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSOI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury, and for daily health.
Nutraceutical Division – TSOI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its current flagship product, QuadraMune®, is a multi-patented synergistic blend of pterostilbene, sulforaphane, epigallocatechingallate, and thymoquinone. QuadraMune has been shown to increase Natural Killer Cell activity and healthy Cytokine production. Our synergistic blend of ingredients helps the immune system fight off common and complex ailments and promote healthy T Cell activity. Recently the Company was approved to sell certain nutraceuticals on the Amazon Platform.
Cellular Division – TSOI obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Lung Pathology (LP).
The stem cell licensed, termed “JadiCell” is unique in that it possesses features of mesenchymal stem cells, however, outperforms these cells in terms of a) enhanced growth factor production; b) augmented ability to secrete exosomes; and c) superior angiogenic and neurogenic ability.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe. TSOI has previously filed several patents in the area of CTE based on modulating the brain microenvironment to enhance receptivity of regenerative cells such as stem cells. On March 4, 2021, the Company received an IND Serial # 27377 for a clinical trial of 10 patients with CTE.
On
August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for
registration of the Company’s JadiCell™ universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under
IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCell to other types of stem cells including
bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore,
In addition, the Company has filed data with the FDA, as part of IND #17448, which demonstrated that treatment of cancer patients with StemVacs™ resulted in enhanced activity of a type of immunological cell called “natural killer” cells, otherwise known as “NK cells.”
The Company has also developed an allogenic version of StemVacs and has filed patents to cover activating universal donor immune system cells called dendritic cells in a manner so that upon injection they reprogram the body’s NK cells.
Most recently the Company announced filing of a patent application covering the use stem cell derived exosomes for treatment of aortic aneurysms.

Management
does not expect existing cash as of June 30, 2023, to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least twelve months
from the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumed
the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2023,
the Company has incurred losses totaling $
Note 2 – Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its 68% owned subsidiary Res Nova Bio, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. No material activity in any subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). In accordance with ASC 606, the Company applies the following methodology to recognize revenue:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer. | |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price. | |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
ASC 606 provides that sales revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generally satisfies performance obligations upon shipment of the product or service to the customer. This is consistent with the time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service.
Returns. Revenue is adjusted based on an estimate of the expected returns based on historical rates. Our estimate of the provision for returns is based upon our most recent historical experience of actual customer returns. Additionally, we consider other factors when estimating our current period return provision, including levels of inventory in our distribution channel as well as significant market changes which may impact future expected returns, and make adjustments to our current period provision for returns when it appears product returns may differ from our original estimates. These returns have not been significant to the Company’s revenues in the accompanying financial statements.
Wholesale policies:
Delivery. The Goods shall be deemed delivered when Buyer has accepted delivery at the above-referenced location. The shipping method shall be determined by Seller, but Buyer will not be responsible for shipping costs.

Inspection of Goods & Rejection. Buyer is entitled to inspect the Goods upon delivery. If the Goods are unacceptable for any reason, Buyer must reject them at the time of delivery up to five (5) business days from the date of delivery. If Buyer has not rejected the Goods within five (5) business days from the date of delivery, Buyer shall have waived any right to reject that specific delivery of Goods. In the event Buyer rejects the Goods, Buyer shall allow Seller a reasonable time to cure the deficiency. A reasonable time period shall be determined by industry standards for the particular Goods, as well as the Seller and Buyer.
Risk of Loss. Risk of loss will be on the Seller until the time when the Buyer accepts delivery. Seller shall maintain any and all necessary insurance in order to insure the Goods against loss at Seller’s own expense
Retail policies of e-commerce:
Shipping. Shipping Time — Most orders will ship the next business day, provided the product ordered is in stock. Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday or Sunday, except by prior arrangement. We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive. Consider any shipping or transit time offered to the customer by this site or other parties only as an estimate. We encourage the customer to order in a timely fashion to avoid delays caused by shipping or product availability. Fulfillment mistakes that may be made which result in the shipment of incorrect products to the customer will also be accepted for return.
Out of Stock. We will ship the customer’s product as it becomes available. Usually, products ship by the next business day. However, there may be times when the product the customer had ordered is out-of-stock, which will delay fulfilling the customer’s order. We will keep the customer informed of any products that the customer had ordered that are out-of-stock and unavailable for immediate shipment. The Customer may cancel their order at any time prior to shipping.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method, “FIFO”) or market. Inventories consist of purchased materials and assembly items.
Derivative Liabilities
A derivative is an instrument whose value is “derived” from an underlying instrument or index such as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.
As a matter of policy, the Company does not invest in separable financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, the Company entered into certain debt financing transactions in fiscal 2022 and 2021, as disclosed in Note 8 containing certain conversion features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives. We evaluate such derivative instruments to properly classify such instruments within equity or as liabilities in our financial statements. Our policy is to settle instruments indexed to our common shares on a first-in-first-out basis.
The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.

Instruments
classified as derivative liabilities are remeasured using the Black-Scholes model at each reporting period (or upon reclassification)
and the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations. We recorded derivative liabilities of $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaids, convertible notes, and payables. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by level within the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 – Inputs lack observable market data to corroborate management’s estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
When determining fair value, whenever possible the Company uses observable market data, and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has level 3 fair value calculations on derivative liabilities. The table below reflects the results of our Level 3 fair value calculations:
The following is the change in derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2023:

| Issuance of new derivative liabilities | ||||
| Conversions | ( | ) | ||
| Change in fair market value of derivative liabilities | ||||
| Balance, June 30, 2023 | $ |
Use of Estimates
Estimates were made relating to valuation allowances, impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense and accruals. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the periods reported was comprised solely of the Company’s net loss.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling
interests disclosed within the consolidated statement of operations represent the minority ownership’s
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued, if such additional common shares were dilutive. Since we had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded as their effect would be antidilutive.
As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, a total of and , respectively, potential common shares, consisting of shares underlying outstanding convertible notes payable were excluded as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
Research and Development
Research
and Development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development expenses were $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which codified SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Compensation expense for stock issued to employees is determined as the fair value of consideration or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-07 to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees. The effective date for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted during the year ended December 31, 2018 for which there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company issues shares for multiyear consulting agreements which are restricted and nonrefundable shares.
Leases
On
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance
sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions. ASU 2016-02
became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and was adopted on a modified retrospective transition basis for leases
existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company
recorded a Right-of-use asset and a Lease Liability of $
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt —Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). This update simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and for convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, this update amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The treasury stock method is no longer available. Entities may adopt the requirements of ASU 2020-06 using either a full or modified retrospective approach, and it is effective for public businesses, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The accounting guidance has been adopted with no significant financial statement impact.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
CURRENT BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. (“TSOI” or the “Company”) was organized August 6, 2007 under the name Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada. In the first quarter of 2011 the Company changed its name from Friendly Auto Dealers, Inc. to Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., and acquired Splint Decisions, Inc., a California corporation.
On December 17, 2020, Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc. Board of Directors made a decision to move our corporate headquarters to Elk City, Idaho 83525 and has purchased real property at 701 Wild Rose Lane and 50 Bullock Lane, Elk City Idaho 83525. The Company will continue to maintain a satellite office at the current address of 4093 Oceanside Blvd., Suite B, Oceanside CA, 92056.
Business Description
Currently the Company is focused on immune modulation for the treatment of several specific diseases. Immune modulation refers to the ability to upregulate (make more active) or downregulate (make less active) one’s immune system.
Activating one’s immune system is now an accepted method to treat certain cancers, reduce recovery time from viral or bacterial infections and to prevent illness. Additionally, inhibiting one’s immune system is vital for reducing inflammation, autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
TSOI is developing a range of immune-modulatory agents to target certain cancers, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury, and for daily health.

Nutraceutical Division – TSOI has been producing high quality nutraceuticals. Its current flagship product, QuadraMune®, is a multi-patented synergistic blend of pterostilbene, sulforaphane, epigallocatechingallate, and thymoquinone. QuadraMune has been shown to increase Natural Killer Cell activity and healthy Cytokine production. Our synergistic blend of ingredients helps the immune system fight off common and complex ailments and promote healthy T Cell activity. Recently the Company was approved to sell certain nutraceuticals on the Amazon Platform.
Cellular Division – TSOI obtained exclusive rights to a patented adult stem cell for development of therapeutics in the area of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Lung Pathology (LP).
The stem cell licensed, termed “JadiCell” is unique in that it possesses features of mesenchymal stem cells, however, outperforms these cells in terms of a) enhanced growth factor production; b) augmented ability to secrete exosomes; and c) superior angiogenic and neurogenic ability.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe. TSOI has previously filed several patents in the area of CTE based on modulating the brain microenvironment to enhance receptivity of regenerative cells such as stem cells. On March 4, 2021, the Company received an IND Serial # 27377 for a clinical trial of 10 patients with CTE.
On August 4th, 2021, the Company announced clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase III pivotal trial for registration of the Company’s JadiCell™ universal donor stem cell as a treatment for COVID-19 associated lung failure under IND # 19757. In previous studies the Company has demonstrated the superior activity of JadiCell to other types of stem cells including bone marrow, adipose, cord blood, and placenta. Furthermore, the JadiCell was shown to be 100% effective in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients under the age of 85 in a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial with patients in the ICU on a ventilator. In patients over the age of 85 the survival rate was 91%. The Company also recently announced the launching of Phase III for IND # 19757 with Biorasi LLC, a global, full-service CRO, who will run the clinical trial.
In addition, the Company has filed data with the FDA, as part of IND #17448, which demonstrated that treatment of cancer patients with StemVacs™ resulted in enhanced activity of a type of immunological cell called “natural killer” cells, otherwise known as “NK cells.”
The Company has also developed an allogenic version of StemVacs and has filed patents to cover activating universal donor immune system cells called dendritic cells in a manner so that upon injection they reprogram the body’s NK cells.
Most recently the Company announced filing of a patent application covering the use of JadiCells™ for treatment of epilepsy and associated conditions.

Aneurysm Treatment by Exosomes
On May 1, 2023, the Company announced launching VasoSome Vascular Inc., based on successful treatment of Aortic Aneurysms using patent pending exosome therapy.
At present there is no treatment available for AAA other than open surgical or endovascular repair, both of which carry significant risks. The Company is currently at an early stage of development but seeks to be first-in-man clinical trials.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
An AAA is a localized dilation or “ballooning” of the abdominal aorta. Prevalence approaches 5% in men over 60 years and increases with age. About 7.5% of men over 65 years are affected. Aneurysm disease currently affects about 1.7m individuals in the United States. The prevalence is expected to exceed 3m by 2025 with the “baby boomers” reaching their seventh decade.
The natural history of AAA is progressive growth, leading to rupture and death. The growth rate is about 0.3cm per year and the rate of growth accelerates as the aneurysm gets bigger. Most AAA’s are asymptomatic and remain undetected …. until they rupture.
More than 80% of patients who suffer a ruptured AAA don’t survive long enough to reach a hospital and 50-70% of those who do reach a hospital don’t survive treatment. The likelihood of rupture increases dramatically as the AAA grows. At 5.5cm, the one year incidence of rupture is about 9%, rising to 33% as the aneurysm grows to 7cm. Ruptured AAA’s are a leading cause of death in the USA, and are the 10th leading cause of death for men over 55 years. In the US, 1-2% of all male deaths in the over 65 years cohort are due to AAA. Only 10% of patients with AAA are still alive 8 years after diagnosis compared to 65% of a similar normal population. Those who die lose an average of nine years of life.
Technology
VasoSome’s product VSX-001 is a proprietary nanoparticle derived from specialized stem cells that can be utilized in a “universal donor” manner, meaning it does not have to be matched with the donor. The product possesses numerous properties of stem cells, including inhibition of inflammation, suppression of damage to blood vessels, and ability to regenerate damaged tissue. Advantages of administering VSX-001 compared to stem cells include: a) VSX-001 is substantially smaller in size than stem cells, allowing for superior distribution; b) VSX-001 does not multiply, thus possessing a superior long-term safety profile; and c) VSX-001 can be manufactured more economically as compared to stem cells.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
On April 20, 2023, the Company filed with the USFDA an Investigational Drug Application (IND) to initiate a Phase III Clinical Trial for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
ARDS is a condition in which lung injury causes fluid to leak into the spaces between the capillaries and the alveoli. Pressure on the alveoli increases, and eventually fluid accumulates. Fluid in the lungs causes the alveoli to collapse, leading to a series of cascading problems, each further decreasing the lungs’ capacity to move oxygen into the blood, and directly impacting the body’s tissues and organs. ARDS afflicts approximately 190,000 Americans a year and is expected to reach a 19.5 billion dollar a year market by 2029.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
On December 10, 2018, Therapeutic Solutions International, Inc., announced the signing of an agreement between TSOI and Jadi Cell LLC for licensing of the Jadi Cell universal donor adult stem cell, as covered in US Patent No.: 9,803,176 B2 for use in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
On December 17, 2020, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application seeking permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial assessing safety and signals of efficacy for treatment of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) patients with JadiCells™.
On May 25, 2023 the Company announced the creation of CTE Biologics, Inc. as a subsidiary company dedicated to commercializing the JadiCell adult stem cell platform for treatment of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
| 19 |
On July 05, 2023, the Company signed license agreements with CTE Biologics for the exclusive use of US Patent Publication No.: 20220125852 titled as: “Protection and Regeneration of Neurological Function by Using Stem Cells” as well as the sale and transfer of Investigational New Drug Application titled as: Investigation of Umbilical Cordderived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Patients.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive concussive/sub-concussive hits to the head sustained over a period of years and is often found in football players. The condition is characterized by memory loss, impulsive/erratic behavior, impaired judgment, aggression, depression, and dementia. In many patients with CTE, it is anatomically characterized by brain atrophy, reduced mass of frontal and temporal cortices, and medial temporal lobe.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain, not of a degenerative or congenital nature, but caused by external physical force that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness, which results in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning.
CTE represents a significant unmet medical need which we believe is amenable to stem cell intervention. We are eager to accelerate treatments and potential cures for debilitating conditions such as CTE and traumatic brain injury and plan to leverage New regulatory pathways such as the recently approved “Right to Try” Law to deliver these medicines as soon as possible to patients which currently have no other options.
Schizophrenia/Suicide Clinical Programs
On October 29, 2020, the Company announced publication on the NIH clinical trials website of its newly initiated trial aiming to validate a blood-based diagnostic for predicting suicide risk and is listed as NCT04606875.
The Campbell Score™, which is a patent-pending method of quantifying inflammatory-associated biological markers, has previously been shown in pilot investigator-initiated studies to correlate with propensity for suicide. Based on positive feedback from collaborators, the Company decided to initiate a formal clinical trial to validate correlations between the Campbell Score™ and established psychiatric assessment tools of suicidal propensity. Currently the only means of quantifying predisposition to suicide is based on psychological, question-based techniques.
On December 31, 2020, the Company signed license agreements with Campbell Neurosciences Inc., a partially owned company, for access to the 11 patents filed related to the previous Campbell Neurosciences Division. The patents are:
● Application No.: 63/128759 Immunotherapy for Opioid Addiction

Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using JadiCell™ Universal Donor Adult Stem Cells
On October 7, 2022, the Company formed Breathe Biologics, Inc. and licensed to them a patent application titled “Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Degeneration” that discloses means of treating lung degenerative diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP) using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells such as JadiCells.
In addition, the Company has transferred ownership of the filed investigational drug application titled “JadiCell Therapy for COPD” to determine safety and efficacy of intravenously administered allogeneic JadiCell umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. The Primary Endpoint, which is toxicity, will be assessed by number of adverse events (AEs). The Secondary Endpoint, which is efficacy will be evaluated at baseline and days 30, 60, and 90.
COPD is a consistently progressive, ultimately fatal disease for which no treatment exists capable of either reversing or even interrupting its course. It afflicts more than 5% of the population in many countries, and it accordingly represents the third most frequent cause of death in the U.S., where it accounts for more than 600 billion in health care costs, morbidity, and mortality.
COPD possesses several features making it ideal for stem cell-based interventions: a) the quality of life and lack of progress demands the ethical exploration of novel approaches. For example, bone marrow stem cells have been used in over a thousand cardiac patients with some indication of efficacy. Adipose-based stem cell therapies have been successfully used in thousands of race-horses and companion animals without adverse effects, as well as numerous clinical trials are ongoing and published human data reports no adverse effects.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are potent immunomodulatory cells that recognize sites of injury, limit effector T cell reactions, and stimulate regulatory cell populations (i.e., T-regs) via growth factors, cytokines, and other mediators. Simultaneously, MSCs also stimulate local tissue regeneration via paracrine effects inducing angiogenic, anti-fibrotic and remodeling responses. Consequently, MSCs-based therapy represents a viable treatment option for autoimmune conditions and other inflammatory disorders, yielding beneficial effects in models of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, Multiple Sclerosis, cardiac insufficiency, and organ transplantation. MSCs have been reported to inhibit inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, have shown safety in clinical trials for ARDS, and have been recently suggested as useful to treat patients with severe COVID-19 based on their effects preventing or attenuating the immunopathogenic cytokine storm.
Unfortunately, evaluation of stem cell therapy in COPD has lagged behind other areas of regenerative investigation; b) the underlying cause of COPD appears to be inflammatory and/or immunologically mediated. The destruction of alveolar tissue is associated with T cell reactivity, pathological pulmonary macrophage activation, and auto-antibody production. Mesenchymal stem cells have been demonstrated to potently suppress autoreactive T cells, inhibit macrophage activation, and autoantibody responses. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells can be purified in high concentrations from adipose stromal vascular tissue together with high concentrations of T regulatory cells, which in animal models are approximately 100 times more potent than peripheral T cells at secreting cytokines therapeutic for COPD such as IL-10. Additionally, use of adipose derived cells has yielded promising clinical results in autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis; and c) Pulmonary stem cells capable of regenerating damaged parenchymal tissue have been reported. Administration of mesenchymal stem cells into neonatal oxygen-damaged lungs, which results in COPD-like alveoli dysplasia, has been demonstrated to yield improvements in two recent publications.
Based on the above rationale for stem cell-based COPD treatments, we are proposing a 10 patient Phase I safety trial to assess ability of JadiCell, a type of umbilical cord derived stem cells to improve objective and quality of life parameters in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
MSCs can be derived in large number from the Umbilical Cord (UC). JadiCells are a type of UC-MSCs, which can be utilized in the allogeneic setting and have demonstrated safety and efficacy in clinical trials for a number of disease conditions including inflammatory and immune-based diseases. UC-MSCs have been shown to inhibit inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs.
| 21 |
JadiCell UC-MSCs have been utilized to treat patients with severe COVID-19 and have yielded promising results, preventing, or attenuating the cytokine storm. JadiCells have been recently introduced intravenously in patients with a neurodegenerative disorder and have been approved for testing in patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). We hypothesize that JadiCells will exert beneficial therapeutic effects in COPD.
Breast Cancer Immunotherapy
Recently the Company announced the formation of a Spin-Off Company, Res Nova Bio, Inc., dedicated to the development of cancer inhibiting anti-angiogenesis immunotherapies. Res Nova Bio has licensed from Therapeutic Solutions International intellectual property covering StemVacs-V which is our iPSC derived platform technology announced in May of 2021. The technology utilizes pluripotent stem cells called iPSCs in order to generate new cells which resemble tumor blood vessels that are made to act as a “therapeutic vaccine”. Specifically, the administration of StemVacs-V stimulates the immune system to selectively kill blood vessels that feed the tumor but not healthy blood vessels. It is believed that for every 1 tumor blood vessel cell that is killed, 200-300 tumor cells are also killed as a result.
In addition to the license, the Company has transferred ownership of the IND titled “Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer by StemVacs-V Cancer Immunotherapeutic” to Res Nova Bio with the primary objective being safety and feasibility of StemVacs-V administration at 12 months as assessed by lack of adverse medical events. The secondary objective is efficacy as judged by tumor response, time to progression, and immunological monitoring.
Cellular Manufacturing and Cell Banking
On October 18, 2021, the Company announced the formation of Allogen Biologics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of TSOI. Allogen Biologics will house intellectual property and Standard Operating Procedures related to generation of the Company’s existing and anticipated cellular therapeutics. In addition, Allogen will house and maintain all relevant cell banks.
On May 10, 2022, Allogen Biologic, Inc, and Therapeutic Solutions International Inc, entered into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement (EPLA) for Patent Application Serial No. 63/254,469, filed by Licensor and titled as: Umbilical Cord Derived Regenerative and Immune Modulatory Stem Cell Populations.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company’s business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Company will be subject to additional agencies and regulations if it enters the manufacturing business. Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business, such as the California Department of Health Services, Food and Drug Branch. The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:
| ● | product claims and advertising; | |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have experienced recurring losses over the past years which have resulted in accumulated deficits of approximately $18.8 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.7 million at June 30, 2023. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing, increase sales of its products and attain profitable operations. It is the intent of management to continue to raise additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional funds or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
There is no guarantee we will receive the required financing to complete our business strategies, and it is uncertain whether future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. In making our assessment, we used the framework and criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
| 25 |
Our management concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of June 30, 2023.
| (1) | we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions; | |
| (2) | we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance of account reconciliations and approval; | |
| (3) | we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by insufficient accounting staff. |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.
However, as of the date of this report, management believes the outcome of currently identified potential claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
