Description of Business

 

  

BioCardia, Inc. (we, us, our, BioCardia or the Company), is a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company developing novel therapeutics for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is the CardiAMP® Cell Therapy, which provides an autologous bone marrow derived cell therapy for treatment in two clinical indications: heart failure that develops after a heart attack and chronic myocardial ischemia. The Company’s second therapeutic platform is an investigational bone marrow derived allogeneic “off the shelf” Neurokinin-1 receptor positive mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of cardiac and pulmonary disease. To date, we have devoted substantially all our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates and biotherapeutic delivery systems including conducting clinical trials, developing manufacturing and sales capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property.

 

  

BioCardia also has three enabling device product lines: (1) the CardiAMP cell processing system; (2) the Helix biotherapeutic delivery system, or Helix; and (3) the Morph vascular access product line, or Morph. We manage our operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.
