MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. (OTCMKTS: BPSR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of regenerative therapies, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its lead product, Zofin™, in the treatment of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

This approved trial design will be a double blinded, placebo-controlled, phase I/II trial investigating the safety and potential efficacy of intravenous infusion (IV) of Zofin™ for the treatment of COPD.

Zofin™ is an acellular, biologic therapeutic derived from perinatal sources and is manufactured to retain naturally occurring microRNAs, without the addition or combination of any other substance or diluent. This product contains over 300 growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and 102 unique microRNAs as well as other exosomes/nanoparticles derived from perinatal tissues.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “COPD makes breathing difficult for the 16 million Americans who have this disease. Millions more people suffer from COPD but have not been diagnosed and are not being treated.”

“COPD is a chronic, degenerative, inflammatory lung disease with no current cure,” said Dr. Mari Mitrani, Chief Science Officer of Organicell. “We are excited to initiate this FDA approved clinical trial and to further explore the potential of Zofin™ in battling this disease.”
