The accelerator business model is to exit to a strategic partner each organ specific startup after first in man clinical study data is available for review. The company has announced it is opening password protected due diligence rooms for 5 of its 30 startups to pre-qualified CDA signed prospective buyers with intention to exit or develop a strategic partnership for each of these five by the end of 2019 – MyoStim ED (erectile dysfunction), OrthodontiCell (teeth straightening), Second Heart Assist (circulatory assist), HairCell (hair regeneration) and EyeCell (vision recovery). Leonhardt’s Launchpads startups have enrolled > 3500 patients (500 non-dental and 3000 dental) in organ regeneration and recovery clinical studies or evaluations to date and have more than 400 organ regeneration and recovery patent claims issued, pending, optioned or licensed.

Bioelectric stimulation controlled regenerative protein expressions are at the heart of 28 out of 30 startups within the Leonhardt’s Lauchpads 2019 startup portfolio class. These include these proteins expressions intended for these purposes…

1. SDF1 and PDGF for stem cell homing.
2. IGF1 for DNA repair.
3. Follistatin for muscle regeneration.
4. Tropoelastin for increasing tissue elasticity.
5. Klotho for multiple organ regeneration applications.
6. Sonic hedgehog for multiple organ regneration applications.
7. VEGF, SDF1, PDGF, EGF, HGF, eNOS, HIF1a, CXCL5, Klotho and Tropoelastin for growing larger diameter non-leaking new blood vessels.
8. RANKL and OPG for straightening teeth and other applications.
9. OPG for bone regeneration.

For attempting recovery of the most severely diseased organs the IP platform includes the use of a two chamber re-fillable micro infusion pump that is refilled daily with a fifteen component organ regeneration composition that is comprised of stem cells, PRF, selected exosomes, regenerative fluid from amniotic sourcing, selected alkaloids, micro RNA gel, nutrient hydrogel, oxygenated and other nanoparticles and organ-specific matrix. The complete composition is only in animal studies at this time. A few of the components have entered controlled OUS feasibility studies such as autologous PRF and regenerative fluid from amniotic sourcing.

Despite published data from a number of studies the companies make no claims of proven safety or efficacy yet for any application of use. Our business model is to align with a strategic partner to carry each organ-specific application through multiple larger scale double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled studies of statistical significance to prove out both the safety and efficacy.

“We are committed to designing and implementing well-controlled pre-clinical and clinical studies to prove out the safety and efficacy of our organ-specific applications in incremental steps over time always putting patient safety first. Early pre-clinical and limited pilot clinical study data is encouraging us that there may be a place for bioelectric signaling controlled protein expressions in helping patients recover in the future and for the more severely diseased patients there seems to be a place for repeat deliveries of not only stem cells but a well designed cocktail of support factors.” Dr. Leslie Miller, Chief Medical Officer

“Our building patent portfolio we believe is the most comprehensive in the industry related to the optimal bioelectric signaling for controlled protein expressions with the potential to aide in organ recovery. For the most severely diseased patients our patent portfolio includes a re-filable two-chamber micro infusion pump and a multiple component stem cells and support factors mixed composition that we believe will be proven out over time through properly controlled studies to be more effective than previous studies of one time delivery of stem cells alone.” states Howard J. Leonhardt, Executive Chairman and CEO

“Every day we are working on the discovery of new bioelectric signaling sequences of new protein expressions that may be useful in supporting organ regeneration and recovery at our two dedicated research labs in Utah and our lab at LABioMed in Los Angeles with a great team of people supported by experienced mentors. We have a goal to double the number of patent pending protein expressions in our IP estate within the next 12 to 24 months”. stated Dr. Brett Burton, Vice President of Research and Development, Leonhardt’s Launchpads Utah
“Recent advancements in electronics now permits precise clear bioelectric signaling that can give cells precision instructions to produce specific regenerative protein expressions for specific purposes on demand. This has opened up a whole new world of potential therapeutic solutions. No other group is working as hard as our team to apply these breakthroughs into patient benefit in the near future”. states Alex Richardson Vice President of Engineering and Product Development @ Leonhardt’s Launchpads
