Summary
Regenerative Arthritis and Bone Medicine (RABOME) was launched in 2013 to develop and commercialize a class of drugs based on targeting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to various sites of clinical relevance. Our lead molecule is RAB-001 (previously known as LLP2A-ALE) and it employs a particular receptor expressed on the surface of MSCs to target these cells to bone surfaces. The MSCs, whether endogenous or externally injected, direct new bone growth and increase existing bone mass and strength. These cells are also immune-modulating cells and they help in reducing inflammation at the directed sites. These findings have currently been demonstrated in a number of animal models for osteonecrosis, fracture healing, osteoporosis, and inflammatory arthritis. The potential opportunity for RABOME is to develop these drugs addressing a need for effective stem cell treatments in osteonecrosis, fracture healing, osteoporosis, and inflammatory arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis).
