OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER

RYONCIL (remestemcel-L-rknd)

The Company is executing on its strategy to extend its FDA-approved label for its flagship product Ryoncil^® beyond children with steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD) to adults with SR-aGvHD, a market three times larger, and to both children and adults with other severe, life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
The registration trial for label extension of Ryoncil^® into adults with SR-aGvHD has commenced and is currently enrolling patients, with up to 40 sites across the U.S. expected to be activated this year representing approximately 60% of the ~8,500 annual U.S. allogeneic adult bone marrow transplant population.
Mesoblast received Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed directly to a registrational trial evaluating Ryoncil^® in ambulatory children aged 5-9 years with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which affects approximately 15,000 children in the U.S.

REXLEMESTROCEL L

Mesoblast achieved its target of at least 300 patients treated in the MSB-DR004 pivotal Phase 3 randomized controlled trial of rexlemestrocel-L for chronic low back pain (CLBP) associated with degenerative disc disease; these patients will be followed through the trial’s twelve-month primary endpoint to assess reduction in pain from baseline between rexlemestrocel-L and placebo-treated groups.
Received a Biologics License Application (BLA) filing number from FDA and has requested a modular review of its BLA for rexlemestrocel-L in prevention of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding due to right ventricular dysfunction in end-stage heart failure patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).

Other activities

Held inaugural R&D day on April 8^th in New York. A replay of the event is available here and presentation materials here.
At the R&D day, Mesoblast unveiled next generation mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) strategies including announcing the acquisition of an exclusive worldwide license to a patented chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology platform for precision-enhanced augmentation of therapeutic MSC products.
This CAR technology provides Mesoblast with an immediate opportunity to generate products with even greater potency for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. In addition, Mesoblast plans to use CAR-MSCs engineered to express CD19 on their surface to induce remission in Lupus Nephritis and other B cell autoimmune diseases where durable, effective and safe immunomodulation is highly desirable.

About Mesoblast
Mesoblast (the Company) is a world leader in developing allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions. The therapies from the Company’s proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform respond to severe inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory factors that counter and modulate multiple effector arms of the immune system, resulting in significant reduction of the damaging inflammatory process.

Mesoblast’s Ryoncil^® (remestemcel-L-rknd) for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD) in pediatric patients 2 months and older is the first FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy. Please see the full Prescribing Information at www.ryoncil.com.

Mesoblast is committed to developing additional cell therapies for distinct indications based on its remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L allogeneic stromal cell technology platforms. Ryoncil^® is being developed for additional inflammatory diseases including SR-aGvHD in adults and biologic-resistant inflammatory bowel disease. Rexlemestrocel-L is being developed for heart failure and chronic low back pain. The Company has established commercial partnerships in Japan, Europe and China.
