Cardium's Tissue Repair Company subsidiary (TRC) is a San Diego-based
biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of growth factor
therapeutics for the treatment of severe chronic diabetic wounds. TRC's
lead product candidate, Excellarate, is a DNA-activated collagen gel for
topical treatment formulated with an adenovector delivery carrier encoding
human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). Excellarate is initially
being developed to be administered once or twice for the potential
treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. Other potential applications
for TRC's Gene Activated Matrix(TM) (GAM) technology include therapeutic
angiogenesis (cardiovascular ischemia, peripheral arterial disease) and
