Creative Medical Technology Reports Positive One-Year Results for AlloStem™ Type 2 Diabetes Program
Significant Efficacy and No Serious Adverse Effects Observed with CELZ-201
PHOENIX, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CELZ), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing regenerative medicine solutions, today announced promising one-year follow-up data from the AlloStem ™ (CELZ-201) Type 2 Diabetes pilot study for late-stage patients. CELZ-201 is an off the shelf, ready-to-use universal and proprietary allogenic (donor) cell line developed by the Company.
Results demonstrate that CELZ-201 achieved an 80% overall efficacy rate in reducing insulin dependency and stabilizing hemoglobin A1c levels, with no serious adverse effects reported.
The study, which included 20 patients—10 receiving CELZ-201 and 10 undergoing optimized medical therapy—validated the safety and efficacy of CELZ-201 through the same infusion procedure used in the Company’s U.S. FDA-cleared Type 1 Diabetes clinical trial, which is currently underway. The absence of safety concerns further supports the potential of CELZ-201 as a breakthrough treatment for late-stage Type 2 Diabetes.
Given these compelling results, Creative Medical Technology plans to advance the development of AlloStem (CELZ-201) for the treatment of late-stage Type 2 Diabetes and explore other potential applications of this therapy to expand the Company’s pipeline.
“The positive one-year data from the study represents a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize diabetes treatment and help a wide variety of patients who potentially may not benefit from autologous therapies,” said Timothy Warbington, President and CEO of Creative Medical Technology. “With a diversified portfolio that includes CELZ-201 for early-stage Type 1 Diabetes, CELZ-101 for brittle Type 1 Diabetes, and CELZ-201 for late-stage Type 2 Diabetes, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that transform patient care.”
About Type 2 Diabetes*
Type 2 diabetes affects approximately 90-95% of the 38 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes.

Diabetes remains the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S., with over 96 million adults classified as prediabetic—more than 80% of whom are unaware of their condition.
