BioRestorative Therapies announced that it has entered into an agreement with the Bruder Consulting & Venture Group, a full service strategic advisory firm with focus areas in biologics, tissue repair, biomaterials and regenerative medicine. BCVG has been engaged to assist the Company in seeking FDA approval of the expansion of the clinical application of BRTX-100. BRTX-100 is the Company's lead clinical candidate, a novel cell-based therapeutic engineered to target areas of the body that have little blood flow.

BRTX-100 is currently being evaluated in connection with a Phase 2 clinical trial in chronic lumbar disc disease ("cLDD"). The trial is prospective, randomized, double-blinded and controlled. The trial will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single dose of BRTX-100, including a specific release criteria of 40 million cells intradiscally injected into the nucleus of the lumbar disc.

A total of up to 99 eligible patients will be randomized at up to 15 clinical sites in the United States to receive either the investigational drug (BRTX-100) or control in a 2:1 fashion.
