The trial aims to confirm the durable pain reduction from a single intra-discal injection of rexlemestrocel-L seen in the earlier MSB-DR003 trial.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Silviu Itescu, Chief Executive of Mesoblast, said: \u201cCompleting our target of treating at least 300 patients in the placebo-controlled pivotal back pain trial ensures the trial is well powered for success. Commercial manufacturing is proceeding in parallel so that we can file for approval as soon as possible after trial results readout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">CLBP caused by inflammation and degenerative disc disease is a serious condition with a prevalence of over 7 million people in the U.S. alone. The indication is a potential blockbuster for Mesoblast with potential peak year revenue of &gt;US$10 billion with single digit market penetration.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The trial&#8217;s primary endpoint is powered to show a significant difference in reduction of low back pain at 12 months between rexlemestrocel-L and sham controls. Secondary endpoints include improvements in function, quality of life, and cessation of pain medication, including opioids.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Rexlemestrocel-L has Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of CLBP due to degenerative disc disease providing eligibility for priority review once the Biologics License Application (BLA) has been filed. Top-line results are expected in mid-CY2027 after the last treated patient has completed 12 months follow-up.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Rexlemestrocel-L for Chronic Low Back Pain associated with Degenerative Disc Disease <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The 300-patient randomized controlled confirmatory Phase 3 trial of Mesoblast\u2019s second generation allogeneic, STRO3-immunoselected, and industrially manufactured stromal cell product candidate rexlemestrocel-L in combination with hyaluronic acid (HA) as delivery agent for injection into the lumbar disc is actively enrolling in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) due to inflammatory degenerative disc disease (DDD) of less than five years duration at multiple sites across the U.S.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">FDA has previously agreed on the design of this 300-patient randomized, placebo-controlled confirmatory Phase 3 trial, and the 12-month primary endpoint of pain reduction as an approvable indication. This endpoint was successfully met in Mesoblast\u2019s first Phase 3 trial. Key secondary measures include improvement in quality of life and function.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">A particular focus is on treatment of patients on opioids, since discogenic back pain accounts for approximately 50% of prescription opioid usage in the U.S. Significant pain reduction and opioid cessation were observed in Mesoblast\u2019s first Phase 3 trial.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">FDA has designated rexlemestrocel-L a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) for the treatment of chronic low back pain. RMAT designation provides all the benefits of Breakthrough and Fast Track designations, including rolling review and eligibility for priority review on filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Chronic Low Back Pain<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Back pain is the leading cause of disability in Americans under 45 years,<sup>1<\/sup> with an annual prevalence in the general U.S. adult population of 10-30%.<sup>2<\/sup> CLBP caused by inflammation and degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a serious condition with a prevalence of over 7 million people in the U.S. alone.<sup>3,4<\/sup> CLBP due to DDD is a leading cause of disability, and is associated with impaired quality of life, severe limitations in ability to perform activities of daily living, reduced ability to work, and negative impacts on mental health. CLBP accounts for approximately 50% of prescription opioid usage in the U.S., making the condition a significant contributor to the opioid epidemic.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Mesoblast <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>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.
