This summary description about us and our business highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. You should carefully read this entire prospectus and each of the documents incorporated herein by reference before making an investment decision. Investors should also carefully consider the information set forth under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Corporate Overview
We are a commercial stage biotechnology company dedicated to the advancement of identifying and translating novel biological therapeutics in the fields of immunotherapy, endocrinology, urology, neurology and orthopedics. Our platforms, therapies and products include the following:
Our subsidiary, Creative Medical Technologies, Inc. (“CMT”), was originally created to monetize U.S. Patent No. 8,372,797 and related intellectual property related to the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which it acquired in February 2016. Subsequently, we have expanded our development and acquisition of intellectual property beyond urology to include therapeutic treatments utilizing “re-programmed” stem cells, and the treatment of neurologic disorders, lower back pain, Type-1 diabetes, and heart, liver, kidney, and other diseases using various types of stem cells through our ImmCelz, Inc., StemSpine, Inc. and AlloCelz LLC subsidiaries. However, neither ImmCelz Inc., nor AlloCelz LLC have commenced commercial activities.
We currently conduct substantially all of our commercial operations through CMT, which markets and sells our CaverStem® and FemCelz® disposable kits utilized by physicians to perform autologous procedures that treat erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction, respectively. Our CaverStem® and FemCelz® kits are currently available through physicians at eight locations in the United States.
In 2020, through our ImmCelz Inc. subsidiary, we began developing treatments under our ImmCelz™ platform (CELZ-100), that utilize a patient’s own extracted immune cells that are then “reprogrammed/supercharged” by culturing them outside the patient’s body with optimized cell-free factors. The immune cells are then re-injected into the patient from whom they were extracted. We believe this process endows the immune cells with regenerative properties (or “supercharges” them) providing them with the ability to treat multiple indications. We have validated this ability through the third-party studies described below that were independently conducted on selected human donor patient cells for accuracy and reproducibility. In contrast to other stem cell-based approaches, the immune cells are significantly smaller in size than stem cells and are believed to more effectively penetrate areas of the damaged tissues and induce regeneration.

In June 2022, we signed an agreement with Greenstone Biosciences Inc. (“Greenstone”) for the development of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) pipeline for our ImmCelz™ platform. This project was identified as iPScelz™. The efforts by Greenstone are expected to complement and expand our current work on novel therapeutic cell lines. In May 2023, we announced that we had received confirmation that Greenstone had successfully developed a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). We estimate that the development of this cell line will save the Company two to three years in research and development time along with associated expenses. The final iPScelz™ results in a viral-free cell line which has great potential for differentiation into therapeutic biologics both for the cellular and cell-free programs along with targeted drug discovery. Greenstone’s developments were confirmed by an independent, industry-leading research firm.
In October 2022, we announced the development of our AlloStem™ Clinical Cell Line (CELZ-200), a proprietary allogenic cell line which includes a Master Cell Bank and a Drug Master File. We believe we will able to use this cell line for many of our programs, including our ImmCelz™ immunotherapy platform for multiple diseases, OvaStem® for Premature Ovarian Failure, Type I Diabetes (CELZ-201 CREATE-1), AlloStemSpine™ Chronic Lower Back Pain (CELZ-201 ADAPT), and IPScelz™ inducible pluripotent stem cell program in ongoing development with Greenstone.
In November 2022, we announced that the FDA had cleared the Company’s Type I Diabetes (CELZ-201 CREATE-1) Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes utilizing our AlloStem™ Clinical Cell Line, which will allow us to begin a Phase I/II clinical trial. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate CELZ-201 treatment in patients with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. The trial has also received Institutional Board Review (IRB) approval for the trial to proceed as well as approval of the patient recruitment material. Patient recruitment was initiated in September 2023.
In February 2023, the Company reported positive three-year follow-up data for its StemSpine™ pilot study. The three-year data demonstrates continued efficacy of the StemSpine® procedure for treating chronic lower back pain without any serious adverse effects reported.
In March 2023, we reported the following results of independent studies:
· ImmCelz™ (CELZ-100) platform required 75% fewer donor patient cells compared to industry standard. · The purity of the final ImmCelz™ (CELZ-100) product was greater than 95% compared to the industry standard of greater than 80%. · ImmCelz™ (CELZ-100) demonstrated a greater than 200% reduction in functional suppression of effector T cells, which are a critical concern for patients with autoimmune issues, while still possessing a high number of functional T regulatory cells. · The ability to verify repeated potency of the final ImmCelz™(CELZ-100) product.
We believe these results show that we will be able to substantially reduce production costs, while allowing for the manufacture of the best clinical product for patients with immune disorders, which will enable us to accelerate our clinical applications and encourage potential collaborations with respect to our ImmCelz™ platform.
In March 2023, the Company announced that it filed an application with the FDA to receive Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) for the treatment of Brittle Type 1 Diabetes using its ImmCelz™ (CELZ-100) platform. In March 2024, the Company received ODD for the treatment of Brittle Type 1 Diabetes from the FDA. This designation provides multiple important benefits to support the therapy's development including tax advantages, user fee exemptions, and the opportunity for market exclusivity following approval.

In April 2023, the Company reported positive one-year follow-up data and significant efficacy using CELZ-001 to treat patients with Type 2 Diabetes. There were no safety concerns related to CELZ-001 at one year follow-up utilizing the same infusion procedure as in the currently U.S. FDA cleared Type I Diabetes (CELZ-201 CREATE-1) clinical trial. There were 30 patients in the study, 15 who received CELZ-001 and the rest received optimized medical therapy. At one year, there was an overall efficacy of 93% in the treated patients demonstrating at least a 50% reduction in insulin requirement.
In September 2023, the Company received FDA clearance to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial of AlloStemSpine™ Chronic Lower Back Pain (CELZ-201 ADAPT) using AlloStem™ (CELZ-201-DDT) for the treatment of lower back pain. The first in country study, which will enroll 30 individuals suffering from chronic lower back pain, is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of AlloStem™ (CELZ-201-DDT). The minimally invasive procedure uses ultrasound for the targeted delivery of the cell product, and thus prevents radiation exposure to the patient or the injecting physician. In October, 2023 we filed for and received approval from an institutional review board (IRB) to proceed with this trial. This trial, protected by issued patents, is a huge milestone for the Company and for patients suffering from this debilitating problem and their need for opioids for pain.
In March 2024, the Company secured FDA authorization for an expanded access therapy using CELZ-201, in managing abnormal glucose tolerance and preventing Type I Diabetes in high-risk individuals. The therapy uses CELZ-201 to potentially prevent Type I Diabetes onset and is believed to be a first in medical history. This personalized medicine approach, focuses on a single high-risk patient. CELZ-201 has a multi-target mechanism to address abnormal glucose tolerance, a Type I Diabetes precursor, at the cellular level.
In June 2024, the Company announced that it has successfully generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived Islet Cells that produce human insulin. The Company believes this development has the potential for not only clinical translation of the human Islet Cells, but also the stand-alone human insulin which is produced by these cells.
Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On October 23, 2024, the Company closed a registered direct offering (the “Registered Offering”) of 418,552 shares of common stock, and a concurrent private placement of Warrants to purchase 837,104 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.42 per share (the “Private Placement” and, together with the Registered Offering, the “Offering”), which were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,850,000. The shares of common stock were sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, filed on October 23, 2024, to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, originally filed on October 4, 2024, with the SEC (File No. 333-282512), and declared effective by the SEC on October 15, 2024. The Warrants, which were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) or Regulation D of the Securities Act, will not be exercisable until the Company has obtained stockholder approval for the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), and will then be exercisable for a period of five years following the date the Company obtains such stockholder approval.
The shares of common stock and Warrants were sold to the selling stockholders pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated October 22, 2024, between the Company and the selling stockholders. The Company engaged Roth Capital Partners (the “Placement Agent”) to act as its exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, to reimburse the Placement Agent for out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of up to $75,000, and to issue the Placement Agent, or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the Registered Offering and the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants issued in the Private Placement. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an expiration date of five years from the commencement of sales of the Offering and certain FINRA provisions.
The net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $1.6 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information in this prospectus and the information contained in our other filings with the SEC as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment. You could lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”
Sales of Substantial Amounts of Our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders, or the Perception That These Sales Could Occur, Could Adversely Affect the Price of Our Common Stock.
The sale by the selling stockholders of a significant number of shares of common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the perception in the public markets that the selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of its shares as a result of the registration of such shares for resale pursuant to this prospectus could also in and of itself have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for resale will have on the market price of our common stock.
We Have a Limited Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock Available for Issuance, Which May Limit Our Ability to Raise Capital When Needed to Support Our Business.
We are currently authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, 1,747,832 shares were outstanding and 3,199,000 shares were reserved for future issuance under outstanding options and warrants. We currently have only approximately 50,000 available unissued and unreserved authorized shares to meet the needs of our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary stockholder approval to increase our authorized shares of common stock under our articles of incorporation in the future, and therefore, we may continue to be limited in the shares of common stock we may issue to finance our operations.
We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to permit the beneficial holders of our common stock described in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders,” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus, to resell such shares. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of warrants, which will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Warrants issued in the private placement we closed on October 23, 2024. For additional information regarding the issuance of those Warrants, see “Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except as noted in this prospectus, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of our shares of common stock and warrants as of November 7, 2024, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Warrants and other warrants held by selling stockholders, a selling stockholder may not exercise any such warrant to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
