Tulsi-28X Reverses Liver Fibrosis in Preclinical Studies, Readies for Human Trials

Supported by BIRAC at ASPIRE-BioNEST, validated by international collaborators, Tulsi-28X will enter regulatory review ahead of first-in-human trials at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences.

Overview

  • Tulsi-28X, combining Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells with their native exosomes, achieved complete reversal of liver fibrosis with zero mortality in animal models.
  • Collaborators including Indiana University’s Dr. Naga Chalasani and PGIMER’s Dr. Ajay Duseja oversaw trials that contrasted starkly with control groups showing 14% reversal and 43% mortality.
  • Originally conceptualized in the United States and fully developed over three years at ASPIRE-BioNEST in Hyderabad, the therapy is the world’s first dual stem cell–exosome biologic.
  • Key findings were showcased at the AASLD 2024 Liver Conference in San Diego and accepted for publication in the Journal of Regenerative Medicine.
  • Tulsi Therapeutics has secured a partnership with Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences to navigate regulatory approvals and design its inaugural human clinical trials.
