SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCardia, Inc. [Nasdaq: BCDA], a developer of cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024 and filed its annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will host a corporate update conference call on Monday, March 31, 2025 at 4:30 PM ET following its presentation of results from the CardiAMP HF Trial at the Late-Breaking Clinical Trials symposium at the American College of Cardiology 2025 Scientific Sessions in Chicago (see dial-in information below). Recent Business Highlights CardiAMP® autologous cell therapy in ischemic heart failure of reduced ejection fraction (BCDA-01) In the fourth quarter of 2024, we had a consultation with Japan’s Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) regarding next steps for registration of the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System in Japan for the treatment of heart failure of reduced ejection fraction based on the data from our CardiAMP HF Trial. PMDA invited our next consultation after the submission of our clinical data with two-year follow-up and indicated they are open to considering the results from this and our previous trials being sufficient evidence for registration.Also in this quarter, the CardiAMP HF Trial had its last protocol specified follow-up visit. Since then, our team has completed close out visits, data monitoring with source data verification and data freeze of primary outcome measures. Data analysis is near completion and results are being prepared for presentation at the Late-Breaking Clinical Trials symposium at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions scheduled for this coming Sunday, March 30, 2025.In the coming weeks, we will be finalizing the initial trial manuscript for publication, sharing the results with the FDA and Japan’s PMDA, and accelerating enrollment activities in the CardiAMP HF II Trial. CardiAMP autologous cell therapy in chronic myocardial ischemic with refractory angina (BCDA-02) The last patient enrolled into the open-label roll-in cohort reached their primary six-month endpoint in February 2025. We are gathering results of this cohort at the six-month primary endpoint for publication and presentation. CardiALLO Cell Therapy in Ischemic Heart Failure (BCDA-03) Treatment of the low dose cohort of 20 million cells has been completed and to our knowledge there have been no treatment-emergent adverse events, arrhythmias, rejection, or allergic responses. Per protocol, formal Data Safety Monitoring Board review of these patients will take place in the second quarter of 2025.   Morph Access Innovations The first commercial Morph DNA steerable introducer devices in 45 cm and 70 cm length and 5 and 8 French configurations have been manufactured at our Sunnyvale facility and are now available. Physicians will be using these in our CardiAMP and CardiALLO clinical trials, in programs with our therapeutic partners, and in commercial clinical procedures. “We look forward to sharing the CardiAMP HF data at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions this week,” said BioCardia CEO Peter Altman, Ph.D. “This data readout has potential to significantly de-risk development of our minimally invasive autologous cell therapy product candidate for patients with ischemic heart failure and may serve as the primary evidence to support product registration for market release.” 2024 Financial Results: Net cash used in operations was approximately $8.0 million during the year ended 2024, compared to approximately $10.0 million in 2023, primarily due to reductions in research and development expense following completion of the CardiAMP HF Trial. The Company ended the year with cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.4 million.Revenues were approximately $58,000 in 2024, compared to approximately $477,000 in 2023, due primarily to the fulfillment of performance obligations for several business partners.Research and development expenses decreased to approximately $4.4 million in 2024, compared to approximately $7.7 million in 2023, primarily due to reduced clinical expenses following the completion of the CardiAMP HF Trial.Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $3.7 million in 2024, compared to approximately $4.4 million in 2023, primarily due to realignment of personnel and cost reductions following completion of the CardiAMP HF Trial.Our net loss decreased to approximately $7.9 million in 2024, compared to approximately $11.6 million in 2023.
