Vitro Biopharma, a publicly traded biotechnology firm (OTCQB:VODG), develops technology and products derived from adult stem cells and is currently focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs have numerous applications in treatment of a variety of medical conditions, including injuries or diseases of the joints, heart, kidney, liver and lung failure, MS, stroke, cancer, hearing loss, and various other regenerative medicine applications. MSCs may be derived from an individual patient, expanded and then transplanted back to that patient to treat injury or disease through regeneration or repair of specific cells. Vitro manufactures and distributes to global markets a series of products for use by scientists and companies developing clinical applications of MSCs. Our products include: a) Cell Culture Media -We offer various formulations of MSCs and primary cell cultures with numerous competitive advantages. b) Various Cell Lines -Our cell lines include Umbilical Cord Blood derived MSCs, Adipose derived MSCs, Fluorescent Labeled MSCs, Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), and Differentiated MSCs c) Brain-Grow Technologies -Neurological and Inflammatory Biomarker Profiling and Nutraceutical Recovery Packages

Vital Therapies, Inc. is a biotherapeutic company focused on developing a cell-based system for the treatment of acute liver failure. Our product candidate, the ELAD® System, is a human cell-based, bio-artificial liver support system that operates outside the body, or extracorporeally, and is designed with the proposed intent to allow the patient’s own liver to regenerate to a healthy state, or to stabilize the patient until liver transplant. The ELAD System incorporates our human liver-derived cells, or VTL C3A cells, contained in four hollow fiber cartridges, that are combined with single use customized disposable sets and an ancillary delivery system. Data from ELAD clinical studies has shown trends that may indicate a potential to increase survival rates in patients with acute liver failure. ELAD has received orphan designation in the United States and Europe for the treatment of acute liver failure. Prior to the initiation of our ongoing Phase III clinical trial program, over 145 subjects have received therapy with the ELAD System in seven clinical trials and through a compassionate use program, which we believe collectively suggests a promising therapeutic profile. In March 2013, we initiated VTI-208, a Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial in 200 subjects with alcohol-induced liver decompensation. We reached the midpoint in enrollment of this trial in April 2014, and anticipate the release of preliminary data in the first half of 2015. In addition, we are conducting a second Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial, VTI-210, in 150 subjects with severe acute alcoholic hepatitis, or AAH, which is a subset of AILD, and expect to initiate enrollment of subjects later in 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we began enrollment of a Phase II clinical trial of the ELAD System in subjects with either fulminant hepatic failure, or FHF, or surgery-induced acute liver failure, or SILF. We anticipate the release of data from VTI-210 in 2016 and the Phase II component of VTI-212 in 2015 or 2016.
