Autologous monocytes

Aivita Biomedical, Inc. · Phase 3 active Biologic

Autologous monocytes is a Cell therapy; autologous cellular immunotherapy Biologic drug developed by Aivita Biomedical, Inc.. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Diabetic foot ulcers (Phase 3).

Autologous monocytes are a patient's own immune cells that are isolated, potentially modified or activated ex vivo, and reinfused to enhance immune function and promote tissue repair.

Autologous monocytes are a patient's own immune cells that are isolated, potentially modified or activated ex vivo, and reinfused to enhance immune function and promote tissue repair. Used for Diabetic foot ulcers (Phase 3).

Likelihood of approval
59.3% vs 58.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2028–2030
Steps remaining: NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Immunology slight uplift +1.0pp
    Mature endpoint landscape (ACR, DAS28, PASI) makes immunology approvals slightly more predictable.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2028–2030
EMA EU 2029–2031 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2029–2031 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2029–2032 +0.9 yr
TGA AU 2029–2032 +1.2 yr
PMDA JP 2029–2032 +1.5 yr
NMPA CN 2030–2033 +2.3 yr
MFDS KR 2029–2032 +1.4 yr
CDSCO IN 2029–2033 +1.8 yr
ANVISA BR 2030–2033 +2.3 yr

Hover any row for the lag rationale. Lag estimates are reduced when the drug has FDA Breakthrough or EMA PRIME designation (sponsors file globally in parallel).

Estimate based on the BIO/Informa industry phase transition rates plus per-drug modifiers for therapeutic area, sponsor type, FDA designations, mechanism, and trial design. Per-jurisdiction lags from Tufts CSDD international approval studies. Not investment, clinical or regulatory advice. Methodology: /methodology#likelihood.

Mechanism of action

This cell therapy leverages the patient's own monocytes—innate immune cells with roles in inflammation, phagocytosis, and tissue remodeling—by harvesting them, processing them (potentially with activation or differentiation signals), and returning them to the patient to augment immune responses or promote healing. The mechanism likely involves enhanced antimicrobial activity, clearance of damaged tissue, and secretion of immunomodulatory cytokines.
