SMSbiotech - Reg A

We are a San Diego-based biotech company that discovered and named the "SMS" human stem cell and are utilizing our patented platform to develop treatments for horrible diseases like COPD.

What are Small Mobile Stem (SMS) cells?

They are a special type of stem cell that is found natively in our human blood.

 

Icon 1
Ethically obtained from adult human blood

Just two blood vials from one donor will generate trillions of SMS cells that can be applied to many patients.

Icon 2
Extensively safety tested

Both in-vitro and in-vivo testing in multiple animal species show no cellular toxicity or tumour generation.

Icon 3
Massive regenerative performance

SMS cells stimulate regenerative cell growth and show rapid tissue healing in testing.

 

Why are they so special?

Because SMS cells are better in EVERY way than current alternatives.

Non-Immunogenic Anti-inflammatory Multi-targeting Small and fast Easy to administer

How much better?

Mainstream stem cells need to be used within 72hrs to get maximum benefit. SMS cells maintain almost 100% potency at 30 days. This allows them to be transported and stored more efficiently with greater therapeutic effect.

Lifespan & Viability at Standard Refrigeration 2-8°C

All of these advantages make SMS cells far superior to currently available options.

Creating a path to CURE

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

There are 400M active COPD patients worldwide with approximately 3M deaths per year. It was thought to be incurable or irreversible UNTIL NOW.

We are the only technology able to achieve this as no other cells are hearty enough to survive.

Regeneration
Stimulates REGENERATION

SMS cells stimulate growth in lung cells, blood vessel formation, and can regenerate the air sacs.

Recovery
Complete RECOVERY

In our animal studies we saw animal lungs make a complete recovery.

SMS cells DO what NO OTHER treatment can.

Which is why we built a platform.

Our platform is actively producing cell treatments in the areas of COPD and Orthopedics. These treatments are currently limited to use in research and ongoing clinical trials on paths to global commercialization.

The Future - Ramping Up Production

We are already producing SMS cells and currently have $8M worth of inventory. This year we are adding the first of many planned new manufacturing facilities.

Lab facility
 

Each new facility will allow us to:

Efficiency icon
More Efficiently Produce Cells

Each new facility will allow us to greatly increase production of cells at more efficient cost.

Revenue icon
Generate up to $25M/yr in Revenue per Facility

Every new facility will have modest operating costs that allow us to sell treatments at an estimated 80% + margin.

Demand icon
Get Ahead of Increased Demand

We anticipate increased demand from compassionate use applications, so our ability to produce and store SMS cells now ensures we can meet that demand.

These expansions will allow us to serve a huge global market.

Dr. Rahmo Showcases SMSbiotech’s Breakthrough Cell Therapy at Biotech Global Summit.

SMSbiotech is proud to announce that President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Abdulkader Rahmo, presented our pioneering research at the Annual Global Summit on Public Health and Healthcare Systems (AGSPHHCS 2025). The conference took place in Bern, Switzerland, with Dr. Rahmo delivering his presentation virtually on September 19, 2025.

His talk, titled “Small Mobile Stem (SMS) Cells Potential Contribution to Treatments of Chronic Diseases” highlighted how SMSbiotech’s proprietary SMS cell platform addresses major limitations of conventional cell therapy and holds the potential to transform regenerative medicine.

Key Takeaways Included:

  • Industrial-Scale Production – SMS cells can be expanded extensively (over 27 passages) while maintaining potency and functionality.
  • Targeted Action – SMS cells exhibit a high binding affinity for repair-related target cells, supporting more precise and consistent clinical outcomes.
  • A Paradigm Shift – These breakthroughs pave the way for scalable, stable, and potent “off-the-shelf” (allogeneic) therapies designed for broad clinical application.

This platform is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)—a debilitating condition with no known cure.

We are honored to share this milestone with the global health community and remain deeply grateful for your continued support.

Milestone Achievement – First COPD Patient Dosed in Phase 1 Trial

We are pleased to share a historic milestone in regenerative medicine. On July 11, 2025, at Veritus Research in Melbourne, Australia, we administered the first dose of our Small Mobile Stem (SMS) cell therapy to a patient in our Phase 1 human clinical trial for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

This marks the first time our groundbreaking regenerative therapy has been delivered to a human patient—transitioning years of research into clinical reality.

About the Trial

  • Title: A study to investigate Small Mobile Stem Cells (SMS cells) in participants aged 39–69 years with COPD
  • Participants: 18 patients
  • Objective: Evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy
  • Delivery Method: Simple nebulizer for direct lung delivery
  • Duration: Approximately 15 months

Our SMS cells are bio-manufactured at SMSbiotech and are designed to regenerate damaged lungs and other tissues. Preclinical studies have shown the potential to restore healthy lung function in animals in as little as 10 days.

Regulatory Approval

The trial is authorized by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Australia’s regulatory body, comparable to the U.S. FDA.

A Message from Our President

“This is a profound moment for SMSbiotech and for millions living with COPD. We are optimistic about the potential of our therapy to fundamentally change the course of this disease.”
Dr. Abdulkader Rahmo, President of SMSbiotech

This milestone strengthens our position in the global regenerative medicine market and supports our long-term strategy to deliver shareholder value through the development of innovative therapies. SMSbiotech will be increasing the dollar value of the stock price based on this crucial milestone.

We believe this achievement will generate heightened interest in SMSbiotech from both the scientific and investment communities.

We are also exploring applications for compassionate use once safety data becomes available, and evaluating potential indications in orthopedics based on very promising animal and in vitro studies.
