    Sara Nik's questions to LISATA THERAPEUTICS (LSTA) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Sara Nik of H.C. Wainwright & Co. inquired about the implications of reducing the enrollment target for the second-line cholangiocarcinoma cohort in the BOLSTER trial, questioning its potential impact on the regulatory pathway and data requirements.

    Answer

    President and CEO Dr. David Mazzo clarified that as a Phase IIa proof-of-concept study, the BOLSTER trial aims to identify trends rather than meet a specific endpoint. He stated that 20 patients are sufficient for this purpose, and the decision to cap enrollment accelerates data availability for both trial arms and conserves capital in a challenging financial environment.
