| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
ZEO has recently partnered with Physicians Group, LLC (“Physicians Group”), a multi-state provider organization that together with its affiliated entities operates 75 clinics and employees over 750 clinical personnel treating between 1500 – 2000 patients per month many of whom seek care for musculoskeletal conditions.
ZEO and Physicians Group intend to collaborate on future clinical trials that will focus on certain health indications commonly seen by Physicians Group’s doctors whereby ZEO’s products demonstrate greater therapeutic benefit than currently-available treatments.
“This partnership marks a pivotal moment for us,” reflected Ian Bothwell, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at ZEO ScientifiX. “With Physicians Group’s support, we can take advantage of both our companies’ strengths. Physicians Group’s large network of doctors and its diverse patient population significantly increase the number of opportunities to advance our research objectives and provide our therapeutics to patients who may benefit. In addition, our partnership gives us access to highly informed and experienced clinicians as well as potentially qualified subjects for enrollment in ZEO’s planned clinical trials.”
ZEO’s research and development (R&D) product pipeline reflects the Company’s commitment to innovation and its mission to advance the use of biologic therapies to address the unmet needs of patients facing acute and chronic conditions in multiple areas.
ZEO recently completed successful Phase 1 clinical trials involving its flagship proprietary product, Zofin™. Now, the Company is actively seeking to launch Phase 2 trials of Zofin™ for several indications, along with clinical trials for other products in the Company’s pipeline. ZEO’s goal is to obtain FDA approval for the use of its products for the treatment of various diseases and chronic conditions.
Founded in Florida more than 25 years ago, today, Physicians Group operates nationally and has treated more than 150,000 patients earning a reputation for excellence in the treatment of neck, back, and extremity injuries.
“There are many reasons why ZEO ScientifiX was the right company for our partnership,” reflected Rob Adams, Chief Executive Officer at Physicians Group. “We have been extremely impressed by ZEO’s facilities, management team and strong commitment to research and science. Moreover, this partnership will offer our clinical team the opportunity to access leading-edge therapeutics to support the treatment of our patients.” According to Precedence Research, the regenerative medicine space is expected to grow to a nearly $175 billion market by 2032, with a projected growth rate of 22.8% annually.
