| (a) | Organization and Description of Business
BioCardia, Inc. (we, us, our, BioCardia or the Company), is a clinical-stage company focused on developing cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases with significant unmet medical needs. We are advancing two cell therapy platforms derived from bone marrow in clinical trials today. Our CardiAMP® autologous mononuclear cell therapy platform is being advanced for two clinical indications: ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and refractory angina resulting from chronic myocardial ischemia (CMI). Our allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy platform is being advanced as an “off the shelf” cell therapy for two clinical indications: the treatment of ischemic HFrEF and for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Our autologous and our allogeneic cell therapies intended for cardiac indications of HFrEF and CMI are enabled by our Helix™ minimally invasive intramyocardial therapeutic delivery platform. We partner this therapeutic delivery platform selectively with others seeking to develop biotherapeutic interventions for local delivery to the heart. To date, we have devoted substantially all our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates and biotherapeutic delivery systems including conducting clinical trials, developing manufacturing and sales capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property. We manage our operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.
