Published Regenexx Research, Involving Stem Cells And Platelets, Shows Promise For Treating Osteoarthritis Of The Knee

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Dec, 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — New research from Regenexx®, which provides advanced interventional orthobiologics, shows greater potential for treating osteoarthritis of the knee with cell-based therapies. The study, published on December 13, 2018, in the Journal of Translational Medicine, was a randomized controlled trial of patients’ own bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and platelet-rich plasma products versus an exercise therapy regimen for patients with moderate knee osteoarthritis, with clinical outcomes documented over a two-year period.

The study included 48 patients, with 22 in the control group (exercise) and 26 receiving the treatment of bone marrow concentrate (which contains mesenchymal stem cells, platelets, and other cells with healing and regeneration potential) and platelet-rich plasma. All patients in the control group crossed over to the BMC treatment group at three months.

Patients who received the BMC treatment improved significantly in activity levels and stability at three months over those who followed the exercise therapy program. Over the two-year period, after receiving the BMC treatment, significant reduction in pain and increased functionality were maintained.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial comparing patients’ own bone marrow concentrate and therapeutic exercise for knee osteoarthritis,” said Christopher Centeno, M.D., lead researcher on the study. “While exercise therapy alleviated osteoarthritis symptoms and improved function, the specific BMC protocol, while warranting further investigation, had a greater positive impact on the patients.”

Osteoarthritis, one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain, affects more than 50 million adults in the United States. Annual costs due to medical expenses and lost wages exceed $100 billion. Current treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are not curative and are associated with side effects; corticosteroid injections, which demonstrate only modest clinical benefits; aquatic therapies, which provide short-term benefits; and physical therapy.

While exercise or physical therapy has been shown to improve function and reduce pain, this study showed cell-based therapy to be more effective.

About MagnetOs
MagnetOs promotes local bone formation equivalent to current gold standard, autograft. A substantial number of clinically relevant and predictive studies have demonstrated its equivalence to the current gold standard (patient’s own bone, which may not be available in sufficient quantities and/or involves morbidity, costs and pain associated with its harvesting from another healthy site of the patient’s body). MagnetOs is a bone graft comprising biphasic calcium phosphate with an advanced submicron surface topography that directs bone formation after implantation. With its unique submicron surface topography, MagnetOs preferentially directs early wound healing toward the bone-forming pathway, resulting in an osteoinductive claim in Europe. MagnetOs is available as granules and as a putty formulation.

US indications statement
MagnetOs is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system, i.e., posterolateral spine. MagnetOs must be used with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine. These osseous defects may be surgically created or the result of traumatic injury to the bone and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.

EU indications statement
MagnetOs is intended for use as bone void filler for voids and gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. MagnetOs is indicated for use in the treatment of surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. MagnetOs is intended to be packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. extremities, spine, cranial, mandible, maxilla and pelvis) and may be combined with autogenous bone. MagnetOs should not be used to treat large defects that in the surgeon’s opinion would fail to heal spontaneously. In load bearing situations, MagnetOs is to be used in conjunction with internal or external fixation devices.

DiscGenics Receives Approval from Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency to Begin Clinical Evaluation of Non-Surgical Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment in Japan

Kuros Reports Publication of MagnetOs Data Demonstrating Equivalence to Autologous Bone in Spinal Fusion

SCHLIEREN (ZURICH), Switzerland, Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kuros Biosciences (SIX: KURN) today announced the publication of data from a clinically-relevant preclinical model comparing MagnetOs with autologous bone in instrumented posterolateral spinal fusion in sheep. Utilizing multiple assessments for fusion, the study concluded that MagnetOs is a suitable alternative to autograft when used as a standalone graft.

The publication, which is entitled “Biphasic calcium phosphate with submicron surface topography in an Ovine model of instrumented posterolateral spinal fusion” was included in the December issue JOR Spine, an open-access Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS)journal.

Joost de Bruijn, Chief Executive Officer of Kuros, said: “This latest study demonstrates early bone healing and physiologically-appropriate graft resorption for MagnetOs in this clinically-relevant model of posterolateral spinal fusion and adds to the growing body of evidence proving that MagnetOs is a reliable alternative to autologous bone graft.”

Professor Bill Walsh, University of New South Wales, Australia, who was principal investigator of the study said: “I’ve investigated many of the leading synthetic bone grafts in this model and, in my experience, MagnetOs leads to the most compelling fusion outcomes of all the grafts I’ve tested.”

About the study
MagnetOs Granules and MagnetOs Putty were implanted standalone and compared to autograft bone. Twenty-five adult, female Merino sheep underwent posterolateral spinal fusion at L2-3 and L4-5 levels with instrumentation. After 6, 12, and 26 weeks, outcomes were evaluated by manual palpation, range of motion testing, micro-computed tomography, histology and histomorphometry. Fusion assessment by manual palpation 12 weeks after implantation revealed 100% fusion rates in all treatment groups. Similarly, the three treatment groups showed a statistically significant decrease in lateral bending at the fusion levels at 12 weeks and 26 weeks compared to the 6-week time-point, which further confirmed spinal fusion. No significant differences in range of motion were observed between the treatment groups at any of the time-points investigated. Histological assessment at 12 weeks showed fusion rates of 75%, 92%, and 83% for autograft, MagnetOs Granules and MagnetOs Putty, respectively. The fusion rates were further increased 26 weeks post-implantation. Similar trends of bone growth were observed by histomorphometry.

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regentis Biomaterials today announced that Twin Cities-based TRIA Orthopedics is the first in Minnesota to perform a procedure using the GelrinC™ implant to treat damaged articular cartilage causing knee pain. GelrinC (pronounced “gel-rin-cee”) is an investigational device being evaluated as a treatment to help the body regrow cartilage in the knee. TRIA is the only site in Minnesota – and just one of 17 sites nationwide – enrolling patients with knee pain caused by damaged knee cartilage in the SAGE clinical trial.

Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue covering the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. Damage to the cartilage layer can be extremely painful for patients and is generally associated with sudden trauma. Surgical intervention is often required because of the limited capacity for cartilage to repair itself. The current standard of care is a procedure called microfracture, which involves making tiny holes in the bone underneath the damaged cartilage to stimulate the growth of new cartilage. However, the cartilage is more like scar tissue than the original hyaline cartilage; as a result, microfracture often provides only short-term relief and may require repeat surgeries.

“There are limited options for patients who continue to experience knee pain caused by damage to their articular cartilage,” said Dr. Brad Nelson, orthopedic surgeon. “The hope is that GelrinC, which requires only a single minimally invasive procedure, will promote repair of the cartilage and alleviate pain.”

People 18-50 years old with pain in one knee caused by damaged articular cartilage can inquire about the study by visiting www.MyKneeStudy.com or by calling (833) 430-8686.

About GelrinC™

In the U.S., GelrinC™ from Regentis Biomaterials is an investigational device for patients with articular cartilage damage in their knee. GelrinC’s unique mode of action allows it to be implanted as a liquid so that it completely fills the cartilage defect in the knee, and then be cured into a gel that enables the body’s own stem cells to settle on its surface. Six to 12 months after surgery, the GelrinC is gradually resorbed by the body and replaced by new cartilage tissue. Preliminary clinical trials in Europe have indicated that this regenerated tissue provides excellent improvement in pain and function. To learn more about GelrinC, please visit www.GelrinC.com.

About the SAGE Clinical Trial

The SAGE study is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical study comparing GelrinC to microfracture, the current standard of care treatment for damaged knee cartilage. The multi-center Phase III pivotal study will enroll 120 patients. All patients who meet study requirements and agree to enter the trial are provided GelrinC as treatment.
