Here are five takeaways.
1. IDCT is a regenerative solution designed for treating mild to moderate degenerative disc disease.
2. The two preclinical studies examined the safety and bioactivity of Discogenic Cells, which are the active ingredient in IDCT. Discogenic Cells are derived from intervertebral disc tissue.
3. The studies implanted the Discogenic Cells in subcutaneous pouches of athymic mice and rabbit disc models.
4. Researchers found Discogenic Cells are safe and non-tumor forming as well as are able to generate intervertebral-like tissue. Additionally, the implantation improved disc height and normalized tissue architecture.
5. The company presented its findings at the Orthopedic Research Society 2018 Annual Meeting, held March 10 to March 13 in New Orleans.
