Belgium-based Bone Therapeutics, a bone cell therapy company, has recruited four more patients for its ALLOB Phase IIA spinal fusion trial.
Here are five notes:
1. The pilot Phase IIA study for ALLOB requires 16 patients with symptomatic degenerative lumbar disc disease who need interbody fusion surgery.
2. ALLOB is intended to quicken the fusion process and decrease the failure rate of surgeries.
3. ALLOB, along with bioceramic granules, supplements an interbody cage.
4. The trial is underway in eight Belgium centers, in which eight patients have already undergone the procedure without any safety complications.
5. Bone Therapeutics is also conducting a study with ALLOB for treating failed spinal fusions, which will be the first minimally invasive revision spinal surgery using a bone cell therapy product.
