Enrico Bastianelli, CEO of Bone Therapeutics commented: “2015 has been a year of growth and progress for Bone Therapeutics and we ended the year poised for the next stage in our journey towards bringing our new unique bone cell therapies to market.
“We have made significant progress advancing our clinical pipeline, reporting key safety and efficacy data from the Phase II trials of our allogeneic bone cell therapy product ALLOB® and good progress in the ongoing Phase III programs of our autologous product, PREOB®. We also expanded our activities in spine medicine, an area of significant unmet need, with the initiation of a new trial for the minimally-invasive treatment of failed spinal fusions.
“In 2016, we expect more key clinical data including important efficacy results from the delayed-union and spinal fusion studies with ALLOB® , and plan to complete recruitment for the spinal fusion study in the first half of this year. It is also our goal to initiate our first clinical trial in the US by the end of the year.”
