 About ALLOB®
ALLOB® is a first-in-class allogeneic osteoblastic cell product with regenerative properties, developed for the treatment of bone diseases. "Allogeneic" means that the cells are harvested from a healthy, universal donor, as opposed to “autologous” where the cells come from the patient him/herself. ALLOB® is currently tested in two Phase I/IIa clinical trials for the treatment of delayed-union fractures and lumbar fusion for degenerative disease of the spine. ALLOB® has been classified as a tissue engineered product under the ATMP regulation 1394/2007EMA.
About Delayed-Union fractures
A delayed-union fracture is defined as a bone that has not healed within the expected normal period of time after the initial injury (i.e., 3 to 4 months) and is at risk of non-healing. Traditional options for the treatment of an impaired fracture (i.e., bone graft) typically involve highly invasive surgery, which can be painful and require months of rehabilitation with the risk of serious complications (such as deep bone infection). Due to the risks of the current treatment, orthopaedic surgeons often take a “wait and see” approach to the treatment of delayed-union fractures, sometimes for several months, which delays the patient’s return to a normal life and leads to a significant financial burden to society. ALLOB® has the potential to become a first-line and early treatment for delayed-union fractures, thanks to its minimally invasive administration which avoids the need for major surgery.
About Bone Therapeutics
Bone Therapeutics is a leading biotechnology company specializing in the development of innovative regenerative therapies for the repair and prevention of bone fractures. The current standard of care in this field involves major surgeries and long recovery periods. To overcome these problems, Bone Therapeutics is developing a range of innovative products containing regenerative osteoblastic/bone-forming cells, administrable via a minimally invasive percutaneous technique; a unique proposition in the market.
PREOB®, Bone Therapeutics’ autologous cell product, is currently in pivotal Phase III clinical studies for two indications: osteonecrosis and non-union fractures, and in Phase II for severe osteoporosis. ALLOB®, its allogeneic cell product, is in Phase II for the treatment of delayed-union fractures and lumbar fusion for degenerative disease of the spine. The Company also runs preclinical research programs and develops novel product candidates.
Founded in 2006, Bone Therapeutics is headquartered in Gosselies (South of Brussels, Belgium). Bone Therapeutics’ regenerative products are manufactured to the highest GMP standards and are protected by a rich IP estate covering 9 patent families.
