Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited (ASX:OCC,
“Orthocell” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
commenced treatment of its 1,000th patient, in its TGA licensed
manufacturing facility using the Company’s proprietary tissue
engineering process, developed in conjunction with Professor
Minghao Zheng and the University of Western Australia. This marks a
significant milestone in the Company’s history as it continues to
clinically validate its market leading regenerative medicine
technologies and drive entry into the US, the world’s largest
healthcare market.
Orthocell’s Managing Director Paul Anderson commented:
“This is a significant milestone in the development of Orthocell’s
cell therapies, providing strong clinical data and in-market
validation of the safety and effectiveness of our technologies for
the repair and regeneration of soft tissue. This achievement is
expected to support ongoing global commercialisation efforts.”
Orthocell’s Ortho-ATI® and Ortho-ACI® for tendon and cartilage
repair are breakthrough technologies addressing the underlying
pathology of tendon and cartilage injuries. The treatments
accelerate the regeneration of injured tendons and cartilage and
allows patients to return to recreational activities, the workplace
and competitive sports. Christian Sprenger, a former Australian
Olympic swimmer, who sustained a severe shoulder injury in 2014,
was only able to compete at an elite level again after receiving
Orthocell’s Ortho-ATI® treatment.
“I am 100% happy with the Ortho-ATI® treatment, it’s the only
thing that enabled me to get back to doing normal daily activities.
It definitely helped me, I can do everything now that I want to do
with full function and without pain. Following Ortho-ATI®, I was
able to return to swimming at an international level,” said
Christian Sprenger.
Orthocell’s published clinical data and annual patient
satisfaction surveys conducted to date have shown reduction in
symptoms, return to function and high levels of patient
satisfaction. Orthocell’s cell therapies for tendon and cartilage
repair are available in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and
Singapore.
About Ortho-ATI®:
Ortho-ATI® is a world leading breakthrough in regenerative
medicine – a novel, cell therapy developed to treat chronic
degenerative tendon injuries (tendinopathy / tendonitis), it can be
utilised in both surgical and non-surgical applications.
- Tendon injury and its end point,
tendinopathy, are a common cause of occupational and sporting
disability reported to affect 1% to 3% of the general population
every year
- Significant financial burden to the
public health care system expected to increase as the population
ages, as a result, new treatments are required that are safe,
effective and cost efficient
- Ortho-ATI® meets the market need by
enabling the accelerated regeneration of injured tendons, directly
addressing the underlying cause of injury, replenishing
degenerative tissue with healthy mature tendon cells (known as
tenocytes)
- Extensive clinical validation with
published clinical data up to 4.5 years post treatment in leading
peer reviewed journals, (e.g. American Journal Sports Medicine)
clearly demonstrating durability and efficacy as the leading tendon
regeneration treatment
About Ortho-ACI®:
Ortho-ACI® is the gold standard intervention for symptomatic
defects of the articulating cartilage of the joints, predominately
the knee and ankle.
- Damage to articular cartilage can
occur through injury or normal wear and tear affecting activities
of daily living and exercise. These defects present a difficult
clinical problem and if left untreated can lead to
osteoarthritis
- Ortho-ACI® provides the opportunity for
the body to regenerate its own cartilage and provides a functional
and durable outcome
- Ortho-ACI® is positioned as the highest
quality cartilage repair product available today with superior cost
effectiveness when compared to alternatives
- Extensive clinical validation in peer
reviewed journals supporting autologous cell therapies for
cartilage repair
