Pre-clinical in meniscus repair officially begins. ChitogenX announced the second orthopedic indication for ORTHO-R is moving from feasibility studies to formal pre-clinical status, beginning November 2022. Meniscus repair is needed due to acute trauma tears and degenerative tears, but surgical failure rates are currently in the 20%-40% range, offering substantial opportunity for ChitogenX’s platform technology to improve healing outcomes.
Meniscus repair program will test 22 sheep. The sheep will be tested with sutures alone (current standard of care) vs. platelet rich plasma (PRP) alone vs. PRP delivered by ORTHO-R biopolymer. Repair surgeries are scheduled beginning mid-November and should be completed by first of December. Results are expected approximately in 12 months in fall of 2023.
