Cell Therapy by Bone Marrow-derived Mononuclear Cells (BMC) for Large Bone Defect Repair: Phase-I Clinical Trial

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Humerus Fracture Displaced Proximal

• Registration Number: NCT02153372
• Lead Sponsor: Goethe University

Brief Summary

In the present phase-I clinical trial we investigate safety and feasibility of an augmentation with preoperatively isolated autologous BMC cells seeded onto ß-TCP in combination with an angle stable fixation (Philos plate®) for the therapy of proximal humeral fractures.
