Enhancement of Bone Regeneration and Healing in the Extremities by the Use of Autologous BonoFill-II

Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Bone Fracture
• Interventions: Biological: BonoFill-II

• Registration Number: NCT03024008
• Lead Sponsor: BonusBio Group Ltd

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of BonoFill-II as an autologous bone-regenerating graft in the reconstruction of deficient bone in two clinical indications:

1. Long and short bone extra-articular comminuted fracture

2. Long and short bones extra and intra articular defect /Gap or non-union, incapable of self-regeneration

Detailed Description

Primary Endpoint:

Safety: to establish that the transplantation of BonoFill-II into bone defect/gap is safe under the following conditions:

* No treatment-related appearance of heterotrophic bone ossification

* No excessive bone formation at the transplantation sites

* No abnormalities in the treated sites

Efficacy: to establish that the transplantation of BonoFill-II into bone defect/gap is effective under the following conditions:

Bone continuity rate, measured radiographically by CT at 6 and 12 months.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention Arm	BonoFill-II	Clinical Interventions: 1. Blood tests: complete blood count, full blood chemistry and biochemistry including phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, renal and liver function, and coagulation. Serology tests: HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C. 2. Xray 3. Urine Test 4. CT 5. Liposuction - harvest of 50-300ml autologous adipose tissue from the subject's abdomen 6. Single transplantation of Investigational Medicinal Product BonoFill-II into long bone extra-articular comminuted fracture or large bone defect/critical gap

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary safety endpoint: Absence of treatment-emergent appearance of safety issues	Throughout the post-intervention 12-month follow-up	Subjects demonstrating no appearance of heterotrophic bone ossification, excessive bone formation and/or any abnormalities in the treated site, in the proximal or distal joint by visual examination of the transplantation site and by X-ray and/or CT.
Efficacy endpoint: Bone continuity	Starting 4-week follow-up and through to the end of the 12-month follow-up	Bone union, as assessed by X-ray and CT. CT scans are performed 6 and 12 months post operation, to verify bone regeneration and complete bone continuity was achieved.
Functional efficacy endpoint: Weight bearing ability	The test is performed at 3, 6 and 12 months post operation.	clinical examination of weight bearing ability for lower extremities or coffee-cup weight bearing ability for upper extremities. The physician assesses the functionality of the operated limb, by testing the patients ability to bear their weight when standing (in case of lower limb bone defect) or by coffee cup holding simulation (in case of upper limb bone defect).
