LADERA RANCH, Calif., April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Biologics announced today that they will be presenting expanded data at the American Academy of Neurosurgeons (AANS) meeting this week in New Orleans, LA showcasing a clinical study demonstrating superior lumbar fusion rates for OsteoAMP® when compared to rhBMP-2 (Infuse®, Medtronic). In a blinded, multi-center clinical and radiological study, fusion analysis showed superiority for OsteoAMP® in producing fusions when compared to rhBMP-2. Fusions (TLIF/LLIF) were assessed by a blinded independent radiologist at various time points (3months, 6months, 12months and 18 months) for both OsteoAMP and rhBMP-2. Analysis showed statistically significant superiority for OsteoAMP at all time points (p<0.02). In addition, the study revealed that patients in the rhBMP-2 had >80% the rate of radiologically-evident adverse events than OsteoAMP. The study now represents 247 patients and has been submitted for further peer review.
“OsteoAMP® remains to be the only orthobiologic on the market with pivotal head-to-head clinical data showing superiority achieving fusion against Medtronic’s Infuse®,” stated President, Amit Govil. “The clinical data further substantiates OsteoAMP as a viable option for surgeons, hospitals and patients searching for a more cost-effective and safer option to rhBMP-2. We are currently enrolling patients in additional clinical trials to further validate our technology.”
OsteoAMP® is an award-winning allogeneic growth factor that is a lower-cost alternative to recombinant growth factors, such as rhBMP-2 (Infuse®, Medtronic). Additionally, OsteoAMP®'s four distinctive formats (granules, compressible sponges, putty, and structural grafts) provide a distinct advantage by allowing surgeons to tailor deliver the technology according to their needs in surgery.
