CelGro® reaches 300-case milestone under Special Access Scheme
-
Over 300 patients treated with CelGro[®] under Special Access Scheme (SAS) approvals
-
Approvals were granted by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for use of CelGro[®] in nerve, tendon, cartilage and dental maxillofacial bone repair
-
The SAS provides surgeons and patients access to therapeutic goods with significant advantages over existing products prior to regulatory approval
-
SAS product use provides real-world evidence for the safety and efficacy of CelGro[®] , further validating data collected in clinical trials
Perth, Australia; 14[th] September 2020: Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited (ASX:OCC, “Orthocell” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has treated 300 patients via the TGA’s Special Access Scheme (SAS) for its collagen medical device CelGro[®] . Under SAS approval, doctors can prescribe use of therapeutic goods prior to regulatory approval if they can justify that the product has significant advantages for their patient over existing approved products or where there are no approved products currently available.
Orthocell Managing Director, Paul Anderson, said: “ This is an important milestone demonstrating Key Opinion Leaders’ (KOLs) continued uptake and use of CelGro[®] via the SAS. The data collected from these CelGro[® ] cases provides important real-world evidence adding to the effectiveness established in clinical studies as we prepare for first AUS and US approval.”
A patient’s perspective
Adrian is one of the patients treated with CelGro[®] . A catastrophic mountain bike accident in 2017 left Adrian with fractured vertebrae in his neck, resulting in life-changing tetraplegia. Adrian had some movement in his elbows and upper arms, but his hands, torso, and legs were paralysed and he didn’t have enough strength to use a wheelchair on his own. Adrian’s complex and challenging surgery involved CelGro[®] nerve transfer surgery to return function to target muscles. Adrian’s recovery has been impressive. Hear Adrian and his surgeon talk about their experiences, the nerve transfer procedure and his recovery here.

Real-world evidence for CelGro[®]
Real-world evidence, as compared to evidence from a clinical trial, is increasingly recognised as a valuable source of data to demonstrate performance and safety of a medicine or medical device. Patients in a clinical trial are carefully selected to ensure that outcomes of the trial are comparable across the group, but real-world evidence represents the every-day use of the product in a much

wider patient population. Orthocell is continuing to collect real-world evidence for CelGro[®] in diverse clinical applications, such as nerve, tendon, cartilage and dental maxillofacial bone repair. This data, in combination with our clinical trial data, shows that CelGro[®] is safe and effective.
