MDBiologix and Dr. Grant Pagdin of Pagdin Health are pleased to share an important video update on the status of the first-of-it's-kind Health Canada clinical trial investigating the use the portfolio products lipoaspirate (AdiPrep), bone marrow aspirate (Marrow Cellutions), and platelet-rich plasma (Harvest PRP) in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
On Cell Viability, "Cell viability is excellent, and the numbers of the mesenchymal stem cells that come out of a typical sample of bone marrow would be about 100,000 cells per CC. Whereas the number of mesenchymal stem cells coming out of fat is about 4 to 5 times that much, 400,000 to 600,000 mesenchymal stem cells per CC from our fat samples. So we're getting excellent numbers of stem cells and excellent cell viability."
On Efficacy, "We followed about 60 of our patients out to between 6 to 12 months now of follow up, and at least 75% of these are reporting substantial improvements in pain and function, and these would be of a clinically meaningful amount." said Dr. Grant Pagdin, lead investigator.
Dr. Grant Pagdin expects this research project to be complete in the fall of 2026.
