CANTON, Mass., Nov. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organogenesis Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ORGO), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of product solutions for the Advanced Wound Care and Surgical and Sports Medicine markets, today announced the favorable outcome of the interim analysis of its second Phase 3 randomized control trial of ReNu, a cryopreserved amniotic suspension allograft (ASA), for the management of symptoms associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

“We have passed another critical milestone in the ReNu development program,” said Patrick Bilbo, Chief Operating Officer of Organogenesis. “We are pleased with the outcome of the interim analysis which indicates the study is in the favorable zone and consistent with the assumptions for the statistical plan and efficacy expectations.”
The fully enrolled 594 patient Phase 3 trial is a prospective, double-blind, multicenter, saline-controlled, parallel group, randomized control trial (RCT) of ReNu ASA, for the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe symptomatic knee OA. Patients were randomized to receive a single intra-articular (IA) injection of either saline control or ReNu. The primary endpoint is the reduction in knee pain assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scale performed on subjects treated with ReNu or saline.
“We are pleased with the progression of this second Phase 3 clinical trial,” said Adam B. Yanke, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Orthopedics and Vice Chair of Research at Rush University Medical Center, and Co-Principal Investigator of the trial. “Based on our progress to date, we are encouraged that the results of this study, when complete, will further strengthen the clinical evidence supporting ReNu as a safe and effective non-surgical treatment option for patients suffering from knee OA pain.”
Knee OA is a degenerative joint disease that is estimated to affect nearly 31.1 million Americans and projected to grow to 34.4 million Americans by 2027. It is ranked among the most common causes of disability and poor quality of life, generally characterized by pain and functionality deficits. End stage management of the disease in these patients is typically a total knee replacement when all other treatment options are exhausted.
