Anika Therapeutics, Inc. announced plans to showcase HYALOFAST, a biodegradable, HA-based cartilage repair scaffold, at the 2019 International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) Summit. The 2019 ICRS Summit, which will be focused on Bio-Orthopaedics in Sports Medicine, will be held in San Diego, CA at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay on January 17-18, 2019. At the 2019 ICRS Summit, Dr. Alberto Gobbi, specialist in arthroscopic surgery, cartilage repair and regenerative medicine, will present findings from a 10-year follow-up study of patients treated with HYALOFAST HA scaffold with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) in a one-step surgery. The session will also provide a comparative review of HYALOFAST in comparison to ACI (Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation) and MACI (Matrix Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation), two-step surgeries requiring cell cultivation. HYALOFAST is a non-woven, single-step, off-the-shelf, biodegradable HA-based scaffold for hyaline-like cartilage regeneration to treat cartilage injuries and defects. HYALOFAST is commercially available in approximately 15 countries and has been used to successfully treat more than 15,000 patients internationally, with strong ten-year patient follow-up data. HYALOFAST is pending regulatory submission in the United States following its FastTRACK Phase III trial which is currently enrolling patients across the U.S. and Europe.
