E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of single administration of ALLOB® into minimum 2 and maximum 4 delayed-union fracture sites affecting long bones, with a maximal dose of 200 million ALLOB® cells.
Safety: Subjects will be systematically assessed for the potential occurrence of any AE or SAE, related to the product or related to the procedure, using patient open questionnaires, physical examination (vital signs), and laboratory measurements.
Efficacy: The success will be based on the percentage of treated fractures and patients (ALLOB®) not failing under treatment. A patient will be considered as failed under a treatment if, at the end of the study period (Month 6) the pain at palpation (VAS) performed by the physician but assessed by the patient has not improved by at least 25% on at least 2 of possible 4 targeted sites and the TUS as assessed by CT scan has not increased by at least 2 points (versus baseline) on at least 2 of the possible 4 targeted sites. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The efficacy of ALLOB® will be assessed over time versus baseline in terms of efficacy using:
- Global Disease Evaluation as perceived by the physician (at 6 Months and over time) and by the patient (over time) using a Visual Analogue Scale
- Pain using a visual analogue scale (at rest and during activities ) (at 6 Months and over time)
- Weight-bearing using a Likert Scale (at 6 Months and over time)
- Quantitative radiological changes using the mRUS as assessed by X-ray (at 6 Months and over time)
-Assessment of biomarkers
-Evolution from baseline to each time point of the TUS and/or mRUS score(s) of untreated fractured neigbouring bones (e.g., fibula left untretaed when the tibia is the target bone of the study) as assessed by CT scan and/or X-ray |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Safety Endpoints:
In addition to standard pharmacovigilance requirements, particular attention will be given to AE suggesting immune-mediated reactions, such as: general discomfort, uneasiness, ill feeling, pain or swelling in the implanted area, fever and any inflammatory reactions, flu-like symptoms (e.g., chills, body aches, shortness of breath…).
Efficacy Endpoints:
A patient will be considered as failed under treatment if, at Month 6, the pain at palpation (performed by the physician and assessed by the patient) score as perceived by the patient has not improved by at least 25% on at least 2 of possible 4 targeted sites and the TUS as assessed by CT scan has not increased by at least two points for at least two of the maximum four targeted fracture sites. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Clinical Efficacy and safety variables will be determined at each scheduled visit over the 6-month study period (at 2 weeks, 1, 3 and 6 months). Radiological variable will be based on X-Ray performed at screening, 3 and 6 months. CT scan will be performed only at screening and month 6. A safety follow up at (6), 12 and 24 months after the end of the study follow-up will also be conducted by phone call, the data of which will be reported as Annexes and Supplementary Data to the final CSR.
