Study Detail: NeoCart Study

Principal Investigator: Brad Nelson, MD

The problem: Articular cartilage, the end caps of knee joint bones, are prone to degeneration and arthritis.

Innovation: NeoCart takes a patient's healthy cartilage and places it onto a 3D matrix, or structure, to regenerate new cartilage, and is implanted back into the damaged cartilage area.

Enrollment: Closed; waiting for initiation of Phase III. We anticipate enrollment into Phase III of this study will begin in early 2010.
