Announcement
Celularity Inc. announced the publication of its Phase 2 study titled "Human Placenta-Derived Cells (PDA-002) in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients With and Without Peripheral Artery Disease: A Phase 2 Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial," in the International Wound Journal.
AI Summary
Celularity Inc. announced the publication of its Phase 2 study of PDA-002 in diabetic foot ulcer patients with and without peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the International Wound Journal. This trial tested the safety and effectiveness of PDA-002, a placenta-derived cell therapy, in complex wounds among diabetic patients.
The study enrolled 159 adults across 35 U.S. sites. Participants received two intramuscular doses of PDA-002 at three dose levels or placebo. The main goal was complete wound closure within three months with healing lasting at least four more weeks. In PAD patients, the lowest dose (3 × 10^6 cells) achieved a 38.5% closure rate versus 22.6% with placebo. Treated patients healed faster, had fewer cases of gangrene and infections, and had no serious side effects over two years. These findings support further trials to confirm PDA-002 as a novel regenerative therapy for hard-to-treat diabetic ulcers.
