Disease Modifying Status Targeted As Kolon's Novel OA Therapy Enters US Phase III

With the removal of an FDA clinical hold, Kolon TissueGene is set to begin a US Phase III trial for Invossa, its first-in-class cell and gene therapy, for osteoarthritis of the knee. The planned study, which is larger and longer than the product's Korean Phase III program, will be under the spotlight as it will determine whether Invossa can be designated as the world's first disease-modifying drug in osteoarthritis, and is being designed accordingly.
