Crescent Innovations announced the sale of its technology related to bone regeneration, plus various intellectual property and know-how assets.
The ability to grow bone at a site-specific location, in a minimally invasive manner, would have a profound impact on the health and quality of life for up to 50 million Americans who suffer bone defects and diseases. These diseases include post-craniotomy resorption, periodontal disease, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis and aseptic osteolysis. Together, these diseases cost the United States Healthcare System in excess of $124 billion annually.
The state of the art is Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) which are osteogenic compounds. However, BMPs can cause heterotopic ossification (bone growth at non-boney sites), which makes them somewhat difficult and risky to use.
The invention comprises a patented osteogenic formulation of prostaglandin E1, an already approved drug, and a delivery system (HA or Crescent Innovations’ patented PgGA). This technology has been shown to grow bone rapidly in vivo without inducing bone synthesis at ectopic sites by non-bone cells.
The assets will be sold at a sealed bid sale on June 28, 2024 at 12 PM EDT.
