The submission comes just slightly after Vericel’s previous estimate to submit the MACI BLA by the end of 2015. The product was studied in a pivotal Phase III clinical trial called SUMMIT (Superiority of MACI Implant to Microfracture Treatment) and a 3-year extension trial, results of which indicated that the treatment was clinically and statistically significantly better than microfracture, with similar structural repair tissue and safety.
