Image Analysis Group to Provide Imaging Strategy and Advanced Imaging Analytics in Support of MIMEDX’s Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial Program

MIMEDX is a transformational placental biologics company, developing and distributing placental tissue allografts and IAG, Image Analysis Group, a strategic bio-pharma imaging expert announce a partnership in the development of MIMEDX’s mdHACM.

The IAG team has significant experience in using medical imaging to support drug development.

‘We have significant evidence that mdHACM injected into the knees of people with OA provides lasting pain relief and improves function, and we believe it has potential as a DMOAD. MIMEDX has discovered how to preserve the remarkable healing properties of placental membranes when we produce mdHACM, and we have demonstrated that it contains many proteins that influence the biology of cartilage-forming cells and reduce inflammation. We believe these active proteins contribute to the striking, long-lasting benefits we have seen in patients receiving a single injection of mdHACM into their osteoarthritic knee. Following an extensive review and selection process, we are very excited to have world-class partners who are at the forefront of advancing meaningful medicines; working in collaboration accelerates our ability to gather quality data for our future Biologics License Application (BLA), and our potential to bring tremendous benefit for people living with OA.’ said Dr Robert B. Stein, M.D., Ph.D., MIMEDX President, Regenerative Medicine & Biologics Innovation.
