MIAMI, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Tissue, Inc., a TissueTech, Inc. company and pioneer in the clinical application of human birth tissue-based products, announced today that its parent company TissueTech had received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with a Phase 2 study using morselized Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane (CAM) and Cryopreserved Umbilical Cord (CUC) Investigational New Drug (IND) TTBT01. This clearance represents another milestone as the company works to achieve FDA approval for its graft and morselized human birth tissue products as biologics for important clinical indications.
Already a leader in ocular clinical research and regenerative medicine, Bio-Tissue is now pioneering a pipeline in ocular biologics, as illustrated by the pursuit of morselized human birth tissue product TTBT01 to support regenerative healing in patients with persistent corneal epithelial defect – commonly referred to as dry eye disease. As a 351 biologic IND, TTBT01 will be subject to a stringent FDA pre-approval process that includes two randomized Phase 3 clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
