RepliCart is aimed at preventing or treating osteoarthritis of the knee, both in the elderly and following knee reconstruction surgery.
Last month, Mesoblast announced it was beginning Phase II trials of RepliCart in people under 40 who had undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery
The agreement with Parkway Group Healthcare, which operates 15 private hospitals in Asia, involves a single-injection safety and efficacy trial at Parkway’s Clinical Centre of Excellence in Singapore.
Mesoblast said further trials were planned for additional clinical indications.
