Osiris Therapeutics to Present 10 Advanced Clinical and Scientific Abstracts, Including an Exclusive Oral Presentation on its New Ambient Viable Tissue Preservation TechnologyCOLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (Pink Sheets:OSIR), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on developing and marketing products for wound care, orthopedics, and sports medicine, will present advanced clinical and scientific research at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Fall Conference. A total of 10 studies (6 clinical and 4 scientific studies) will be presented. The clinical studies highlight benefits of Osiris’ placenta-based products, Grafix® and Stravix®, for use in covering a variety of wound types in both the outpatient and operative settings. The scientific studies describe the cell phenotype and anti-microbial properties of placental tissues, as well as Osiris’ novel lyopreservation technology allowing ambient storage of viable tissues. Key presentations and events are highlighted below. Dr. Eric Johnson, MD, will present a lecture entitled “A Comparative Outcomes Analysis Evaluating Clinical Effectiveness in Two Different Human Placental Membrane Products for Wound Management” on Friday, October 20, at 7:30am (Milano VII-VIII Room, onsite registration available). This is the first study comparing outcomes of two human placental products used for management of acute and chronic wounds. As a comparative effectiveness study, the patient cohort reflects the variety of wounds and comorbidities seen daily in wound care centers and the outcomes of placental product use in this population. Osiris is supporting a CME lecture entitled “Clinical and Scientific Advances in the Use of Placental Membranes” on Saturday, October 21 at 11:20am (Forum 17-19). The lecture will be presented by Dr. Lawrence A. Lavery, DPM, MPH, and will overview the science of placental membranes and their use in chronic and complex wounds. The lecture will also discuss when and how to utilize placental membranes as an adjunct to good wound care. A study by Osiris scientists was selected as one of eight abstracts for oral presentation during the conference. The study entitled “Ambient Temperature Viable Amnion Processed via Novel Lyopreservation Method Retains Properties of Fresh Tissue” will be presented on Saturday, October 21 at 11:20am (Oral Abstract 25.4, Forum 1-4). This podium presentation describes the results of in vitro and in vivo evaluation of viable lyopreserved amniotic membrane (VLAM) and viable cryopreserved amniotic membrane (VCAM). VLAM is processed using a novel lyopreservation technology that allows for ambient storage of living tissues. Data demonstrates that both VCAM and VLAM retain the structure, cell viability, and functional properties of fresh amniotic membrane. However, VLAM is stored at ambient temperatures making VLAM more accessible for widespread use. Results will also be presented at the poster session (Poster LB-008). In addition to the oral presentation, Osiris’ scientific poster was selected for the SAWC Research Poster Critique Recognition (“Utility of a New Chroni Wound Model in Diabetic Mice for Evaluation of Wound Care Products,” Abstract LB-009), and three clinical abstracts were selected for publication in WOUNDS as Rapid Communication video reports.
