Sažetak
Complications associated with the clinical use of BMP2 and BMP7 result from the limited understanding of their molecular mechanisms in bone remodeling. Recently, a novel BMP6-based approach has been developed with superior healing results and reduced side effects in preclinical studies. BMP6-containing osteogenic medicinal product called Osteogrow, which is aimed to induce and accelerate bone formation, is currently being tested in clinical studies. It comprises of a biologically compatible autologous carrier made from the patient’s peripheral blood and of rhBMP6 as an active ingredient. Such formulation circumvents the use of animal-derived materials, significantly limits inflammatory processes common in commercial bone devices, and renders the carrier flexible and injectable ensuring the ease of use. The ongoing clinical trial results will provide a more detailed insight into the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and bone healing effects in humans and hopefully provide novel and valuable therapeutic options in the field of bone regeneration.
