ENCANTO ENgineered CArtilage from Nose for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis (ENCANTO)

Coordinator: FONDAZIONE POLICLINICO UNIVERSITARIO CAMPUS BIO MEDICO (IT)

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of pain and disability, affecting over 500 million people worldwide. The tremendous socio-economic burden caused by OA is expected to further increase due to rising life expectancy and obesity. Current therapeutic approaches are limited to pain management or knee arthroplasty, but no disease-modifying or regenerative treatment is available.ENCANTO will address this major unmet clinical need by clinically introducing a combined ATMP for the biological reconstruction of the degenerated joint facet in patellofemoral OA (PFOA).
