💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The research will be conducted as a prospective, post-market, multi-center study within Europe. The maximum number of subjects to be treated is 150 across up to 20 sites. This will be a non-randomized and open-label study. The study will collect procedural, short- and long-term data on the safety and clinical performance of AGN1 LOEP in the post-market setting in European countries where AGN1 LOEP is commercially available. AGN1 is intended to form new bone in voids in the proximal femur of women with osteoporosis.
