- Event description
- Description of the event : On the 30th June of 2025, during the production of the autologous stromal vascular fraction in the laboratory for the patient number 01-02 included in clinical trial FVS RHIZA, the cell viability obtained was 70-71% instead of ≥ 80% as specified in the protocol.
It was decided to inject the product to the patient on the 30th June of 2025 despite this result, as it was considered that there was no safety risk to the patient. Indeed, in the trial named SCLERADEC II with FVS injection, it was allowed to inject with cell viability of 70%.
However, it is possible that the efficacy will be reduced.
