Project funding

Funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe – European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator (Grant Agreement No. 101189252). EU contribution € 2 499 999,00.

Project goals

The objective of the OSTEOforUNION project is to develop and commercialise OSTEOGROW-C, an innovative biological drug for the treatment of bone fracture non-unions (FNU), one of the most significant unmet needs in orthopaedics. The project encompasses the implementation of a pivotal Phase III clinical trial (TRL 8), the scaling up and optimisation of the production process for the active ingredient rhBMP6, and comprehensive preparation for regulatory submission and marketing authorisation in both the European Union and the United States. In parallel, the project focuses on establishing go-to-market strategies and strategic partnerships to ensure successful commercial deployment.


Project results

The expected outcome of the project is regulatory approval and the successful commercialisation of OSTEOGROW-C as a first-in-class biological therapy for bone fracture non-unions. Through advanced clinical validation, the project aims to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the therapy, enabling market entry in the EU and US. In doing so, OSTEOGROW-C is expected to contribute to reducing healthcare costs and complications associated with current treatment approaches, while strengthening the European Union’s position in biological drug development and regenerative medicine.
