A single arm, multi-country, multi-center study in pediatric patients, suffering from congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), treated during the primary surgical intervention with NVD-003, an autologous 3D scaffold free osteogenic graft.
Congenital pseudarthrosis is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology and variable history that manifests itself as a non-union or pseudarthrosis of fractures that develop spontaneously or following minor trauma. It can be defined as a disorder of the diaphysis which is revealed by either pseudarthrosis at birth or by a pathological fracture presenting in bone with modifications such as bowing, narrowing of the medullary canal or a cyst. Although uncommon, CPT is the most frequently observed type of congenital pseudarthrosis. Its incidence is reported to be between 1:140,000 to 1:250,000 live births. Autologous bone grafting is considered the gold standard approach as this material vascularizes and integrates with surrounding bone, minimizing the risk of infection, dislodgement, or break-down. NVD-003 is a scaffold free 3D osteogenic graft derived from autologous adipose stem cells which become embedded in their extracellular matrix and combined with hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium phosphate (HA/βTCP) particles. NVD-003 is intended to promote bone formation, supporting the physiological bone healing process in severe pathophysiological conditions such as hypoxia, lack of mineralized callus formation, bone resorption and low osteogenicity.

Primary objective: safety short (≤3 months) and mid long-term (>3-12 months): : Descriptive analysis
Assess number of patients with NVD-003 related (S)AEs
Time frame: Up to 12 months post-grafting surgery
Long term Safety long-term (>12-24 months): Descriptive analysis
Assess number of patients with NVD-003 related SAEs
Time frame: 12-24 months post grafting surgery
Tibial length evaluation
Assess evolution tibial length (using CT-Scan)
Time frame: 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months post-GS
Bone formation
Assess changes in bone formation (Using Lane and Sandhu Scoring on CT-Scan)
Time frame: 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months post-GS
Bone remodeling
Assess changes in bone remodeling (using Lane and Sandhu Scoring on CT-scan) Based on Dual Energy CT-scan (DECT or Spectral CT), information of low- and high-energy photons is collected, allowing to uncover differences in energy-dependent attenuation, facilitating composition of NVD 003 and surrounding tissue and define bone mineral density) at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-GS
Time frame: 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months post-GS
Bone union
Assess changes in bone union (using Lane and Sandhu Scoring on CT-scan)
Time frame: 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months post-GS
