CARTALLEU clinical trial
A phase 3 clinical trial called CARTALLEU is underway in 5 European countries to confirm the validity of the treatment and obtain approval from the European Medicines Agency.
Building on its experience in development and bioproduction, EFS Bourgogne-Franche-Comté has been entrusted with the production of batches for all French patients.
GENESIS: artificial skin for burn victims
As a specialist in wound healing, URGO MEDICAL is leading the Genesis project, with the aim of developing a ready-to-use artificial skin that can cover burned areas in a single operation. Such a protocol would considerably reduce patient pain and cut costs for the healthcare system.
Partners: Etablissement Français du Sang de Nantes, an AFM-Téléthon laboratory, Dassault Systèmes and LBTI (CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1).
BFC Region grant: €250k awarded to the company ADHARA for the construction of the R&D laboratory dedicated to this project, as part of the support scheme for structural projects
