Definitions

  • Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring polysaccharide containing alternating N-acetyl-D- glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid monosaccharide units linked with beta 1-4 bonds and the disaccharide units linked with beta 1-3 glycoside bonds. It occurs usually as the sodium salt and has a molecular weight range of about 50,000 to 8xl0 6 .
  • the present invention provides a bone growth- promoting composition comprising hyaluronic acid and a growth factor such that the composition has a viscosity and biodegradability sufficient to persist at the site of desired bone growth for a period of time sufficient to promote bone growth.
  • Compositions comprising hyaluronic acid and a growth factor are provided which have the requisite viscosity and biodegradability.
  • hyaluronic acid means hyaluronic acid and its salts such as the sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like, salts.
  • growth factors it is meant those factors, proteinaceous or otherwise, which are found to play a role in the induction or conduction of growth of bone, ligaments, cartilage or other tissues associated with bone or joints.
  • these growth factors include bFGF, aFGF, EGF (epidermal growth factor) , PDGF (platele - derived growth factor) , IGF (insulin-like growth factor) , TGF- ⁇ I through III, including the TGF-jS superfamily (BMP-1 through 12, GDF 1 through 12, dpp, 60A, BIP, OF) .
  • FIG. 1 is a graphical representation of experimental data set forth in example 1 below;
  • FIG. IA shows the bone thickness formed as a function of bFGF dosage;
  • FIG. IB shows bone thickness formation as a function of hyaluronic acid concentration;
  • FIG. 2 is a graphical representation of the experimental data set forth in Example 2 below.
  • FIG. 3 is a graphical representation of the load at failure of healing rabbit fibula after 23 and 30 days following treatment according to Example 3.
  • FIG. 4 is a graphical representation of the energy to failure (in pounds) of healing rabbit fibula after 23 and 30 days following treatment according to Example 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a graphical representation of the bone thickness data in rats following treatment according to Example 4.
  • the HA is preferably uncrosslinked having a molecular weight of 500,000 and above, typically in the range of 10 4 to 10 7 .
  • the bone growth-promoting compositions will typically contain from about 0.1 up to 4 percent by weight of uncrosslinked HA in an aqueous solution which also contains other solution excipients such as buffer salts, sugars, anti-oxidants and preservatives to maintain the bio-activity of the growth factor and proper pH of the composition.
  • a composition containing from about 0.1 to 2 percent by weight of uncrosslinked HA is preferred.
  • a typical pH of the solution will be in the range of 4 to 9, preferably about 6.0 ⁇ 1.0 and most preferably about 5.0.
  • the growth factor will typically be present in the solution in a concentration range of about 10 ⁇ 6 to 100 mg/ml of solution, particularly in the case of bFGF preferably about 0.1 to 20 mg/ml.
  • concentration will be dependent upon the particular bone site and application, as well as the volume of the injection and specific activity of the growth factor. It is important for the solution used to promote the growth to have a viscosity which allows it to be injectable through a syringe or catheter, but not to be prematurely diluted by the body fluids before the bone promoting effect can be achieved.
  • the viscosity of the composition is within a range of 10 to 10 6 cP and, in the case of bFGF-containing compositions, preferably about 75,000 cP.
  • composition it is also important for the composition to have a biodegradability which is sufficient to allow it to remain in place at the site of desired bone growth to effect the bone growth-promoting activity.
  • the composition must usually persist at the site of desired bone growth for a period from about three (3) to about thirty (30) days, typically from three (3) to about fourteen (14) days. If the composition is dispersed prematurely, the desired bone growth-promotion effect either will not occur or the formed bone will not have the desired strength.
  • composition persists at the site of desired bone growth for an excessive period, its presence at the bone site may inhibit the natural development of the bone, sometimes resulting in no bone formation at all.
  • compositions are typically formed as solutions by mixing the HA and growth factor in appropriate amounts of excipients such as sodium citrate, EDTA and sucrose so that the HA and growth factor remain in solution at the desired concentration and the solution exhibits the appropriate viscosity and biodegradability.
  • excipients such as sodium citrate, EDTA and sucrose
  • the solution may be applied to the site of desired bone growth in any convenient manner, typically by introduction through a syringe or catheter.
  • a bone growth composition of the present invention may be desirable to accelerate wound healing, prevent further tissue damage occurring subsequent to injury, avoid treatments that compromise the natural healing process and create optimal physical and biological conditions for healing.
  • Sites of desired bone growth include tibia/fibula fractures; femur/humerus fractures; forearm fractures; posteriorly displaced distal radius (Colles) fracture; stress fractures including sports fractures associated with shin splints and foot injuries; vertebral compression fractures, rib fractures and clavicular fractures.
  • Sites of desired bone growth also include pathological bone defects associated with osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and primary and metastatic cancer of the bone.

A 5-10 millimeter incision was made laterally in the skin at the back of the neck to locate the intersection of the sagittal and lambdoid sutures. Fifty microliters of the test formulation was injected with a 21G needle between the periosteum and parietal bone. The animals were euthanized 14 days following treatment.
  • Tissues for histological analysis were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Tissues were decalcified for at least 2 hours in formic acid (RapidBone Decal) with constant, gentle agitation.

The first two entries in table 3 represent replicate experiments. Replicate groups of animals receiving 100 ⁇ g bFGF in a 2% HA gel had a total parietal bone thickness of 0.49+0.10 mm in the first study and 0.59 ⁇ 0.12 mm in the second study, a 17% difference. However, the total bone thickness of both groups was qualitatively and quantitatively significantly different than control. All formulations containing 100 ⁇ g of bFGF and HA had at least a 61% increase in new bone formation compared to animals receiving no treatment. FIG.

  • the dose of bFGF increase from 10 to 100 ⁇ g, the total bone thickness increases 20% from 0.45 to 0.54 mm.
  • concentration of HA increases, an increase in total bone formation is seen until a maximum increase in bone formation is observed near 0.5% HA; increasing the concentration of HA above 0.5% does not result in an additional increase in new bone formation elicited by bFGF in this model (FIG. IB) .

  • Example 2 The tests described in Example 1 were conducted using 8 different formulations. The bFGF was used in combination with hyaluronic acid as compared to 7 other compositions wherein bFGF was used with other carriers or the carriers were used alone as placebos. The results are shown below and are summarized in FIG. 2 and Table 4.

  • Example 4 The method in Example 1 was used to compare total bone formation of the HA/bFGF formulation in Example 1, the fibrin/bFGF formulation in Example 3, and a bFGF in an aqueous sucrose/citrate buffer formulation. 100 ⁇ g of bFGF in 50 ⁇ L each formulation was administered by subperiosteal injection, and animals were sacrificed 7 and 14 days post-administration. In addition, animals receiving no treatment were used as controls.
  • Figure 5 shows the quantitative results of the bone thickness measurement .
  • the thickness 7 days after treatment is 95% thicker in the animals administered 100 ⁇ g of bFGF in a 2% HA gel than in animal receiving no treatment (i.e. control) .

  • the new bone formation may be a result of elevation of the periosteum during the surgical procedure. No abnormalities are observed in any part of the tissue, and there is no indication of antigenic potential in any of the HAs examined. Animals receiving no surgery and no treatment showed no new bone formation and all six animals received a bone formation score of zero.
  • This group was very similar to the groups receiving HA gel, except that no new bone formed as a result of elevation of the periosteum.
  • the specimens consisted of mature bone in which normal osteocytes are present in lacunae, and marrow spaces were seen. Small amounts of fine fibrous tissue are present superficially to the bone tissue in all sections.
  • FGF treated groups had a 68-100% increase in bone thickness over the growth control.
  • the animals treated with bFGF in a gel formed from Lifecore' s highest molecular weight HA available had the largest increase in bone thickness (100%) .
  • the molecular weight of HA increased, the amount of new bone formed also increased. This increase in bone formation could be due to the increase in viscosity of the formulation. As the viscosity increased, it became a larger diffusional barrier for the FGF maintaining it at the site locally for a longer period. The longer residence time of HA then results in more bone formation.
  • Example 6 This Example addresses the local distribution and persistence of hyaluronic acid following subperiosteal injection of an HA + bFGF gel.
