Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of osteogenic formulations and more particularly to formulations of osteogenic proteins belonging to the family of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, BMPs.
• BMPs Bone Morphogenetic Proteins
• OPs Osteogenic Proteins
• BMPs are expressed as propeptides which, after post-translational processing, have a length of between 104 and 139 residues. They have a great homology of sequences between them and have similar three-dimensional structures. In particular, they have 6 cysteine residues involved in intramolecular disulfide bonds forming a "cysteine knot" (Scheufler C. 2004 J. Mol Biol 1999, 287, 103, Schlunegger MP, J. Mol Biol 1993, 231, 445). Some of them have a 7 th cysteine also involved in an intermolecular disulfide bridge responsible for dimer formation (Scheufler C. Mol Biol 2004 J. 1999; 287:... 103).
• BMPs In their active form, BMPs assemble into homodimers or even heterodimers as described by Israel et al. (Israel Dl, Growth Factors, 1996, 13 (3-4), 291). Dimeric BMPs interact with BMPR transmembrane receptors (Mundy et al., Growth Factors, 2004, 22 (4), 233). This recognition is at the origin of a cascade of intracellular signaling involving Smad proteins in particular resulting in the activation or repression of target genes.
• BMPs with the exception of BMPs 1 and 3, play a direct and indirect role in the differentiation of mesenchymal cells causing their differentiation into osteoblasts (Cheng H., J. Bone and Joint Surgery, 2003, 85A 1544-1552). They also possess chemotaxis properties and induce proliferation and differentiation.
• recombinant human BMPs and in particular rhBMP-2 and rhBMP-7, have clearly demonstrated an ability to induce bone formation in vivo in humans and have been approved for certain medical applications.
• recombinant human BMP-2 dibotermin alfa according to the international nonproprietary name, is formulated in products sold under the name Infuse ® in the US and InductOs ® in Europe. This product is prescribed in the fusion of the lumbar vertebrae and bone regeneration of the tibia for so-called non-union fractures.
• the surgical procedure consists first of all, to soak a collagen sponge with a solution of rhBMP-2, then to place the sponge in a hollow cage, LT Cage, previously implanted between the vertebrae.
• OP-1 Implant Human recombinant BMP-7, eptotermin alpha according to the international nonproprietary name, has the same therapeutic indications as BMP-2 and is the basis of two products: OP-1 Implant for open fractures of the tibia and OP-1 Putty for the fusion of the lumbar vertebrae.
• OP-1 Implant consists of a powder containing rhBMP-7 and collagen to be taken up in 0.9% saline solution. The paste obtained is then applied to the fracture during a surgical procedure.
• OP-1 Putty comes in the form of two powders: one containing rhBMP-7 and collagen, the other carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). During surgery, the CMC solution is reconstituted with 0.9% saline and mixed with rhBMP-7 and collagen. The paste thus obtained is applied to the site to be treated.
• Patent application US2008 / 014197 discloses an osteoinductive implant consisting of a support (scaffold) containing a mineral ceramic, a solid membrane integrally bonded to the support and an osteogenic agent.
• the support is preferably a collagen sponge.
• the mineral ceramic comprises a calcium derivative, preferably a water-insoluble mineral matrix such as biphasic calcium phosphate ([0024], p2).
• the solid membrane integrally bound to the implant must be impervious so as to limit the entry of surrounding soft tissue cells and also prevent the entry of inflammatory cells ([003O] 1 p 3). The entry of these cells into the implant is described as possibly leading to a reduction in bone growth and treatment failure ([0007], p 1).
• This invention is focused on adding a membrane to the implant to improve osteogenesis.
• US2007 / 0254041 discloses a sheet-shaped device containing a demineralized bone matrix (DBM), collagen particles and a physically cross-linked polysaccharide matrix.
• This implant may also contain an osteogenic substance such as a growth factor.
• the physically cross-linked polysaccharide serves as a stabilizer for the demineralized bone particles ([0026], p 3).
• the alginate-based polysaccharide is crosslinked by addition of calcium chloride.
• the patent application WO96 / 39203 describes an osteogenic and biocompatible composite material with a physical resistance.
• This osteoinductive material is composed of demineralized bone, osteoinduction can only take place in the presence of demineralized bone, or in the presence of protein extracts of demineralized bone, or in the presence of these two elements according to the authors (lines 2-5, p 2).
• a calcium salt or a mineral salt is described as possibly being sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride or magnesium hydroxide (lines 4-9, p 17).
• the calcium salt may be a soluble salt or not (lines 20-21, p 17) and is preferably calcium hydroxide.
• the selection of the hydroxides of different cations, in particular of calcium, to be added is justified by the effect of increasing the pH of the matrix favorable to the increase of collagen synthesis in this environment (lines 7-11, p 15 ).
• This invention covers the formation of new demineralized bone implants whose physical and osteogenic properties would be improved by increasing the pH of the implant.
• this new formulation makes it possible to produce the same osteogenic effect with lesser amounts of growth factors.
• the invention relates to an open implant consisting of an osteogenic composition comprising at least:
• a soluble salt of at least divalent cation A soluble salt of at least divalent cation
• An organic support said organic support not comprising a demineralized bone matrix.
• open implant means an implant having no membrane or envelope capable of limiting or regulating exchanges with the tissues surrounding the implant and substantially homogeneous in its constitution.
• Demineralized bone matrix is defined as
• DBM a matrix obtained by acid extraction of autologous bone, leading to the loss of the majority of the mineralized components but to the preservation of collagenic or non-collagenic proteins, including growth factors.
• Such a demineralized matrix may also be prepared in an inactive form after extraction with chaotropic agents.
• organic support is meant a support consisting of an organic matrix and / or a hydrogel.
• organic matrix is meant a matrix consisting of cross-linked hydrogels and / or collagen.
• the organic matrix is a hydrogel obtained by chemical crosslinking of polymer chains. Interchain covalent bonds defining an organic matrix. Polymers that can be employed for the constitution of an organic matrix are described in Hoffman's review Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications (Ad v. Drug Deliv Rev, 2002, 43, 3-12).
• the matrix is chosen from the matrices based on purified, sterilized natural collagen.
• Natural polymers such as collagen are components of the extracellular matrix that promote attachment, migration and cell differentiation. They have the advantage of being extremely biocompatible and are degraded by enzymatic digestion mechanisms.
• Collagen-based matrices are obtained from fibrillar type I or IV collagen extracted from tendon or beef or pork bone. These collagens are first purified before being crosslinked and then sterilized.
• the organic supports according to the invention can be used as a mixture to obtain materials which can be in the form of a material with sufficient mechanical properties to be formed or molded or in the form of a "putty" or the collagen or hydrogel plays a role of binder.
• Mixed materials can also be used, for example a matrix which combines collagen and inorganic particles and which can be in the form of a composite material with reinforced mechanical properties or in the form of a "putty" or the collagen plays a role of binder.
• Usable inorganic materials include essentially calcium phosphate ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium calcium phosphate (TCP), biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) or amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) which have as their main interest a chemical composition very close to that of the bone. These materials have good mechanical properties and are immunologically inert. These materials can be in various forms such as powders, aggregates or blocks. These materials have very different degradation rates depending on their compositions and hydroxyapatite is degraded very slowly (several months) while tricalcium calcium phosphate degrades more quickly (several weeks). It is for this purpose that biphasic calcium phosphates have been developed because they have intermediate resorption rates. These inorganic materials are known to be primarily osteoconductive.
• HA hydroxyapatite
• TCP tricalcium calcium phosphate
• BCP biphasic calcium phosphate
• ACP amorphous calcium phosphate
• hydrogel means a hydrophilic three-dimensional network of polymer capable of adsorbing a large quantity of water or biological fluids (Peppas et al., Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2000, 50, 27-46). Such a hydrogel consists of physical interactions and is therefore not obtained by chemical crosslinking of the polymer chains.
