Abstract
Description
TREATMENT OF LUMBAR FACET JOINT SYNDROME WITH EXTRACELLULAR VESICLE COMPOSITIONCROSS REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 596,900, filed on November 7, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 712,038, filed on October 25, 2024, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND
[0002] Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints worldwide. The lumbar facet joints are well recognized as the source of persistent low back pain in 15%-45% of patients with chronic low back pain based on the criteria of the International Association for the Study of Pain. Pain associated with the lumbar facet joints may occur due to trauma, spinal strains, poor body mechanics, and age-associated intervertebral disc degeneration. Irritation of the facet joint, also known as the zygapophy seal joint, over time leads to inflammation and the sensation of pain. Existing treatments for lower back pain with the involvement of lumbar facet joints include initial conservative approaches including physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, manual therapy, and NSAIDS. Therapeutic injections such as intra-articular injections, medial branch nerve blocks composed of steroid and local anesthetic, and radiofrequency ablation are also commonly utilized, but often result in limited long-term relief.
[0003] Lumbar facet joint syndrome is characterized by moderate to severe low back pain that causes significant functional deficit. Injections including autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, radiofrequency denervation and steroid injections all have been long-standing therapeutic interventions for lumbar facet joint syndrome. However, studies have shown only short to mid-term benefits with these therapies. Certain existing injections are associated with a multitude of health risks, such as steroid injections which can heighten blood glucose levels, reduce bone mass density and increase risk for vertebral fractures. PRP injections also come with a set of issues including increased inflammation from cell death, cell quantity and donor viability. As a result, it is essential to explore new injectable treatments.SUMMARY

[0100] Definitions
[0101] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be noted that the term “or” is generally employed in its sense including “and / or” unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. The terms “and / or” and “any combination thereof’ and their grammatical equivalents as used herein, can be used interchangeably.
[0102] The term “about” or “approximately” can mean within an acceptable error range for the particular value, which may depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, e.g., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 20%, up to 10%, up to 5%, or up to 1% of a given value. Alternatively, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the term can mean within an order of magnitude, within 5-fold, or within 2-fold, of a value. Where particular values are described in the application and claims, unless otherwise stated the term “about” meaning within an acceptable error range for the particular value should be assumed.
[0103] As used in this specification and claim(s), the words “comprising” (and any form of comprising, such as “comprise” and “comprises”), “having” (and any form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of including, such as “includes” and “include”) or “containing” (and any form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”) are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps.
[0104] The terms “individual,” “patient,” or “subject” are used interchangeably. None of the terms require or are limited to situation characterized by the supervision (e.g. constant or intermittent) of a health care worker (e.g. a doctor, a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner, a physician’s assistant, an orderly, or a hospice worker).EXAMPLES
[0105] The following examples are provided to further illustrate some embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure; it will be understoodby their exemplary nature that other procedures, methodologies, or techniques known to those skilled in the art may alternatively be used.Example 1: Production of Therapeutic Composition
[0106] An MSC secretome therapeutic composition was made by the following method: human bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured in culture vessels with growth media to expand the MSC population. Growth media was then removed, and the cells were washed with PBS. The MSCs were then cultured in reduced glucose media with a pH below 7.0 under hypoxic conditions. The conditioned media was then collected and subjected to diafiltration followed by filter sterilization. The production process for the therapeutic product was done under current Good Manufacturing Practices and Current Good Tissue Practices.
[0107] The tetraspanin profile of extracellular vesicles present in the therapeutic composition was determined, and it was found that greater than 95% of the extracellular vesicles present in the therapeutic composition were CD63+CD9 CD81 .
[0108] Protein content of the therapeutic product was determined, and the following proteins were found to be present: Ferritin, NUP85, LAMP2, GPR115, Serpin Fl, OPN, PAI-1, DAPP1, Cathepsin B,

[0114] Disclosed herein is a prospective, open-label, non-randomized safety study of a single therapeutic product injection for the treatment of lumbar facet joint pain. This study was approved by the Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine (protocol number JW-FJE-001 and approval number IRCM-2021-282). The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
[0115] A total of twenty (20) healthy adult participants with lumbar facet joint syndrome were enrolled in the study, which was held at a single center (Interventional Pain Specialists, Naperville, IL). All subjects had a history of chronic low back pain that causes functional deficit. Imaging was conducted confirming lumbar facet joint degenerative changes. Participants also underwent a single diagnostic nerve block done at either the L4-5 or L5-S1 levels with local anesthetic to confirm facet joint syndrome. On the day of the treatment, baseline measures were obtained through three outcome assessments: Severity Index, Interference Index and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These assessments were also obtained 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 2weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months post-injection. Communication was also conducted at the follow up points to discuss any potential adverse events throughout the entire study.Informed consent was obtained from each participant prior to the start of the study.
[0116] Patient Demographics
[0117] All enrolled participants met inclusion criteria (see below). Subjects include 11 males and 9 females, with an average age of 57.38 years for the group (Table 2). All female participants were screened for pregnancy prior to treatment. Those with severe stenosis, cauda equina symptoms or multifactorial diagnoses of lumbar facet joint syndrome were excluded.
[0118] Inclusion Criteria
[0119] All candidates for this study met all of the following Inclusion Criteria to be eligible for enrollment:• Voluntary signature of the approved Informed Consent• Subject must be over 18 years old.• A minimum 6-month diagnosis of degenerated facet low back pain (DFLBP) defined based on INCLUSION criteria.• The DFLBP can be from any etiology.• The patient must be currently on regular treatments and / or medications for their DFLBP diagnosis.• MRI evidence of one or up to three levels of facet degeneration.• Primary symptom complaint of degenerated facet caused low back pain. This will be established by MRI imaging documenting facet degeneration and a diagnostic image guided facet injection of an anesthetic that provides the patient at least a 70% reduction of their LBP for a period of time appropriate for the anesthetic used.Exclusion Criteria
[0120] Candidates who met any of the following Exclusion Criteria at the time of the study procedure were NOT eligible for enrollment in the study:
[0121] The subject is unable to conform to the study protocol follow-up procedures and visits.
[0122] The subject has major risk factors such as a history of narcotic abuse, paucity of family support, unemployed, history of previous physical or mental abuse or severe medical comorbidities.
[0123] Patients with any auto-immune disorder.
[0124] Any patient felt not to be a suitable study patient by the principal Investigator.
[0125] Radiographic evidence of spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis.
[0126] Symptomatic stenosis or disc herniation resulting in leg greater than back pain.
[0127] Symptomatic discogenic pain.
[0128] Patients with hematologic blood dyscrasias, platelet dysfunction, septi cemia / fever, malignancy, cutaneous infections in area to be treated or severe psychiatric impairment or unrealistic expectations.Therapeutic Description
[0129] The therapeutic product contains 60-80 billion extracellular vesicles per mL that comprise secreted proteins, mRNA, miRNA, growth factors, and signaling lipids. The primary EVs are derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of a single young and healthy donor. Donor bone marrow screening was conducted by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) licensed laboratory that also tested for any virus or infective agents. The therapeutic product was tested for sterility per USP<71>, Sterility Test. The therapeutic product was stored frozen at -60°C to -80°C to maintain bioactivity. The product was thawed to room temperature prior to use. As an example, the product of Example 2.Injection Technique
[0130] Under fluoroscopic guidance, all lumbar facet joint injections were performed by the principal investigator under sterile conditions. Patients were positioned prone with a pillow cushioning the abdominal region. Strict aseptic technique was utilized. The skin was prepped with chi orhexi dine solution. The targeted facet joints were identified under multiplanar fluoroscopy. The target area was anesthetized with 1% lidocaine (PF). A 22-gauge needle was inserted into the facet joint space under fluoroscopy. The use of contrast was bypassed to avoid dilution of the extracellular vesicle injection. After successful intra-articular puncture, an injection of 0.5 mL therapeutic product was injected into the confirmed joint space. All needles were removed intact, and dressings were applied to the insertion sites.Results
[0131] Following a successful lumbar facet joint injection, all twenty (20) participants were followed up for a 3-month period. No participant was lost in follow-up (100% follow-up). Each participant was followed up at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months postinjection to evaluate for any potential adverse event due to use of the therapeutic product. There were no participants who reported any adverse events or were determined to be clinically worse following treatment.
[0132] During follow up, participants were provided with outcome assessments to address severity index and interference index as well as the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to monitor levels of function. The outcomes show that following the therapeutic product injection, the average participant experienced significant improvement from baseline in their assessments (Figure 1). The average percentage clinical improvement compared to baseline for each pain and functionality outcome assessment at each time interval is detailed in Table 3, and averageraw scores are presented in Table 4. By the 3-month follow up endpoint, the average participant experienced 65.04% and 72.09% improvement in their Severity Index and Interference Index scores, respectively. Participants also exhibited statistically improved ODI scores of 58.43% at 90 days (Table 4).
[0133] This preliminary IRB safety study on the treatment of lumbar facet joint syndrome demonstrated that the use of a bmMSC derived EV product (therapeutic product) can be administered safely into the lumbar facet joint space. There were no complications or reported adverse events from any of the enrolled participants, minor or major. No participant was made worse from the therapeutic injection. The safety profile of the injected therapeutic product as delineated in this study is consistent with another recent clinical study that used the therapeutic product injection to treat cervical and lumbar radiculopathy.
[0134] The results indicate that injection of bmMSC EV into the lumbar facet joint is a safe procedure and may be a universally effective treatment modality for lumbar facet joint syndrome.Table 2. Description of Patient DemographicsTable 3. Mean percentage improvement from baseline to each follow-up period.Table 4. Mean assessment value shown for each timepoint. Each test yielded p-value <0.001 by paired t test analysis as compared to baseline.Example 4: Safety of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicle injection for lumbar facet joint pain
[0135] Disclosed herein is a 3-month pilot study as described in Example 2 to evaluate the safety of injecting a bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicle advanced investigational product (IP) into the lumbar facet joint space as a treatment for chronic low back pain. As an example, the IP of Example 2.
[0136] Methods: 20 healthy adults were treated with IP injections (0.5 ml / joint) and evaluated by three functional assessments 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days later.
[0137] Results: No adverse effects or complications occurred across the 3-month follow-up. There were no reports of worsening pain. After 3 months group average scores improved significantly (p < 0.0001) in the Severity Index (65.04%), Interference Index (72.09%) and Oswestry Disability Index (58.43%) assessments.
[0138] Conclusion: IP injections were safe and associated with significant functional improvements.
[0139] Study design: This was a prospective, open-label, non-randomized safety study of a single injection of IP for the treatment of lumbar facet joint pain. This study was approved by the Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine (protocol number JW-FJE-001 and approval number IRCM-2021-282). The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. A total of 20 healthy adult participants with lumbar facet joint pain were enrolled in the study, which was held at a single center (Interventional Pain Specialists, IL,USA). All subjects had a history of chronic lower back pain (LBP) that causes a decrease in the activities of daily living (ADL). MRI imaging confirmed lumbar facet joint degenerative changes. Participants underwent a single diagnostic medial branch nerve block at the level indicated by physical examination and MRI findings. The diagnostic procedure was performed at L4 for L4-5 suspected facet joint pain and L5 for L5 — SI suspected facet joint pain. Under fluoroscopic guidance, diagnostic medial branch injections were performed by the principal investigator under sterile conditions. Subjects were positioned prone with a pillow cushioning the abdominal region. Strict aseptic technique was utilized. The skin was prepped with a chlorhexidine solution. The target medial branch nerve (either L4 or L5) was identified under multiplanar fluoroscopy. The skin and subcutaneous tissues along the path to the target nerve were then anesthetized with 1% lidocaine (PF). A 22-gauge needle was advanced to contact the pedicle of the vertebrae to intersect the path of the medial branch nerve into the suspected facet joint under live fluoroscopy. Next, 0.5 ml of lidocaine 1% PF was deposited. All needles were removed intact. Sterile dressing was applied to the insertion site. The patient was monitored for the next 90 min. The report of a 70% reduction in pain using the Visual Analog Scale within 0 to 90 minutes (expected duration of the local anesthetic) was considered confirmatory for facet joint pain at the level adjacent to the nerve. After reviewing medical history, physical exam and MRI imaging, only patients who had pain generating from either L4 — L5 or L5 — SI spinal levels were included in this study. Patients with MRI imaging that implicated additional cephalad or proximally located arthritis levels were not included. On the day of the treatment, baseline measures were obtained for three pain or disability indexes: Severity Index (BPI-SI) and Interference Index (BPI-II), obtained from the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These assessments were also performed 24 h, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months post-injection. Communication was also conducted at the followup points to discuss any potential adverse events throughout the entire study. Informed consent was obtained from each participant prior to the start of the study.
[0140] All candidates for this study met all of the following Inclusion Criteria to be eligible for enrollment:• Voluntary signature of the approved informed consent• Subject must be over 18 years old• A minimum 6-month diagnosis of lumbar facet joint pain defined based on inclusion criteria• The lumbar facet joint pain can be from any etiology• The subj ect must be currently on regular treatments and / or medications for their lumbar facet joint pain diagnosis• MRI evidence of one or up to three levels of facet degeneration• Primary symptom complaint of degenerated facet caused lower back pain (LBP). This was established by physical examination, lumbar spine L4 — L5 or L5-51 MRI imaging documenting facet degeneration and at least a 70% reduction in reported low back pain within 0 to 90 minutes following a diagnostic, fluoroscopically guided, medial branch nerve block with 0.5 ml of Lidocaine 1% PF.
[0141] Candidates who met any of the following Exclusion Criteria at the time of the study procedure were not eligible for enrollment in the study:• The subject is unable to conform to the study protocol follow-up procedures and visits• The subject has major risk factors such as a history of narcotic abuse, paucity of family support, history of previous physical or mental abuse or severe medical comorbidities• Subjects with any autoimmune disorder• Any subject felt not to be a suitable study subject by the principal Investigator• Radiographic evidence of spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis• Symptomatic stenosis or disc herniation resulting in leg greater than back pain• Symptomatic discogenic pain• Subjects with hematologic blood dyscrasias, platelet dysfunction, septicemia / fever, malignancy, cutaneous infections in area to be treated or severe psychiatric impairment or unrealistic expectations• Lack of response to diagnostic medial branch nerve block
[0142] Subject demographics: All enrolled participants met inclusion criteria. Subjects included 11 males and 9 females, with an average age of 57.38 years for the group. All female participants were screened for pregnancy prior to treatment. Those with severe stenosis, cauda equina symptoms or history of lumbar surgical instrumentation were excluded.
[0143] Results: Following a successful lumbar facet joint injection, all 20 participants were followed up for a 3-month period. No participant was lost in follow-up (100% follow-up). Each participant was followed up at 24 h, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months postinjection to evaluate for any potential adverse event due to use of the IP. There were no participants who reported any adverse events or who were determined to be clinically worse following treatment. During follow-up, analgesic use was unchanged (or decreased) for all subjects. There were no requests for increased medication therapy during the study. All participants were provided with outcome assessments to address BPI-SI and BPI-II as well as the ODI to monitor levels of function. The outcomes show that following the IP injection, the average participant experienced significant (p < 0.0001) improvement from baseline in all threeassessments by 3 months (Figures 2-4). BPI-SI and BPI-II scores were significantly (p < 0.05) improved within one day (Figures 2-3), and the mean ODI reached significance within 3 days (Figure 4). By the 3-month follow-up end point, the average participant experienced 65.04 and 72.09% improvement in their BPI-SI and BPI-II scores, respectively. Participants also exhibited improved ODI scores of 58.43% at 90 days.
[0144] Discussion: This pilot IRB safety study on the treatment of lumbar facet joint pain demonstrated that the use of an advanced BM-MSC EV IP can be administered safely into the lumbar facet joint space. There were no complications or reported adverse events from any of the enrolled participants, minor or major. No participant was made worse from the therapeutic injection.Example 5: One month safety study of therapeutic product injection for the treatment of lumbar or cervical radiculopathy in the epidural space
[0145] Disclosed herein is a safety study to address the use of the therapeutic product disclosed herein in the treatment of cervical and lumbar radiculopathy. Ten healthy adults were treated with the therapeutic product (n = 5 for each indication). Follow up occurred 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks, and 1 month post injection.
[0146] Study design: This study was a prospective, open-label, non-randomized IRB approved safety study of a single therapeutic product injection for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy (n=5) and lumbar radiculopathy (n=5) due to intervertebral disc herniation. Participants were not subjected to any costs for the study product and study services provided. Reimbursement was not offered for involvement in the study. The study protocol was approved by the Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine IRB, Protocol number: HM-EF-001, IRB approval number: IRCM-2020-274. All participants were counseled and presented with informed consent documentation per IRB requirements. Ten (10) healthy adult subjects were enrolled in the study, which was held at a single center (Hudson Medical). All subjects had symptoms of radicular pain for years and MRIs that exhibited mild to moderate herniated nucleus pulposus with neural foraminal compression. In conjunction, medical history reviews and physical examinations were performed. 24 hours prior to the injection, baseline measures were obtained through the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Upper Extremity Functional Scale (UEFS), QuickDash (QD), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and ODI (Oswestry Disability Index). These same outcome measures were obtained 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks and 1 month post-injection through the Qualtrics system. Phone calls and emails were conducted at the aforementioned follow up points to discuss any potential adverse events and / or improvement in symptoms.
[0147] Injection technique: All injections were performed by the principal investigator under standard sterile conditions. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 22-gauge 3.5 inch epidural Tuohy needle was advanced into the epidural space using the loss of resistance technique. 2-3 mL of Omnipaque 180 contrast was then injected under live fluoroscopic view to confirm placement in the epidural space. A / P and lateral fluoroscopic views were saved. After repeated negative aspiration for blood or CSF, a 3 mL solution of 2mL therapeutic product and ImL of normal saline was injected. For patients with cervical radiculopathy, an interlaminar epidural injection with approach at the C5-6 or C6-7 level was used. For patients with lumbar radiculopathy, an interlaminar epidural injection with approach at the L4-5 or L5-S1 level was used. Figure 5 shows placement of cervical (top images) and lumbar (bottom images) injections.
[0148] Results: Following the injection, every participant was followed up 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks and 1 month with outcome measures and contacted to review any potential adverse events from the use of the therapeutic product. One (1) participant, who presented with lumbar radiculopathy, was released from the study due to inadequate follow up after the 5-day contact point. Another subject was enrolled in their place, per the Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine IRB. At 24 hours post injection, two patients experienced slightly increased pain and four patients noted pain and soreness to the injection site. These adverse events were resolved by the 3 -day follow up point. One subject experienced 2 headaches, one at the 3 -day follow up point and another 5 days after the injection. The second headache resolved on the same day of onset and the patient denied any other headaches throughout the remainder of the study period. There were no other reported adverse side effects, including fever, chills, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, from the participants following the injection. By the 1 -month follow up point, no patient exhibited any worsening cervical or lumbar radiculopathy from the therapeutic product injection. At the one month follow-up point, the average patient improved 55% in BPI , 55.2% in QD, 25.4% in UEFS, 19.75% in ODI and 26% in LEFS.
