Organogenesis Holdings announced positive outcomes from their Type-B FDA meeting, confirming the appropriateness of their clinical development program for a rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) for ReNu®, a regenerative medicine product for knee osteoarthritis pain. The company plans to file the BLA by the end of 2025, addressing a significant unmet medical need in a large patient population.

Key Points

  • Organogenesis received FDA confirmation to initiate a rolling BLA submission for ReNu® for knee osteoarthritis pain, planned by end of 2025.
  • ReNu® is a cryopreserved amniotic suspension allograft with regenerative properties, supported by extensive Phase 3 clinical trial data and RMAT designation.
  • Knee osteoarthritis affects over 31 million Americans, with limited treatment options before total knee replacement, highlighting ReNu's potential market impact.

Clinical Development Program Appropriate for Rolling BLA 

Submission Expected by the End of 2025

CANTON, Mass., April 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organogenesis Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ORGO), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of product solutions for the Advanced Wound Care and Surgical and Sports Medicine markets, today announced the successful completion of a planned Type-B meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) resulting in confirmation to initiate a rolling Biologics Licenses Application (BLA) for ReNu planned before the end of December.

“We are excited about the outcome of our FDA meeting and reaching this important milestone in the ReNu program,” said Patrick Bilbo, Chief Operating Officer of Organogenesis. “We are pleased the ReNu clinical development program consisting of two large Phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCT), extensive commercial history and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT)-designation is appropriate for BLA submission. If approved, we believe that ReNu will address a significant medical need for a large and growing patient population.”

Knee OA is a degenerative joint disease that is estimated to affect nearly 31.1 million Americans and projected to grow to 34.4 million Americans by 2027. It is ranked among the most common causes of disability and poor quality of life, generally characterized by pain and functionality deficits. End stage management of the disease in these patients is typically a total knee replacement when all other treatment options are exhausted.
