Osteo-Pharma
Osteo-Pharma BV is a Dutch Life Sciences company dedicated to developing novel medications and medical devices to improve the local healing of bone fractures and defects. Utilizing its proprietary OsteoActivator platform, the company develops biodegradable films, microspheres, and coatings for implants that facilitate sustained release of small molecule drugs, enhancing bone formation and inhibiting resorption. The company is in mid to late stage pre-clinical development with various projects and aims to initiate first human clinical trials around 2017/2018. Its mission is to deliver innovative solutions for bone healing and regeneration, including treatments for osteoarthritis and coatings for implants to improve osseo-integration.

Products
Drug‑eluting biodegradable collagen barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration
Biodegradable collagen membrane coated with a sustained-release drug layer designed to enhance early bone formation in dental procedures (e.g., alveolar ridge preservation) and applicable to fracture/defect healing.
Injectable biodegradable PLGA microspheres for local bone delivery
Injectable PLGA microspheres formulated to release combination therapeutics locally within bone defects or via intraosseous injection to restore subchondral bone remodeling and relieve pain in osteoarthritis-related lesions.
Drug‑eluting implant coatings to enhance osseointegration
Sustained-release coatings applied to orthopedic implants and screws to increase adjacent bone formation and bone-implant contact, based on preclinical implant studies.
