ClinConnect Summary

The CHANGE study is a post-marketing study designed as a prospective, single-blind, randomized, two phase study comparing clinical outcomes of AVANCE Nerve Graft to hollow tube conduits. The first phase (pilot phase) assesses projected differences expected between two treatment groups. The second phase of the study provides comparison data between the two treatment groups.

AVANCE Nerve Graft is current regulated in the United States as a 361 HCT/P Tissue for transplantation; not a Drug, Biologic, or Medical Device. Hollow tube conduits are currently regulated in the United States as medica...
