Investigator-Initiated Studies

An Investigator-Initiated Study is a study in which a Health Care Professional (HCP) or organization other than TissueTech is the Study Sponsor, and where TissueTech only supports the conduct of the study by providing financial support or study product. This relates to investigations with humans, animal studies, and laboratory experiments. TissueTech supports studies related to:

  • Regenerative treatments for ocular surface indications and procedures
  • Diagnosis of ocular surface indications
  • Expanding the clinical applications of biologics and regenerative medicine treatments
  • Health economic evaluations of regenerative treatments
  • Use of regenerative treatments in preventing post-surgical wounds
  • Regenerative treatments for chronic and complex wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers
