BEDFORD, Mass.

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIK), a global, integrated orthopedics and regenerative medicines company specializing in therapeutics based on its proprietary hyaluronic acid (“HA”) technology, today announced plans to showcase HYALOFAST®, a biodegradable, HA-based cartilage repair scaffold, at the 14th World Congress of the of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS). The ICRS World Congress, which is being held in Macau, China during April 9-12, 2018, is the world’s largest gathering of scientists, clinicians and industry participants focused on clinical cartilage repair and basic cartilage research.

“HYALOFAST represents a major advancement in the treatment of cartilage injuries and defects, evidenced by the positive reception it has received from physicians across 15 global markets,” said Joseph Darling, President and CEO, Anika Therapeutics. “The ICRS World Congress is the ideal venue to showcase the significant advantages HYALOFAST offers over invasive open surgical techniques and traditional scaffolds, to the largest gathering of cartilage repair specialists from around the world. At this year’s meeting, we’ve developed a robust educational agenda featuring world-renowned thought-leaders with HYALOFAST expertise sharing their technical know-how and providing hands-on, guided training sessions with our custom-built HYALOFAST Virtual Surgical Simulator. We believe that peer-to-peer education and technical training is central to prompting the HYALOFAST trial, which we hope will increase commercial adoption.”

HYALOFAST is a non-woven, single-step, off-the-shelf, biodegradable HA-based scaffold for hyaline-like cartilage regeneration to treat cartilage injuries and defects. HYALOFAST is commercially available in over 15 countries and has been used to successfully treat more than 14,000 patients internationally, and with strong five-year patient follow-up data. HYALOFAST is pending regulatory submission in the United States and its FastTRACK Phase III trial is currently enrolling patients across the U.S. and Europe.
