MedinCell: mdc-CWM Clinical Phase 3 Will Start In 2021

MONTPELLIER, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MedinCell (Paris:MEDCL) confirms that late-stage clinical trials in patients receiving intra-articular mdc-CWM at the time of Total Knee Replacement (TKR) are planned as follows:

> The first of two phase 3 studies will start in H2 2021
