Form 8-K for BIOMIMETIC THERAPEUTICS, INC.


18-Sep-2012

Item 8.01. Other Events.

BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") has amended its Augment™ Bone Graft PMA which was previously filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") to include the results of a study conducted on becaplermin (Regranex) to evaluate cancer mortality. The results of the study, presented at the Second Annual Meeting of The American College of Wound & Tissue Repair, indicated no difference in either cancer incidence or cancer mortality between patients who received Regranex and those who did not.

The retrospective follow-up analyses were conducted using patient records of 6,429 Regranex patients compared to a matched group of patient records of 6,429 similar patients without Regranex treatment (12,858 total patients). Patients with foot ulcers and no prior cancer were followed for up to eleven years (1998 through 2009) to identify new malignancies and cancer-related deaths recorded in the Veterans Affairs and Medicare patient records.

The Kaplan-Meier curves for malignancies and cancer deaths were overlapping, which indicates no difference in cancer incidence or cancer deaths between the two cohorts. Furthermore, even in patients who received three or more tubes of Regranex there was no evidence of increased cancer incidence or cancer mortality.

This PMA Amendment does not change the previously disclosed timeline of the FDA's review or the Company's previous guidance on the timing of a final FDA decision on Augment Bone Graft.
