AgNovos Bioscience Announces 150th Patient Enrolled in RESTORE Randomized, Controlled Trial
8.8.2023 16:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
AgNovos Bioscience, a medical technology company working to transform the treatment of bone disease by addressing persistent unmet needs in the care of patients, announced today that it has enrolled the 150th patient in the clinical study titled “Randomized Controlled Study of a Local Osteo-Enhancement Procedure (LOEP) to Prevent Secondary Hip Fractures in Osteoporotic Women Undergoing Treatment of Index Hip Fractures” (RESTORE). RESTORE is a randomized, controlled, prospective, single-blinded, global study designed to evaluate whether women undergoing surgical repair of a fragility hip fracture, and treated contralaterally with the AGN1 LOEP kit, are at reduced risk of a second hip fracture. The Company has activated more than 30 study sites across Japan, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands and Austria. RESTORE is expected to include more than 50 study sites and enroll at least 650 patients.
“The initiation of RESTORE and the enrollment of the 150th patient is a major milestone for the Company,” explained James Pilachowski, Senior Vice President of Hip Program. “RESTORE will be one of the largest prospective orthopaedic trauma studies ever conducted. The data generated will be critical to our efforts to gain access to new markets, including the U.S. and Japan.”
To ensure strategic study oversight and guidance, AgNovos Bioscience, Inc. has chartered a global steering committee comprised of experts in orthopaedics, trauma, metabolic bone health, internal medicine and medical ethics. The committee is co-chaired by Dr. Serge Ferrari, head of the Clinical Service and Research Laboratory of Bone Diseases at the Geneva University Hospital (Switzerland) and Dr. Paul Tornetta, director of the Orthopaedic Trauma department at Boston Medical Center (USA).
Dr. Tornetta shared his perspective on the importance of the study: “We all know that fragility hip fractures will be one of the biggest challenges facing orthopaedic surgeons over the next 10-20 years. Addressing contralateral hip fracture risk will be key to meeting that challenge. The science and research supporting this treatment is positive. I am glad the study is underway; I think that it could make a real difference.”
Dr. Ferrari noted that “pharmacological approaches to treatment of osteoporosis are very important but are not sufficient by themselves to solve the challenge of secondary fracture risk, especially in patients with recent fractures. The incremental risk of fracture for these patients is highest during the first year following the index fracture. If this study is successful, orthopaedic surgeons will have an important new role to play in our efforts to reduce secondary hip fracture risk.”
More than two million hip fragility fractures occur globally every year. Hip fragility fractures result from low-energy trauma such as a fall from standing height or less. These fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and often create significant burden for affected individuals, families and healthcare systems. Although multiple factors contribute to hip fracture risk, a key factor is osteoporosis and related bone loss and fragility.
“One of the reasons hip fragility fractures are so devastating is that individuals suffering one fracture are at increased risk for a second,” explained Dr. James Howe, the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of AgNovos Bioscience, Inc. “The outcomes of second fractures are often even worse than those of the first. I saw this pattern during my decades of clinical practice in orthopaedics. I look forward to reviewing the data generated by RESTORE with other clinicians and organizations committed to addressing secondary hip fracture risk.”

The AGN1 LOEP Kit contains the instruments and materials to perform a minimally invasive procedure to implant AGN1, a proprietary, calcium-based, osteoconductive, and tri-phasic implant material. AGN1 is uniquely formulated with a cell-friendly surface architecture and a resorption profile that enables the rapid formation of new bone. Clinical research has shown that AGN1 LOEP treatment delivers rapid, substantial and durable increase in the strength of osteoporotic femurs. The kit is available in Europe under the brand name OSSURE™ LOEP kit.

Electricity System Transformation Vital to Meet Future Needs, Arthur D. Little Blue Shift Report Finds1.6.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release
Arthur D. Little (ADL)’s Blue Shift Institute today published The Future of Electricity - From Building Capacity to Shaping Flexibility. The in-depth new report explores the growing pressures on electricity systems worldwide, and how they must transform to meet radically changing needs. With demand predicted to rise by 40-55% by 2035, it identifies practical strategies for maintaining reliability, affordability, and resilience. Electricity systems face profound challenges due to the accelerating electrification of end uses, increasing renewables deployments, and the digitalization of economies. Rising variability and system stress is already leading to instability, grid congestion, and disruption. Demonstrating this, an April 2025 blackout across the Iberian Peninsula led to at least eight deaths and an estimated US $1.8 billion in economic losses. Based on in-depth research and expert interviews, the report outlines the need to reshape infrastructure and operations to move from supply
Procore Redefines the Common Data Environment with Connected Data and Agentic AI1.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, today announced the launch of its connected Common Data Environment (CDE)—a purpose-built CDE from the ground up on a single platform to unify and verify project data from approved design to handover, capturing evidence in the flow of work to help keep the digital record aligned with site reality. This trusted data foundation allows agentic AI to act across the full construction lifecycle. In an industry where fragmented information continues to slow decision-making and contribute to costly delays, connected data is increasingly defining top-performing organizations. New research from Dodge Construction Network* found firms with optimized data practices achieve up to 23% higher productivity, manage 27.8% greater construction volume using the same resources, and reduce project delays by more than six days. Those firms also report up to 40% stronger overall performance, highlighting
AI Investment Boom Across the UK is Fuelled More by Fear of Missing out Than Actual Results, According to Expereo1.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Enterprise AI spending is climbing rapidly, with boards racing to deploy the technology faster than they can measure whether it works. According to the latest IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo*, around 70% of organizations are investing in AI, motivated by its potential or by the fear of falling behind the competition, but they lag in disciplined ROI evaluation, and one in five (20%) admit they are investing aggressively in AI with little evaluation, driven by the fear of being left behind. The IDC InfoBrief, based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across Europe, the US, and APAC, found that AI has become one of the most prioritized technology investments globally. When asked which technologies their organization will prioritize in terms of effort and/or financial investment over the next 12 months, 51% of organizations said AI or ML. However, returns are failing to keep pace with the hype. Just 19% of global organizations surveyed say their AI implementations have exceeded ex
