Some older info concerning one of LCAR's products. Just dreaming here, maybe there's some developments requiring the need for all that new inventory they're getting :)

"A phase II study of Catrix-S in solid tumors.

Romano CF, Lipton A, Harvey HA, Simmonds MA, Romano PJ, Imboden SL.
Catrix-S is an acidic mucopolysaccharide complex derived from bovine tracheal cartilage. This material was administered by weekly subcutaneous injection (5.0-7.5 g/week) to nine patients with progressive metastatic malignancy. One complete response was seen in a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the lungs. Eight patients had progression of their disease. No undue toxicity and no consistent immunologic alteration was noted."

"Catrix: an easy-to-use collagen treatment for wound healing.
Collagen plays a major role in wound healing. Its presence is important in all stages of the healing process. Catrix is a new collagen wound-healing powder that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of wounds healing by secondary intent such as pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers and diabetic ulcers as well as second-degree burns and post-radiation dermatitis. Catrix has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of wounds unresponsive to conventional treatments. It promotes the growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the wound, prevents loss of fluid from the wound and protects the wound from bacterial infections and other agents. Catrix is biodegradable and therefore does not require removal from the wound bed before re-application."
