Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Multi-center Safety and Feasibility Study in Patients With Documented Grade II Hamstring Tears Treated With Intramuscularly Delivered Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells - RECOVER

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of adipose-derived regenerative cells injected into
tears of the hamstring muscle.

The RECOVER Clinical Trial is a prospective, randomized, multi-center device trial intended
to assess safety and feasibility, and inform dose selection in preparation for a pivotal
trial. Subjects that have Grade II tears of the hamstring will be evaluated for eligibility
in this study.

Part A of the trial will be an open-label, safety, feasibility and dose-escalation study to
assess whether the treatment approach (liposuction, cell processing and injection) is
feasible in athletic patients at one or both doses of ADRCs.

Part B of the trial is contingent on successful completion of Part A and is a multicenter,
randomized, double blind trial of both doses of ADRCs vs. placebo.

In both parts of the study, following informed consent and screening evaluations, eligible
subjects will undergo pre-operative testing. Subjects will then undergo liposuction under
general or local anesthesia. Lipoaspirate will be processed in the Celution System to
isolate and concentrate ADRCs for immediate intramuscular administration under ultrasound
guidance.

The first 5 patients of Part A will receive 0.2 million cells/kg body weight (maximum of 20
million cells) while the second 5 patients will receive 0.4 million cells/kg body weight
(maximum of 40 million cells).

If the study is shown to be safe and feasible in Part A then patients in Part B of the study
will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of ADRCs or a visually-matched placebo
in a 1:1:1 ratio. If they receive the placebo they will undergo a liposuction and sham
intramuscular injection procedure in which they will receive placebo.Part B will receive
placebo, 0.2 million cells/kg body weight (maximum of 20 million cells), or 0.4 million
cells/kg body weight (maximum of 40 million cells).

Patients in Part A of the study will be followed through to 90 days post-procedure. Patients
in Part B of the study will be followed through to 24 months post-procedure.
