Brief Summary:

Although the majority of tibial fractures heal normally, some fractures may not heal within the usual time frame and is known as delayed bone healing within 4 to 6 months and absence of bone healing within 9 to 12 months in the most severe case of. Several factors can increase the risks of delayed healing complications like, for example, smoking, violent shocks (for example, due to a road accident) or even the type of fracture (an open fracture). The location of the fracture is also an important factor: among the bones of the arms and legs, the tibia is known for being the most at risk for complications. At tibial fracture with several risk factors could lead to delayed complications and interfere with patient daily life and reduce the quality of life.

The study drug, ALLOB®, is constituted of bone cells produced from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. Preclinical studies have shown that ALLOB® cells are capable of forming bone and repairing fractures. When directly injected into a fracture, ALLOB® should therefore promote the healing of the fracture by re-establishing a healthy environment and stimulating bone production. To date, there is no treatment for fractures considered at risk of delayed complications. The current practice on diagnosis of complications is to wait at least 6-12 months before considering alternative interventions to promote fracture healing. The injection of ALLOB® quickly after the fracture should stimulate bone healing, reduce healing time, reduce complications, and improve the quality of life for the patient. ALLOB® has already shown preliminary evidence of effectiveness in the treatment of delayed bone healing fractures (ALLOB-DU1 clinical trial), including tibial fractures (8 patients). With this study, the Sponsor will evaluate whether ALLOB® promotes the healing of tibial fractures compared with placebo.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. proportion of subjects with a radiological success at Week 12 [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    A radiological success is defined as a subject with a Radiological Union Score for Tibia (RUST) above the threshold value predictive of a normal bone healing.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of subjects with radiological success at Week 16, Week 20 and Month 6 [ Time Frame: 16 weeks - 20 weeks - 6 months ]
    A radiological success is defined as a subject with a Radiological Union Score for Tibia (RUST) above the threshold value predictive of a normal bone healing.

  2. Change in Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) at Week 12, Week 16, Week 20 and Month 6 compared to baseline visit [ Time Frame: weeks 12 - 16 - 20 - 6 months ]
    Radiological fracture healing is defined by a radiological fracture union evaluated and adjudicated by Independent Radiologists.
