Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 13, 2017, Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cytori”) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved an investigator-initiated trial of Cytori Cell Therapy™ in up to 25 patients with bilateral osteonecrosis of the hip. This U.S. trial is designed to assess the ability of Cytori Cell Therapy to provide benefit in patients with osteonecrosis of the hip. The hope is that improved formation of new bone and blood vessels within the diseased hip will lead to more robust bone regeneration and thereby delay or even eliminate the need for later hip replacement surgery. The Company is supporting the trial by providing clinical materials and technical support, and believes that the first patient may be enrolled by the end of 2017.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements regarding events, trends and business prospects, which may affect Cytori’s future operating results and financial position. Such statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the potential that improved formation of new bone and blood vessels will lead to more robust bone regeneration in patients with osteonecrosis and the anticipated timing of enrollment of the osteonecrosis trial, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause Cytori’s actual results and financial position to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties, which include inherent uncertainties in conduct of clinical studies and trials and the results of such trials (including risks that further studies may not support efficacy or safety of Cytori Cell Therapy), risks associated with clinical use of Cytori Cell Therapy in studies and trials not controlled by Cytori, risks to Cytori’s intellectual property portfolio (including the risk that independent investigators using Cytori’s technology or their employers may file for patent or other intellectual property that would not be owned by Cytori and may be competitive with or conflict with Cytori’s technology and pipeline) are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Cytori’s Securities and Exchange Commission Filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Cytori assumes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events, trends or circumstances after the date they are made.
