Study Summary
This trial is testing a new stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis to see if it is more effective and safe than a placebo. 140 people will be randomly assigned to receive either the treatment or the placebo, and the trial will last 48 weeks.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with knee osteoarthritis who have significant pain and limited function in one knee, but less severe symptoms in the other. They must not have used certain medications or treatments recently and should be free of serious health issues like heart disease or cancer. Participants cannot have had stem cell therapy before and must agree to avoid specific pain medications during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing JointStem, a treatment using patient's own fat-derived stem cells, against a placebo. About 140 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either JointStem or a placebo injection in their knees. The study aims to determine if JointStem can improve knee function and reduce pain more effectively than a placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed here, but may include reactions at the injection site, infection risk due to immune system changes from stem cell therapy, allergic reactions to components of the treatment, or complications from liposuction required to harvest adipose tissue.
