Hyalofast + Microfracture for Knee Cartilage Repair
Columbus, Ohio
This trial tests a new treatment for knee cartilage damage using a special pad and concentrated bone marrow cells from the patient. It aims to help patients whose knee cartilage causes symptoms and may not respond to usual treatments. The pad supports the bone marrow cells to heal and regenerate the damaged area. Bone marrow concentrate (BMC) has shown promise in treating knee issues and cartilage repair due to its regenerative potential.

Chondro-Gide® for Knee Cartilage Injury
Hamilton, Ontario
This trial uses a special surgery combined with a protective membrane to treat large knee cartilage damage. It aims to help patients who might not benefit as much from the surgery alone. The treatment encourages new cartilage growth and protects it with the membrane.

JointRep® vs Microfracture for Knee Cartilage Repair
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
This trial is testing whether using JointRep® gel along with a microfracture procedure is better at repairing knee cartilage damage than using microfracture alone. The study focuses on patients with specific knee cartilage issues. The microfracture technique helps new cartilage grow, and JointRep® provides a supportive environment for this growth. Researchers will measure how well the new cartilage forms and its quality over time. JointRep is a bioadhesive hydrogel arthroscopically injected to facilitate cartilage regeneration.

Microfracture vs ADSC for Knee Cartilage Repair
Denver, Colorado
The purpose of this study is to compare two biologic methods for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee. The first method, microfracture, is the standard of care and is routinely used to recruit cells from the subchondral bone marrow to the site of cartilage loss. The second method is the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the defect site. In theory, ADSCs on a collagen scaffold should enable the delivery of more specific progenitor cells to the site of injury, resulting in better regeneration and integration of articular cartilage at the site of a defect as compared to the microfracture method.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added JointRep® vs Microfracture for Knee Cartilage Repair, Chondro-Gide® for Knee Cartilage Injury and Episealer Knee System vs Microfracture Surgery for Osteoarthritis to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
