SVF Trial Summary
This trial is testing a single injection of a person's own fat cells to treat knee osteoarthritis after an injury.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-45 who've had significant knee trauma or surgery between 1 and 20 years ago, leading to Post-Trauma Osteoarthritis (PTOA). They should have ongoing knee pain despite trying at least two treatments like medication or physical therapy. Participants need a BMI under 35, speak English, and be able to attend follow-up visits. Pregnant women, tobacco users, those with recent knee injections or certain medical conditions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and feasibility of a single injection of autologous Adipose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) in treating knee PTOA. It's a before-after study conducted at two sites where participants' own processed fat tissue is used to potentially repair their injured knees.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for SVF treatment in this summary, similar procedures may cause pain at the injection site, swelling, infection risk increase and possible allergic reactions to local anesthetics used during the procedure.

Why did patients apply to this trial?
do not want knee replacement if possible. Pain in knees from a motorcycle accident when I was in my 20’s.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have tried to get adequate pain relief with several otc and rx for osteo arthritis but I haven't had any good results due to my being on Eliquis for DVT.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I have had more than a year of Physical Therapy, Alternate Steroid and Synvisc Injections Meloxicam and all OTC meds. My Pain at on movement is 10, For Bilateral Knee Triple Compartmental Osteoarthritis, I know have worsening Spinal Arthritis as well. I entered another trial for that. I was checking for Spinal Arthritis trials and found this one. As its not covered by Insurance I cant afford to have my NP organize it with a Dr in her Practice who offers it.
