Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of a person's own cartilage cells and allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, mixed in fibrin glue, is safe and has manageable side effects when used to treat cartilage defects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with specific hip cartilage defects, who can walk unassisted and have tried other treatments without success. They must not be pregnant or planning pregnancy, have a BMI under 35, no recent infections in the target hip, stable health without significant diseases like heart conditions or diabetes, and no history of certain blood disorders or cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new treatment where patients' own cartilage cells are mixed with donor fat-derived stem cells and a special glue to repair damaged hip cartilage. The goal is to see if this mix is safe and what side effects it might cause when used to treat cartilage defects in the hip.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling, infection risks due to surgery, allergic reactions to any of the components used (like fibrin glue), and general surgical risks like bleeding or clotting issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What criteria must an individual meet in order to be eligible for this scientific experiment?

"This clinical trial is accepting 15 participants of ages 18-50 with cartilage damage. A few key prerequisites include a negative pregnancy test for persons of childbearing potential, Tönnis Grade 1 or less radiographic hip OA, at least 6 months have passed since the last target hip intraarticular injection and 12 months since any prior arthroscopic/open hip procedures, clinically stable target hip, 3 month+ previous conservative treatment course (activity modification etc.) with minimal to no improvements in symptoms, ability to walk without assistance."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings for this clinical endeavor at the present time?

"According to the information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is actively seeking participants. It was first advertised on December 1st 2022 and its details were most recently modified on November 21st of that same year."

Answered by AI

Does the protocol for this experiment include individuals over twenty years of age?

"This clinical trial seeks patients between the ages of 18 and 50."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA approved Cartilage Auto/Allo Implantation for Focal Hip Cartilage Defects?

"Our team has assigned a score of 1 to CartiLage Auto/Allo IMplantation for Focal Hip Cartilage Defects as it is currently in the first stage of trials and there are limited clinical data available to suggest safety or efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is the recruitment target for this research trial?

"Affirmative. Records hosted on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrate that this medical experiment, which was initially posted on December 1st 2022, is actively soliciting participants. 15 individuals must be sourced from a single site."
