Study Summary

This trial tests if a therapy using the patient's own cells helps knee osteoarthritis pain & inflammation. 50 patients tested, then 4,000 more.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-90 with knee pain from osteoarthritis (grade 2 or higher) for over 6 months. Participants should have good immune, kidney, blood coagulation, heart and lung function. Excluded are those with recent steroid injections or strokes, heavy NSAID use before the procedure, certain cancers within 5 years, severe obesity (BMI >40), infections including hepatitis B/C or HIV, gout conditions and strong opioid use recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of autologous cell therapy using StroMed combined with platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus PRP alone in reducing knee pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis. It's an open-label trial starting with 50 patients followed by a larger group of up to 4,000 participants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, similar therapies may cause injection site reactions like pain or swelling; risk of infection; allergic reactions; temporary increase in inflammation; bleeding due to blood thinning effect of PRP.
