Study Summary

This trial will test the safety and efficacy of TG-C, given by intra-articular injection, in patients with OA of the knee.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40 or older with moderate knee osteoarthritis (Grade 2 or 3), not too thin or overweight, and experiencing significant pain. Participants must consent to the study's terms and use birth control if applicable. Exclusions include severe knee swelling, certain MRI findings, recent injections in the knee, other serious health conditions, drug/alcohol abuse history, and specific medications taken recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests TG-C's safety and effectiveness against a placebo in improving knee osteoarthritis symptoms. TG-C is given as a one-time injection into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance. The trial will follow patients for two years to see how well it works compared to a dummy treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While side effects are not detailed here, typical risks of intra-articular injections may include pain at the injection site, infection risk increase due to needle insertion into the joint space, allergic reactions to components of TG-C or potential systemic effects depending on its nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Why did researchers design this experiment in this way?

"The primary outcome that will be measured to assess the efficacy of this treatment intervention over a one year period is change in knee pain as assessed by VAS. Additionally, the WOMAC Total Score (which evaluates knee function), MRI assessment of target knee (to look for features of OA), and PCS of the SF-12 Questionnaire (physical component score measuring HRQoL) will be used as secondary measures."

Answered by AI

Just wondering, how many test subjects are you all the way through with?

"In order to carry out this experiment, 510 eligible participants are needed. The sponsor, Kolon TissueGene, Inc., has chosen multiple sites including Investigative Site in Lincoln, Nebraska and The Center for Pharmaceutical Research in Kansas City, Missouri."
