Study Summary

This trial will compare the clinical outcomes of two different interventions for treating knee osteoarthritis: PRP (standard intervention) and Microfragmented adipose tissue (investigational). The hypothesis is that both interventions will result in significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes, but that Microfragmented adipose tissue will provide superior outcomes.

Eligible Conditions
  • Platelet Rich Plasma
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Microfragmented Adipose Tissue

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Platelet Rich PlasmaActive Control1 Intervention
157cc of whole blood will be harvested via standard venipuncture from the antecubital fossa and mixed with 24cc ACD-A (manufacturer recommends 8cc ACD-A per 52cc of whole blood). 156ml of whole blood will be processed in the FDA Cleared Angel cPRP system at 2% hematocrit. 1ml of whole blood and the resultant PRP will be analyzed in the Sysmex XN-350 for complete analysis (platelet, leukocyte, red blood cell counts). The remaining PRP will be injected under sterile technique using ultrasound-guidance through a superolateral approach. For patient comfort, 2cc of 1% lidocaine can be administered using a 26-gauge needle (into soft tissues only). PRP will then be injected using a 25-guage needle. A maximum of 6ml of PRP will be injected. Injection site will be cleaned and bandaged and patient will be dismissed with post-injection precautions and 1 month follow-up scheduled.
Group II: Microfragmented adipose tissueActive Control1 Intervention
Adipose is aspirated from the subcutaneous tissue of the buttock or abdomen. Aspiration site is injected with 10ml 1% lidocaine with epinephrine. A small poke incision is made with an 11-blade scalpel. Then 120ml of Klein solution is injected into the adipose tissue. Solution sits for 15 minutes to allow for adequate anesthesia. Aspiration cannula is inserted and moved in a back and forth motion for 2 minutes to allow for adipose aspiration. 30ml fat will be aspirated. Aspiration site is cleaned and bandaged. The aspirated fat is processed using the Lipogems system. 30ml of adipose is transferred to the device, saline is run through the device to remove oils and then approximately 5-7ml of adipose tissue is removed and ready for injection. The Microfragmented adipose tissue are then injected in identical fashion to the PRP above.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

Stiffness and pain in knees. I am considering any and all treatment modalities other than surgery.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I am looking for alternatives to future knee replacements. I have had partial medial meniscectomies in both knees. I take nSaids daily to relieve pain, and would like to reduce their use.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
