About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study to Assess Safety & Tolerability of a Single Injection Into the Knee Joint of Two Different Doses of MSB-CAR001 Combined With Hyaluronan Compared to Hyaluronan Alone in Patients Who Have Undergone an ACL Reconstruction

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of MSB-CAR001 in subjects who have recently undergone an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single center, randomized, double blind, controlled Phase 1b/2a study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single injection into the knee joint of two different doses of MPCs combined with Hyaluronan compared to Hyaluronan alone in patients who have recently undergone an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

All subjects in this study have undergone unilateral ACL reconstruction surgery within six months of injury. MSB-CAR001 plus Hyaluronan at one of two doses or Hyaluronan alone will be injected into the knee joint.

After the screening and injection visits, each subject will be evaluated clinically within 3 days and 28 days after surgery, and at 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery. The radiographical exams will be performed at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery.

Subjects will be evaluated at 24 months after surgery for safety.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the overall safety of MSB-CAR001 plus carrier using physical examinations, vital signs, treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and the results of clinical lab tests (hematology, serum chemistry, inflammation, and immunology).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the overall efficacy with MSB-CAR001 plus Hyaluronan compared to Hyaluronan alone using MRI scans and x-ray of the involved knee joint and access the change in outcomes (KOOS, SF-36) and pain (VAS)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing MSB-CAR001 Combined With Hyaluronan and Hyaluronan in people with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Osteoarthritis, run by Mesoblast, Ltd. at 1 site in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the overall safety of MSB-CAR001 plus carrier using physical examinations, vital signs, treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and the results of clinical lab tests (hematology, serum chemistry, inflammation, and immunology). (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01088191, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2018.
