About this study

Official title: Clinical Effects of Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cell Infusion in Knee Osteoarthritis.

Patients with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, that meet inclusion criteria will be allocated into two groups:

  • The control group will receive Acetaminophen 750mg orally every 8 hours
  • The experimental group will receive Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells from bone marrow (BMASC)
Read more

Signed informed consent is required, as well as answering a questionnaire.

Patients in experimental group will receive subcutaneous G-CSF (10ug/kg/day) for 3 consecutive days and, on the 4th day a bone marrow harvest under general sedation will be performed from posterior iliac crests. The patient will remain in the recovery room while the cells are processed at the Hematology Service Laboratory. Finally, BMASC will be infused to the joint under local anesthesia.

The procedure is ambulatory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Define safety of BM extraction and stem cell joint infusion.

    Measure possible complications of procedure (e.g. pain, bleeding, infection) and range of motion through clinical examination.

    Apply a questionnaire consisting of validated Womac® Scale, KSS® (Knee Society Rating System), SF-36® (Health Survey Update), and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) to correlate changes at first week to the baseline questionnaire.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Efficacy of BMSC joint infusion at 4 weeks

    Measure possible complications of procedure (e.g. pain, bleeding, infection) and range of motion through clinical examination.

    Apply a questionnaire consisting of validated Womac® Scale, KSS® (Knee Society Rating System), SF-36® (Health Survey Update), and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) to correlate changes with first week and baseline questionnaires.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Efficacy and final outcome of BMSC joint infusion at 6 months.

    Measure possible complications of procedure (e.g. pain, bleeding, infection) and range of motion through clinical examination.

    Apply a questionnaire consisting of validated Womac® Scale, KSS® (Knee Society Rating System), SF-36® (Health Survey Update), and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) to correlate changes with 4 week, first week and baseline questionnaires.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bone Marrow Autologous Stem Cells Infusion and Acetaminophen in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by Hospital Universitario Dr. Jose E. Gonzalez at 2 sites in Mexico.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 1 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Mexico. 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 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.

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?

Define safety of BM extraction and stem cell joint infusion. (time frame: 1 week). 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 NCT01485198, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 1 Mar 2016.
