About this study
Official title: Use of Autologous Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in Painful Knee Osteoarthritis, A Randomized Placebo Controlled Pilot Study
The overall goal of this study is to develop regenerative cell therapy for use in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct a pilot study that assesses the safety and feasibility of using concentrated bone marrow aspirate containing MSC to treat patients with painful knee OA.
Read the detailed description
Patients with symptomatic mild to moderate bilateral knee osteoarthritis will be candidates for this pilot study. Baseline data includes radiographs, MRI imaging, clinical data on knee pain and analysis of synovial fluid inflammatory markers. Bone marrow will be aspirated from the patient's iliac crests and the cellular rich portion will be concentrated. Randomly, one knee will be injected with the bone marrow concentrate. The contralateral knee will be injected with only sterile saline for placebo. Follow-up analysis of synovial fluid will be at one week and 6 months after injection; clinical data will be obtained at 3, 6 and 12 months and MRI imaging will be performed at 6 months after injection, with repeat radiographs at 12 months

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Autologous Bone Marrow Aspirate ConcentrateDrug
Autologous Bone marrow aspirate will be concentrated using Magellan Cell Separator and stem cell kit according to the Standard Operating Procedures is to be injected in the treatment knee. 5ml of treatment cells will be combined with 10 ml of previously separated platelet poor bone marrow plasma and used for injection under ultrasound guidance into one of the subject's painful knees.
Sterile salineDrug
Bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride, preservative free manufactured by Hospira will be injected into the control knee.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Autologous bone marrow concentrate | Experimental | Subjects with symptomatic mild to moderate bilateral knee osteoarthritis will be enrolled in this study. Bone marrow will be aspirated from the patient's iliac crests and the cellular rich portion will be concentrated. Randomly, one knee will be injected with the autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate. The contralateral knee will be injected with only sterile saline for placebo. Receives: Drug: Autologous Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Subjects with symptomatic mild to moderate bilateral knee osteoarthritis will be enrolled in this study. Bone marrow will be aspirated from the patient's iliac crests and the cellular rich portion will be concentrated. Randomly, one knee will be injected with the bone marrow concentrate. The contralateral knee will be injected with only sterile saline for placebo. Receives: Drug: Sterile saline |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Subjects with Adverse Reactions to Concentrated Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Occurrence of adverse reactions to concentrated MSCs from bone marrow aspiration injected into knee joints.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mean Knee Cartilage
Knee cartilage status will be measured prior to injection, at 6 months following injection, and at 12 months following injection. The cartilage will be measured by MRI at baseline and 6 months using MRI and cartilage sequencing techniques, and knee radiographs at 12 months.
Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Autologous Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Sterile saline in people with Bilateral Primary Osteoarthritis of Knee, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.
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 6 inclusion and 9 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 5 May 2017. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Number of Subjects with Adverse Reactions to Concentrated Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01931007, which also lists 2 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 5 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
