What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of intra-articular injection of autologous ADMSCs by incidence of adverse events and alterations in vital signs, blood chemistry profiles, complete blood count, urinalysis, and also the physical examination of the knees.

    Measured: 12 months

  1. Clinical assessment of visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Clinical assessment of Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Clinical assessment of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in people with Osteoarthritis Knee, run by Steminent Biotherapeutics Inc. at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 28 Oct 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Safety of intra-articular injection of autologous ADMSCs by incidence of adverse events and alterations in vital signs, blood chemistry profiles, complete blood count, urinalysis, and also the physical examination of the knees. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Oct 2022.
