About this study

Official title: Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plus autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis.

Read the detailed description

This is a single centered, randomized, single blind phase II clinical study. Patients will be divided into two groups of case and control. Patients of case group will receive intra-articular injection of autologous BMSCs suspended in 3 ml autologous PRP for 3 times, patients of control group will receive intra-articular injection of 3 ml of autologous PRP for 3 times. The investigators designed this clinical study to evaluate therapeutic effects of BM-MSCs in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis.

Being tested
Auotologous BMSCs plus autologous PRP, Auotologous PRP
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Auotologous BMSCs plus autologous PRPBiological

    30 mL of bone marrow will be aspirated from the iliac crests of patients in case group. BMSCs will be isolated from bone marrow and cultured. Before injection, 30 mL of blood will be collected from each patient to produce 3ml PRP by cenrifugation. Cultured BMSCs will be collected and suspended by 3ml autologous PRP.

  • Auotologous PRPBiological

    30 mL of blood will be collected from each patient to produce 3ml PRP by cenrifugation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physical function change

    Evaluation the physical function change Measured by WOMAC osteoarthritis index.

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

  2. Change in pain density

    Evaluation the changing of pain density measured by Visual Analogue Scale. Draw a 10 cm horizontal line on the paper. One end of the line is 0, indicating no pain; the other end is 10, indicating severe pain; and the middle part indicates varying degrees of pain. The patient selects a point from the horizontal line and the length from 0 to this point is the Visual Analogue Scale score.

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cartilage repair

    Evaluation of cartilage repair under MRI. Recht criterion was used for grading articular cartilage injury of knee joint, including 0-IV grade, in which: 0 grade, normal articular cartilage, no obvious abnormal signal was found; 1 grade, the layered structure of cartilage disappeared, and there were focal low signal areas, but the surface was smooth; 2 grade, the surface of cartilage was irregular, the depth of cartilage injury was less than 50% cartilage thickness; 3 grade, the surface of cartilage was heavy. The degree of injury is irregular, the depth of injury is more than 50% of the thickness of cartilage or through the whole layer, but the surface of cartilage is not completely exfoliated; Grade IV, full-thickness cartilage defect, articular cartilage injury deep to the cortex, subchondral bone exposed.

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

  2. Change in MOS item short from health survey(SF-36)

    Evaluation of the health-related quality of life change Measured by MOS item short from health survey(SF-36) after each cell injection. SF-36 is a self-administered questionnaire comprising 36-items measuring eight dimensions of general HRQOL: physical functioning (10 items), role limitation due to physical health problems (4 items), bodily pain (2 items), general health perceptions (5 items), vitality (4 items), social functioning (2 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (3 items), and general mental health (5 items).These outcomes will be grouped as physical component summary and mental component summary. The norm data is 0-100, the health related quality of life is increases as the scores are increased. The average score is 50.

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

  3. Change in Lequesne Index

    Evaluation of severity of knee symptoms Lequesne Index includes the measurement of pain (5 items), walking distance (2 items), and activities of daily living (4 items). Maximal score is 24 and higher scores represent worse function

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

  4. Change in knee society score (KSS)

    The knee society score is divided into four parts: it consists of the ''Symptoms''(25 points), the ''Patient satisfaction''(40 points), the ''Patient expectation''(15 points) and the ''Functional activities''(100 points). Each part will be evaluated separately.Higher scores indicate better knee score/satisfaction/functioning or higher expectations.

    Measured: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Auotologous BMSCs plus autologous PRP and Auotologous PRP in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2024. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Due to government regulation). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Physical function change (time frame: From before randomization until 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment start.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jan 2024.
