About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single Center, Investigator Initiated Clinical Trial to Evaluate Enhancement of Healing Between Bone Tunnel and Graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury Using Human Umbilical Cord Blood Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell

Purpose:Development of novel strategy for treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury using stem cell.

Read the detailed description
  1. Purpose: Development of novel strategy for treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury using stem cell.
  2. Subject: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury 30 patients
  • ACL reconstruction: 10
  • ACL reconstruction + Human cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells and hyaluronic acid (Cartistem (TM)): 10
  • ACL reconstruction + hyaluronic acid: 10
  1. Hypothesis: Human Cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells can enhance healing between bone tunnel and graft in ACL reconstruction.
Being tested
Cartistem(TM), hyaluronic acid, ACL reconstruction only

What participants receive

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

  • Cartistem(TM)Biological

    ACL reconstruction and injection of Cartstem(TM), human cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell under arthroscopy.

  • hyaluronic acidBiological

    ACL reconstruction and injection of hyaluronic acid under arthroscopy.

  • ACL reconstruction onlyProcedure or surgery

    ACL reconstruction only without any injection under arthroscopy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Arthroscopic grading of graft

    Measured: 48 week after surgery

  2. Telos stress X-ray

    Measured: Changes at 12 week, 24 week, 48 week after surgery

  3. KT-2000

    Measured: Changes at 12 week, 24 week, 48 week after surgery

  4. clinical knee scoring

    Measured: Changes at 12 week, 24 week, 48 week after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cartistem(TM), hyaluronic acid and ACL reconstruction only in people with Deficiency of Anterior Cruciate Ligament, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 inclusion and 18 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 10 Apr 2019. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

Bone formation on interface between bone tunnel and graft (time frame: Changes at 12 week, 24 week, 48 week after surgery). 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 10 Apr 2019.
