About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single-blind, Phase II Clinical Trial to Compare ReJoinTM (Autologous Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells)to Sodium Hyaluronate Injection for the Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis Cartilage Defects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ReJoinTM for the Knee Osteoarthritis patients with Cartilage Defects comparing to Sodium Hyaluronate Injection.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, single-blind,phase II clinical trial.

At least 28 subjects who are with a clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis cartilage defects will be randomly distributed 1:1 to the treatment group or the control group after signing the ICF and screening tests.The treatment will accept ReJoinTM at the first and fourth week,and Sodium Hyaluronate Injection at the second and third week.The control group will accept Sodium Hyaluronate Injection weekly ,and four injections in total.The duration of the therapy is 48 weeks.

In addition, external control will be added if necessary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ReJoinTM and Sodium Hyaluronate in people with Defect of Articular Cartilage and Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Shanghai AbelZeta Ltd. 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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

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?

WOMAC scores (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 NCT02855073, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Dec 2018.
