About this study
Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Cellular Distribution of [89Zr]-Oxine-NCR100 Injection in the Treatment of Subjects With Knee Osteoarthritis
This clinical study is to evaluate the biodistribution of [89Zr]-Oxine-NCR100 injection in subjects with knee osteoarthritis after local injection and the kinetic behavior characteristics of zirconium-labeled cells at the injection site and various organs or tissues. It is a single-dose, open-label study in adult KOA subjects.
Read the detailed description
Knee osteoarthritis(KOA) is a kind of degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation loss of articular cartilage and subchondral bone remodeling. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the biodistribution of 89Zr-labeled human pluripotent stem cell derived mesenchymal stromal cells ([89Zr]-Oxine-NCR100) injection in subjects with knee osteoarthritis after local injection and the kinetic behavior characteristics of the zirconium-labeled cells at the injection site and in various organs or tissues.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing NCR100 in people with KOA, run by Nuwacell Biotechnologies Co., Ltd..
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 2 inclusion and 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
The Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) and %ID (time frame: Day2, Day8,Day12,and Day22). 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 Aug 2025.
