Condition

Osteoarthritis

Treatment

N/A

Clinical Study ID

NCT04612023
8212
  • Ages 21-80
  • All Genders

Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection when compared to a placebo.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is a candidate for non-surgical intervention of the knee
  • Patient must be between the ages of 21 and 80 years old
  • Patient must have a diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee defined as grade 1 to 3 on the Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has a diagnosis of osteoarthritis with a Kellgren-Lawrence grade of 4
  • Patient has a BMI greater than 40 kg/m2, active infection at the injection site,symptomatic OA of the contralateral knee or of either hip that is not responsive toacetaminophen (Tylenol) and requires other therapy
  • Patient has rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis or diagnosis with any otherdisorder that is the primary source of their knee pain
  • Patient has an autoimmune disease or known history of having Acquired ImmunodeficiencySyndrome (AIDS) or HIV
  • Patient has any of the following treatments to the target knee within 12 weeks priorto screening
  • Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection
  • Steroid or platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection
  • Use of any investigational drug, device, or biologic
  • Patient had or is planning to have major surgery or arthroscopy in the target kneewithin 26 weeks of treatment
  • Patient has a history of partial or total knee arthroplasty
  • Patient has undergone immunotherapy or chemotherapy in the last 5 years, priorradiation at the site, or is currently taking a narcotic medication for any reason

Study Description

It is a prospective, double blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial study. Data will be prospectively collected of all injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft knee performed at our institute (1 vs 2 mL).

90 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 in treatment arms.

It compares the dose affect of an amniotic membrane allograft between a 1 mL dose and a 2 mL dose when compared to a placebo of sterile saline in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. This will be offered as a free pain management alternative to patients who meet the inclusion criteria. The results will be determined by validated patient-reported outcome tools (KOOS, VAS, and WOMAC questionnaires) and physical examinations taken before the injection, one month after the injection, three months after the injection, six months after the injection, and one year after the injection. There will be a phone call 24 hours after the injection for every patient participating in the study regarding any potential adverse events.
