Recruiting studies
- NCT07339111RecruitingPhase 3
CARTISTEM vs surgery for knee cartilage damage and osteoarthritis
This trial tests if a cell-based treatment called CARTISTEM can repair knee cartilage better than surgery alone. It involves people with knee osteoarthritis and a cartilage defect, with moderate pain and limited function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06809231Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of CartiONE for knee cartilage repair
This study follows people who had CartiONE treatment for a knee cartilage lesion more than 6 months ago. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is over 1 to 13 years.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07575555Recruiting
Lipedema's role in knee arthritis in women
This study compares women with knee arthritis who do or don't have lipedema (a condition causing painful fat buildup, usually in the legs) to understand how lipedema affects knee joint health. Results may help doctors better treat knee arthritis in women with lipedema.
Izmir, İzmirAges 30–65 - NCT06915363Recruiting
BioPoly implant for knee cartilage repair
This trial tests a BioPoly implant to repair a small damaged cartilage spot in your knee. If you have a specific type of cartilage injury that didn't get better with other treatments, this implant may help relieve pain and improve function.
Fort Wayne, IndianaAges 30–65 - NCT07639424RecruitingPhase 4
New cartilage regeneration treatment for knee repair
This study tests a new platform to help repair damaged knee cartilage. If your knee has a specific type of cartilage damage, this treatment might help restore function and reduce pain.
Daegu, DaeguAges 19–64 - NCT06893302Recruiting
Bone marrow injection during knee scope for cartilage or meniscus
This trial tests if adding a bone marrow injection to standard knee arthroscopy helps your knee heal better. It is for people with a torn meniscus or damaged cartilage who have healthy knee joints without arthritis.
New York, New YorkAges 18–64 - NCT07249489Recruiting
New implant for knee cartilage repair
This study tests a new type of implant designed to repair damaged knee cartilage. It may be an option for people with a knee injury who are generally healthy and not taking certain medications.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 22–60 - NCT07094100Recruiting
Repairing knee cartilage with lab-grown tissue
This study tests whether lab-made cartilage can safely and effectively repair knee joint damage in adults. It may be an option if you have a cartilage defect from an injury or other cause and haven't had recent knee surgery.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18–65 - NCT06249906Recruiting
Bioceramic material for bone defect repair
This trial tests a new bioceramic material to repair bone defects. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 who are generally healthy and can follow the study plan.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT05660161Recruiting
Knee cartilage repair using a new nanofracture technique
This trial studies a newer surgical technique (called “nanofractures”) to repair cartilage defects in the knee. It may help restore cartilage where the joint surface is damaged, as part of planned knee surgery.
LuganoAges 16–50 - NCT06490770Recruiting
Understanding knee pain and function
This study looks at how your knee joint works when you have pain or limited function. It uses MRI and electrical stimulation to learn more about cartilage and meniscus damage, which might help improve future treatments.
BolognaAges 18–60 - NCT03588975RecruitingPhase 3
MACI transplant for knee cartilage defects in ages 10 to 17
This Phase 3 study tests whether a cartilage repair transplant called MACI (a lab-made cartilage-like tissue) can improve symptoms in young people with knee cartilage damage. It compares a surgery approach chosen for each person, aiming to reduce pain and improve knee function.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT06981741RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell treatment for knee cartilage damage
This trial tests whether a new stem cell treatment, given during a surgical procedure, can help repair damaged cartilage in the knee. It is for people with moderate to severe knee pain and a specific size of cartilage injury.
AltenburgAges 18–60 - NCT06344481Recruiting
Testing a new knee cartilage implant for pain relief
This trial tests a new implant (Hyalex) designed to repair damaged knee cartilage in people ages 21 to 65. If you have a painful cartilage defect that hasn't improved with standard treatments, this study may offer a new option to restore your knee surface.
LodzAges 21–65 - NCT06368700Recruiting
Testing a new knee cartilage implant (HYALEX)
This study is testing a new implant called HYALEX to repair cartilage damage in the knee. It may help people with painful knee cartilage defects that haven't gotten better with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 22–70 - NCT05942430Recruiting
Bone-cartilage transplant for ankle joint cartilage damage
This trial studies an “autologous” transplant, meaning using your own bone and cartilage, to treat painful cartilage damage in the ankle (on the talus). It may help people whose ankle cartilage injury is deep, has not improved with non-surgical care, and meets specific side and health requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–60 - NCT06216756Recruiting
Frozen cartilage transplant for knee cartilage defects
This trial tests a frozen cartilage transplant (called an osteochondral allograft) for people with painful knee cartilage defects. It aims to see if this procedure can help relieve pain and improve knee function.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12–60 - NCT06400862RecruitingPhase 1
Treating knee cartilage damage with lab-grown bone marrow tissue
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own bone marrow cells to grow a piece of tissue to repair damaged knee cartilage. It's for people with a single, medium-sized cartilage injury on the thigh bone part of the knee joint that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
JordonAges 18–60 - NCT06823089Recruiting
Study of a new hip implant for cartilage repair
This trial tests a new implant called ReNew Hip Implant to repair damaged cartilage in the hip joint. It may be an option if you have hip pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
St Louis, MissouriAges 14–64

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for knee cartilage lesions?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting knee cartilage lesions studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a knee cartilage lesions trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a knee cartilage lesions trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
