Medicine aims to help regrowing growth cartilage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a treatment intended to affect the growth plate—the cartilage area that helps bones grow—in people who still are growing. It looks at whether changing signals in the growth plate can improve healing or regrowth after surgery removes part of that area as part of routine care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be still growing (not fully grown) based on your growth plates
- You must be having a surgery where the growth plate cartilage is removed as a normal part of the procedure OR your surgery removes bone normally
- This study is for people who are skeletally immature (typically children or teens, but some adults can qualify if not fully grown)
- You likely will need tissue taken or addressed during your planned surgery for the study treatment to work
- People who are already skeletally mature are not eligible

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.
This study looks at how a child’s growth plate grows during and after a temporary growth plate procedure. It may help doctors better time and plan treatment for children whose leg alignment or leg length differs.
This trial tests two ways to repair damaged knee cartilage in young people: one uses your own cartilage cells grown in a lab (MACI), and the other is a standard procedure called microfracture. The goal is to see which works better to reduce pain and improve knee function, and to help you get back to normal activities.
This study is looking at ways to help repair or regrow damaged cartilage, which is the tissue that cushions joints. It may help reduce pain and improve joint function.
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.
This trial compares two surgical techniques (a plate versus a screw) to guide growth in children with bowlegs or knock-knees, aiming to gradually straighten the leg. It may help your child have a more normal leg alignment without major surgery.
