Program for severe knee arthritis and extreme weight
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This feasibility study tests a practical approach to help people with very severe knee arthritis and very high body weight. It aims to find an effective and safe way to manage both conditions together in real-world care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 45 and 60.
- You have not had a full knee replacement on the same knee before.
- You do not need knee replacement surgery on both knees at the same time.
- In the last week, your worst knee pain was 60 mm or less on a 0–100 pain scale.

This study looks at how well total knee replacement works for people who have severe knee arthritis and a bow-leg (varus) deformity. It may help you if you have a lot of knee pain and are considering surgery.
This study compares a new plastic-and-metal knee implant to a standard metal one for people with severe knee arthritis. If you need a total knee replacement and your knee is not too bent or twisted, you may be a candidate.
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
This trial is for people with severe obesity and bad knee arthritis who are waiting for both knee replacement and weight loss surgery. It will help figure out which surgery should happen first to get the best results.
This trial looks at how to support long-term weight loss and improve how your body handles fat breakdown. It may help people who have severe obesity after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, but it has several health and lifestyle limits.
This study tests an experimental medicine called KBP-336 for people with both obesity and knee osteoarthritis who still have significant knee pain despite standard treatments. It aims to see if KBP-336 can reduce pain and improve function.
