EB-OC Repair for Knee Cartilage Defects
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment (EB-OC) for repairing damaged cartilage and underlying bone in the knee. If you have one or two painful, full-thickness cartilage defects and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower.
- You have one or two full-thickness cartilage tears on the round ends of your thigh bone (femoral condyles) or the groove where the kneecap slides (trochlea).
- The damaged area is between the size of a pea and a quarter (0.75 to 3 cm²).
- You are willing to follow a strict rehab program and avoid narcotic pain pills for six months after surgery.

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.
This study looks at how well certain types of knee cartilage repair work, using clinical check-ins and imaging (scans). You may be able to help researchers understand which method restores knee surface cartilage best.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to repair large areas of damaged cartilage and the bone under it in the knee. It’s for people who still have symptoms despite non-surgical treatment, and it may help improve recovery and knee function.
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 observational study follows people with a specific knee cartilage injury from osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) to see how they do after standard care and rehab. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what changes happen over follow-up.
This Phase 2 study tests CartiLife® to help repair a specific type of damaged knee cartilage. You may be considered if you have a moderate-sized cartilage defect in the knee and enough pain and function limits to need treatment.
