Blood markers for knee osteoarthritis severity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study measures two proteins in your blood (COMP and MMP-3) to see if they can help doctors understand how severe knee osteoarthritis is. Researchers compare people with knee arthritis to people without it to learn if these blood tests might help diagnose or track the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (confirmed by X-ray, mild to moderate severity)
- You have no history of knee surgery, serious infections in the knee, or cancer
- You have not had steroid injections or PRP injections in your knee in the last 3 months
- You do not have rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or other inflammatory joint diseases
- You are able to understand the study and provide written consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis or other types of knee arthritis progress over time, using blood tests and X-rays. It aims to find markers that could predict whether the disease will get worse, which may help guide treatment decisions.
This study examines whether certain blood cell patterns can predict who will benefit most from platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—an injection treatment made from your own blood—for knee osteoarthritis. If your blood markers match certain patterns, you may be more likely to experience pain relief and improved function.
This study looks at two substances in the blood (fetuin-A and COMP) to see if they are linked to knee osteoarthritis severity. Results may help understand the disease better.
This study looks at proteins in the blood to understand knee health. It is for adults over 50 who do not have knee pain.
This study tests if a special concentrate made from your own bone marrow can help reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe knee arthritis and haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to see how well they can detect and track knee osteoarthritis. Healthy volunteers and people with moderate knee osteoarthritis are both needed to compare their knee images.
