New cartilage regeneration treatment for knee repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 19 and 64 years old
- Have a moderate-to-severe cartilage defect in one knee (ICRS grade 3 or 4, sized between 5–10 cm²)
- Your knee damage should be the type that typically needs microfracture surgery
- No severe arthritis, inflammatory joint disease, or major ligament tears in the target knee
- No history of cartilage surgery on this knee (diagnostic looking-only is okay)
- Not currently on immunosuppressive medications or have serious conditions like cancer, heart disease, or autoimmune disease

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 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 compares two surgical techniques to repair large cartilage or bone defects in the knee, which can cause pain and limit movement. If you have a significant knee injury that hasn't improved with other treatments, you may be able to join and help find which method works best.
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 study tests a new implant made from your own cells to repair damaged knee cartilage. It aims to reduce pain and improve knee function by replacing the damaged area with a living implant.
This study tests a surgery that uses a small piece of your own healthy cartilage to repair a damaged area in your knee. It aims to help people with severe knee cartilage damage who are already planning to have surgery.
