Fetuin-A and COMP levels in knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee osteoarthritis diagnosed by a doctor using standard criteria.
- Your knee osteoarthritis is moderate to severe (grade 2, 3, or 4 on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale).
- You are willing to give a blood sample and sign a consent form.
- You have not had knee surgery or a major knee injury.
- You do not have other inflammatory diseases, diabetes, or active infections.

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.
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 tests a new way to treat knee osteoarthritis using a patient's own fat tissue. The fat is processed with a special device and then injected into the knee to see if it helps reduce pain and improve joint function.
This trial compares using cells from your bone marrow or belly fat to treat knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain and improve function. It's for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
This study tests whether an anti-inflammatory diet can help with knee osteoarthritis. If you have OA in one knee and are open to changing your eating habits, you may be able to join.
This study tracks patients with knee arthritis who undergo a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive option for those not ready for or not eligible for knee replacement. The goal is to see how well GAE works for pain relief.
