Knee cartilage replacement for osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new procedure to replace the damaged cartilage in your knee with healthy cartilage, which may help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with advanced knee arthritis who want to stay active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the knee, specifically grade III or IV (advanced).
- Your knee is stable (no abnormal looseness or severe bowing).
- You want to keep an active lifestyle.
- You have not had knee surgery in the last six months.
- You do not have poorly controlled diabetes, chronic kidney disease (on dialysis), or severe osteoporosis.

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 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 trial tests a new cell-based treatment (CLS2901C) for knee osteoarthritis. It combines the treatment with a realignment surgery (proximal tibial osteotomy) to help repair cartilage damage and reduce pain.
This trial tests a new graft made from lab-grown cartilage to treat knee pain under the kneecap. It compares the graft to standard surgery for people with moderate-to-severe kneecap arthritis who haven't improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a lab-grown cartilage implant for people with arthritis behind the kneecap. It aims to reduce pain and improve knee function.
This trial tests if a cell-based treatment called CARTISTEM can repair knee cartilage better than surgery alone. It involves people with knee osteoarthritis and a cartilage defect, with moderate pain and limited function.
