Knee cartilage therapy research
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at knee osteoarthritis to find new ways to treat it. If you have knee pain from worn-down cartilage, this research may lead to better therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had knee pain for at least 1 month
- X-rays show bone spurs or joint space narrowing in the knee
- You are at least 50 years old
- Morning stiffness lasts less than 30 minutes
- You have no other joint diseases or conditions that affect bone health

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether fixing knee cartilage damage can prevent arthritis later. It compares different treatments to see if they help avoid long-term joint problems.
This early-phase study tests whether a special liquid made from stem cells, combined with a protein-rich blood product, can help repair damaged knee cartilage. If you have early osteoarthritis, this might 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.
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 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 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.
