  • Patients must have adequate immune system function, with no known immunodeficiency disease
  • Greater than 6 months knee pain on the index side (left or right knee)

Who cannot take part

  • Neoplastic cancer within 5 years prior to screening, except for cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell cancer resolved by excision
  • Diagnosis of a transient ischemic attack in the 6 months prior to screening
  • Conditions/therapies/factors which could confound or interfere with the evaluation of pain/mobility including, but not limited to:; Knee instability; A varus/valgus deformity of more than 10o, a deformity requiring osteotomy or complex surgery; Gout or pseudo gout; Treatments with strong opioid drugs in the previous 4 weeks for other pain rather than knee osteoarthritis; Corticosteroid injection at treatment site within 1 month; Consistent use of NSAIDs within 48 hours of procedure
  • Presence of clinically significant acute or unstable cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke)

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This is a prospective open-label clinical study of 50 patients to determine safety and treatment potential of autologous cell therapy for pain and inflammation associated with Osteoarthritis of the knee. Follow-up will consist of a larger sample including 4,000 patients.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Cohort 1Treatment being tested

    Interventions assigned by Principal Investigator

    Treatment: [StroMed + platelet rich plasma (PRP)] and [PRP] platelet rich plasma

  • Cohort 2Treatment being tested

    Interventions assigned by Principal Investigator
