About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Prospective, multi-center, randomized trial comparing platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of the study is to determine which therapy provides a greater reduction in patient reported outcome measures of pain and function.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Autologous Platelet Rich PlasmaTreatment being tested

    \~3 milliliters (mL) injection of autologous PRP prepared with the Magellan Autologous Concentration System, ISTO Biologics

    Treatment: Platelet Rich Plasma Joint Injection

  • CorticosteroidExisting treatment, for comparison

    5 milliliters (mL) injection of corticosteroid (1cc Kenalog, 4cc Xylocaine) Kenalog - 40 (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP) Xylocaine - MPF (lidocaine HCl Injection, USP)

    Treatment: Corticosteroid Injection
