    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Arm Description

    Participants received a single administration for Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells during the treatment period.The specification is 2.5 × 10^7cells/2ml suspension/branch.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Within 4 weeks after treatment, evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events.
    According to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading standard, adverse events in the study will be described and the level of them assessed. Then it will be counted up that the number and incidence of drug-related adverse events/adverse reactions, serious adverse events/serious adverse reactions (level 3 or above), and adverse events/adverse reactions leading to withdrawal in each group during the treatment period.
    Within 4 weeks after treatment, evaluate the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD).
    The degree of adverse events observed in the experiment will be determined according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading standard. If there were drug-related adverse events of level 3 or above that occurred in half or more of the subjects in any dose group before the dose was reached 1.0 × 10^8 cells/person/time, the dose ramp would be terminated and then the previous dose would be defined as MTD. If not, define 1.0 × 10^8 cells/person/time as MTD.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Evaluate changes on the scores of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index relative to baseline after treatment
    In the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 96, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
    Evaluate changes on the degree of the Kellgren-Lawrence grading standard for Knee joint X-ray relative to baseline after treatment
    In the Kellgren-Lawrence grading standard for Knee joint X-ray, the lowest class is 0 and the highest class is IV, and higher grade means a worse outcome.
    Evaluate changes on the degree of the Kellgren-Lawrence grading standard for Knee joint MRI relative to baseline after treatment
    In the Kellgren-Lawrence grading standard for Knee joint MRI, the lowest class is 0 and the highest class is IV, and higher grade means a worse outcome.
    Evaluate changes on the level of inflammatory factors relative to baseline after treatment
    At various time frame (baseline, week 4, week 12, week 24 and week 48), it will be measured that the levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α, PEG2) in the knee joint cavity. Then the changes on the level of inflammatory factors from baseline after treatment will be assessed.
    Evaluate changes on the scores of the Visual Analogue Scale relative to baseline after treatment
    In the Visual Analogue Scale, the minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
    Evaluate changes on the scores of the 36-Item Short Form Survey relative to baseline after treatment
    In the 36-Item Short Form Survey, the minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 900, and higher scores mean a better outcome.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells mediated by arthroscopy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This experiment proposes to enroll 18-22 patients. The experimental drug is human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.
    Detailed Description
    This study adopts a design for a single-dose increasing, single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to explore the safety, tolerance and preliminary efficacy of the single-dose administration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells mediated by arthroscopy in patients with knee osteoarthritis, as well as to provide a basis for the subsequent clinical study of drug delivery plans. The experimental process of this study is divided into four stages: screening period, baseline period, study treatment and safety observation period, follow-up period.
