Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, three-arm, parallel group, clinical study to evaluate the superiority of 3 weekly intra-articular (IA) doses of 2 mL of Investigational hyaluronate as compared to placebo injected into the target knee for the treatment of pain in subjects with Osteoarthritis (OA).The safety and effectiveness of the investigational product will also be compared with Euflexxa.

In this, prospective, double-blind study, patients with mild to moderate symptomatic knee osteoarthritis will be randomized to receive either a series of leukocyte poor, platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid injections under ultrasound guidance. Clinical data in the form of subjective outcome measures will be collected pre-treatment and at four time intervals across a 1-year period. Synovial fluid will also collected for analysis of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers pre-treatment, and at 12 and 24 weeks.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a drug that is being used more frequently at the Hospital for Special Surgery to lessen the amount of blood loss after total knee replacement (TKR). It is an anti-fibrinolytic agent, which means that it promotes the formation of blood clots. TXA can be given either intravenously or topically (placed directly on the open wound) before wound closure. Patients with certain medical conditions have been found to have a high risk of thrombosis after being given intravenous TXA, which may lead to serious complications. However, to date, no high-risk patients have been identified for use of topical TXA. This study will look at thrombogenic markers (proteins found in blood that promote clot formation) after TXA is given either intravenously or topically. If the effect on these markers is similar between intravenous and topical use of TXA, then the safety of topical TXA should be questioned. Of note, these markers have never been measured after TXA has been given topically. As a result, this information would be important for the medical community.

The effect of Euflexxa therapy for knee osteoarthritis on levels of inflammatory and degenerative synovial fluid bio-markers in patients with knee osteoarthritis

A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) in the treatment of pain caused by knee osteoarthritis (OA)

This study is a long term follow-up study to investigate the safety of autologous transplantation of Adipose Tissue derived Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patient with Knee Osteoarthritis.

Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of XT-150, a plasmid DNA with a variant of human IL-10 transgene. XT-150 will be a single injection into the knee synovial capsule for the Treatment of Osteoarthritic Pain.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of micronized dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane as compared to the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP placebo control for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to determine quantitative and qualitative differences in post-operative pain relief for patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who receive administration of a newly approved, long acting local anesthetic branded as ExparelTM (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) introduced by one of two different administration methods. Group 1 would receive a predetermined and standardized dose of ExparelTM introduced directly into the joint capsule at the conclusion of the surgery, effectively bathing the joint in anesthetic solution. Group 2 would receive the same predetermined and standardized dose of ExparelTM as a local infiltration anesthetic (LIA) by injecting it into the periarticular tissues in nine (9) standard sites at the conclusion of the surgery.

This double-blind, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of Autologous Protein Solution (APS) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee who have failed at least 1 conservative osteoarthritis (OA) therapy (e.g. physiotherapy, simple analgesics, intra-articular injection).
