23 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in clinical and imaging outcomes following arthroscopic treatment of chondral lesion(s) by Radiofrequency-Based debridement or Mechanical Debridement in subjects 18-50 years of age.
The purpose of this two-part study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple intra-articular (i.a.) injections of LNA043, in regenerating the articular surface in patients with cartilage lesions of the knee (Part A) and knee osteoarthritis (Part B).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in clinical and imaging outcomes following arthroscopic treatment of a single medial femoral chondral lesion plus partial medial meniscectomy by Radiofrequency-Based debridement or Mechanical Debridement in subjects ≥ eighteen (18) years of age.
ISTO Technologies, Inc. is proposing a clinical study with 225 subjects, to establish the safety and efficacy of the Neocartilage Implant for the treatment of ICRS Grade 3 and 4 articular cartilage lesions of the knee compared to microfracture treatment.
The Kensey Nash Corp. Cartilage Repair Device is a bioresorbable scaffold designed to promote repair of knee cartilage and subchondral bone. Subjects with knee cartilage damage meeting eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with the Cartilage Repair Device or a standard surgical technique called microfracture. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of the Cartilage Repair Device compared to microfracture.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the BioPoly® Partial Resurfacing Knee Implant for the treatment of cartilage defects of the distal femur in adult patients with knee pain and symptoms who are candidates for surgical intervention of the knee compared to outcomes for the control group. The primary effectiveness endpoint is Month 24 composite clinical success (CCS) defined by: * no secondary surgical intervention (SSI) and * an improvement from baseline in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) total score (scaled 0 to 100) of at least 10 points. Researchers will compare the CCS for the investigational device group to a control group receiving the standard of care, either microfracture or debridement). Subjects randomized to the investigational group will receive the BioPoly Knee device and those randomized to the control group will receive the current standard of care, either microfracture or debridement.
The purpose of this study is to measure the outcomes of patients who have articular cartilage lesions in the patellofemoral joint and are treated with the Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation.
The purpose of the study is to support market adoption and global market access via collection of long-term effectiveness, safety, and radiographic data. The primary hypothesis is that Marketed Product (MP01) retains its superiority over Surgical Standard of Care (SSOC) at 7 years in term of mean improvement in the overall Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS).
The primary objective of this registry is to obtain long-term outcomes on ProChondrix CR in cartilage repair procedures of the knee, ankle, foot and hip.
The investigators propose to prospectively evaluate the accuracy of a novel 7-Tesla (7T) knee MRI protocol for the detection and grading of cartilage lesions in the knee, which is a significant limitation of current MRI techniques.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the use of ProChondrix Cryopreserved Osteochondral Allograft to obtain evidence of effectiveness, defined as an improvement in physical function and pain, when used on a symptomatic cartilage defect on the femoral condyle or patella in a mechanically stable knee.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CARTISTEM, a cell therapeutic product, is safe and effective in the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the knee as a result of ageing, trauma, or degenerative diseases.
The aim of this study is to describe changes at the site of the study patient's articular cartilage lesion on the femoral condyle with multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes 6 months after treatment using one of three standard surgical treatment methods: 1) lavage debridement; 2) mechanical debridement; 3) mechanical and radiofrequency-based debridement.
The study is a randomized, prospective, multicenter, controlled clinical trial of the Episealer Knee System. The Episealer Knee System is intended for subjects with up to two focal femoral knee chondral or osteochondral lesion that is causing pain and/or disability and requires surgical treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare two biologic methods for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee. The first method, microfracture, is the standard of care and is routinely used to recruit cells from the subchondral bone marrow to the site of cartilage loss. The second method is the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the defect site. In theory, ADSCs on a collagen scaffold should enable the delivery of more specific progenitor cells to the site of injury, resulting in better regeneration and integration of articular cartilage at the site of a defect as compared to the microfracture method.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of DeNovo NT, a tissue product used for the repair of cartilage damage in the knee. This product has been on the market since 2007 and implanted in more than 10,000 patients around the country.
Multi-center, prospective, concurrently controlled, non-randomized, double-blind (patient and assessor). Treatment of large chondral lesions in the knee with microfracture plus the Chondro-Gide® ACC is non-inferior to treatment of small chondral lesions treated with microfracture alone.
Multicenter, open-label, controlled, non-randomized, double arm trial with a prospective treatment arm (GelrinC). This study compares the efficacy and safety of GelrinC to a historical control arm (microfracture) in the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee.
This study will examine whether using bone marrow aspirate (BMA) during knee arthroscopy surgery can improve patient outcomes. The investigators will enroll 50 patients who need knee arthroscopy surgery for meniscus injuries or cartilage damage. Like flipping a coin, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups of 25 patients each. One group will receive standard arthroscopic surgery plus an injection of bone marrow aspirate, while the other group will receive standard surgery plus a saline (salt water) injection. During surgery, for patients in the treatment group, approximately 4mL (less than one teaspoon) of bone marrow will be taken from their hip bone using a special needle system. A small amount (1mL) will be sent to the laboratory for testing. Patients will be followed for 12 months after surgery and will complete questionnaires about their pain levels and knee function at several time points: before surgery, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. These questionnaires will ask about pain, daily activities, and overall improvement.
This study was designed to evaluate the long term effectiveness of a product used in knee surgery called Affinity™ Membrane.
The overall study objective is to evaluate Chondrofix Osteochondral Allograft ("Chondrofix") for the repair of osteochondral lesions in the knee. This includes, but is not limited to primary cartilage lesion repair and revision of failed prior cartilage repair treatments. The study hypothesis is that Chondrofix Allograft will provide pain relief and functional improvement as demonstrated by a comparative analysis of baseline clinical evaluations at 24 months of follow-up.
The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to collect long-term outcomes for DeNovo NT Graft treatment of articular cartilage lesions in the ankle in a standard clinical setting. Outcomes to be assessed include pain, function, activity levels and healthcare resource use.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ceftriaxone administered postoperatively via intravenous injection reduces postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and narcotic consumption in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for a cartilage or meniscal injury.
