June 26, 2015 updated by: Peter B. Fodor MD, Fodor, Peter B, M.D.

Adipose Derived Stromal Cell (ADSC) Injections for Pain Management of Osteoarthritis in the Human Knee Joint

This safety and feasibility study used autologous adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSC), the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), to treat 8 osteoarthritic (OA) knees in 6 patients of grade I to III (K-L scale) with initial pain of 4 or greater on a 10 point scale, under Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This safety and feasibility study used autologous adipose-derived stromal cells, the stromal vascular fraction, to treat 8 osteoarthritic knees in 6 patients of grade I to III (K-L scale) with initial pain of 4 or greater on a 10 point scale, under IRB-approved protocol. Evaluation of the safety of intra-articular injection of the stromal vascular fraction cells was the primary objective of the study. Adipose-derived stromal vascular cells were obtained through enzymatic disaggregation of lipoaspirate, resuspended in 3 ml of Lactated Ringer's Solution, and injected directly into the intra-articular space with a mean of 12 million viable nucleated SVF cells per knee.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety as Measured by Adverse Events
Time Frame: Entire Study (1 year)
Adverse Events were recorded during the entirety of the study.
Entire Study (1 year)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of Baseline Score and 1 Year Score in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)
Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year

Comparison of WOMAC score (pain, stiffness and functionality measures) measured at baseline (pre-treatment), 3 months and 1 year (post treatment).

WOMAC score: 0 (best) to 100 (worst)
Baseline to 1 year
Comparison of Baseline Score and 1 Year Score in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain
Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year
Comparison of VAS pain score as measured before treatment and 3 months and 1 year after treatment. VAS measured on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
Baseline to 1 year
Comparison of Baseline and 3 Months Measures of Knee Flexion for Range of Motion
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months
Comparison of baseline measure of knee flexion to 3 months measurements of knee flexion. An increase in range of motion is positive (improved ability to move) and a decrease in range of motion is negative.
Baseline to 3 months
Comparison of Baseline Score and 3 Months Score in Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG).
Time Frame: baseline to 3 months
Comparison of baseline time for subjects' ability to rapidly rise from a chair, move rapidly 2 meters from the chair, turn and return and sit in the chair to the same measure at 3 months. Time to complete task is measured in seconds.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
