Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: FURESTEM-OA Kit Inj. Subjects are slowly administered FURESTEM-OA Kit Inj. once into the knee joint cavity contained in a disposable sterile syringe mixed with Solution 1 and Solution 2 depending on the dose group assigned at the baseline (Visit 2). The subjects are assigned sequentially to the following 3 dose groups in Phase 1 clinical trial, and in Phase 2a clinical trial, the subjects are randomized to 1-2 dose groups below MTD determined in Phase 1. |
Biological: FURESTEM-OA Kit Inj.
FURESTEM-OA Kit Inj. is a combination medical product in which FURESTEM-OA Inj. (solution 1) is the primary mode of action and CAM Inj. (solution 2) acts as an auxiliary. The product is administered after mixing solution 1 and solution 2.
