Stem Cell Study in Osteoarthritis of the Knee and Hip Joints
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this trial is to compare the effect of a single intra-articular injection of Lipoaspirate Concentrate vs Bone Marrow Aspirate on pain reduction and functional improvement in the treatment of the knee and hip OA.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The primary objective is to compare of magnitude and duration of pain relief of intra-articular injections with Lipoaspirate Concentrate vs Bone Marrow Aspirate.
The secondary objective is to compare the effect of Lipoaspirate Concentrate vs Bone Marrow Aspirate intra-articular injections on functional improvement, stiffness, global impression of change, and consumption of analgesic medication.
The exploratory objective is to explore the safety and the general tolerability of a single intra-articular injection of Lipoaspirate Concentrate vs Bone Marrow Aspirate.

Active Comparator: Knee arm randomized to Lipoaspirate Concentrate and Bone Marrow Aspirate The Subjects will be randomized to one of the treatment groups separately for the knee and hip arms of the study. Group A will receive a single intra-articular injection with lipoaspirate concentrate to the knee and Group B will receive a single intra-articular injection with bone marrow aspirate concentrate. |
Biological: Bone Marrow Aspirate, Lipoaspirate Concentrate
Autologous Cell Therapy.

Active Comparator: Hip Arm randomized to Lipoaspirate Concentrate and Bone Marrow Aspirate The subjects will be randomized to one of the treatment groups separately for the knee and hip arms of the study. Groups C will receive a single intra-articular injection with lipoaspirate concentrate to the hip and Group D will receive a single intra-articular injection with bone marrow aspirate. |
