New handheld device could reveal stem cell fate in arthritis treatment
NCT ID NCT07313020
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests a handheld imaging device that uses magnetic particles to track stem cells after they are injected into the knee. Ten adults with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis will receive a single injection of labeled stem cells, and the device will monitor their location and survival over 30 days. The goal is to see if this new imaging method can better predict treatment success than standard MRI scans.
