Knee gel injection trial pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT06839222
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to test whether a new gel called Hydrogel OA 2% could safely relieve knee osteoarthritis pain better than a standard treatment. It planned to enroll adults with knee OA and give them one injection, then track side effects and symptom improvement for 26 weeks. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

- What this could lead to
- If it had worked, this could have pointed toward a new injection to ease knee pain and improve function in osteoarthritis.
