Novartis tests drug to regrow Worn-Out knee cartilage

NCT ID NCT04097379

Summary

This study tested whether a new drug called LRX712, injected directly into the knee joint, could help regrow damaged cartilage in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. It was a small, early-stage trial involving 45 participants who received either the drug or a placebo over 8 weeks, followed by nearly a year of monitoring. The main goal was to see if the treatment was safe and if MRI scans showed signs of cartilage repair.
