NCT ID NCT07219771

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a single injection of particles from donated placental tissue (PTP-001) can reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 260 adults aged 40–80 with mild-to-moderate knee OA will receive either the placental injection or a placebo (saline). The study lasts 52 weeks and measures changes in pain and daily activities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

placental tissue particles (PTP-001, also called MOTYS)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new, non-surgical option to reduce pain and improve knee function for people with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis.

What could go wrong

This is still an experimental treatment, and it's being compared to a placebo (saline injection). Even if effective, it may only help some people and not cure the underlying arthritis.
