NCT ID NCT06163573
First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a lab-grown cartilage implant made from a patient's own nasal cells can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with patellofemoral osteoarthritis. About 75 adults aged 18–65 with moderate knee damage will receive either the implant or standard platelet-rich plasma injections. The main goal is to measure pain changes over 24 months, while also tracking side effects and quality of life.
