NCT ID NCT06576583

First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests a new treatment for patellofemoral osteoarthritis (knee arthritis) using a graft made from the patient's own nasal cartilage cells. About 150 adults aged 18-70 with knee arthritis will receive either this experimental implant or standard care (a cartilage repair procedure or partial knee replacement). The goal is to see if the nasal cartilage implant improves knee function and reduces pain better than current options.
