Could a single injection from donated tissue ease knee arthritis pain?
NCT ID NCT06000410
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a single injection of amniotic suspension allograft (ASA) can reduce pain and improve function in adults with knee osteoarthritis who haven't found relief from other treatments. About 594 participants received either ASA or a placebo, and their pain and function were measured using a standard questionnaire. The goal was to see if ASA provides meaningful symptom relief compared to placebo.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females 18 years of age or older * Diagnosis of OA of the index knee by a combination of clinical and radiographic findings. * OA of the index knee with Kellgren and Lawrence radiographic classification (Grades 2-4 inclusive), * Patients who have failed to adequately respond for at least 6 months to at least two osteoarthritis therapies within the last 12 months * Overall index knee pain score above minimum required WOMAC Pain scale. * Body mass index \< 40 kg/m2 * Using birth control, sterile or post-menopausal. * Able to understand and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Kellgren and Lawrence radiographic grade 1 OA of the knee * Use of pain medication less than 5 days before the baseline visit * Regular use of anticoagulants * Symptoms that could indicate meniscal displacement or an IA loose body. * Corticosteroid injection into the index knee within 3 months prior to screening. * Viscosupplement or any other autologous or allogeneic product into the index knee within 6 months prior to screening. * Patients with known hypersensitivity reactions to ASA or any of its constituents. * Knee surgery on the index knee within 12 months prior to screening and/or planned knee surgery during the study * Knee surgery on the contralateral knee within 6 months prior to screening and/or planned knee surgery during the study * Acute index knee trauma within 3 months prior to screening * Knee effusion requiring aspiration of the index or contralateral knee within 3 months prior to screening. * Contralateral knee pain above limits defined in the protocol * Current therapy with any immunosuppressive therapy or medical conditions likely to require systemic steroids during the study. * Any active or systemic infection including infection of the index knee joint or breakdown or disease of the index knee skin/soft tissues. * Clinically significant intercurrent illness, medical condition, non-knee pain, or medical history that would jeopardize patient safety, limit participation, or compromise interpretation of data derived from the patient * Active alcohol or substance use disorder, or any other reason that would make it unlikely that the patient will comply with study procedures * Females who are pregnant or lactating * Participation in another clinical trial within the 30 days (or 5 half-lives of the investigational compound, whichever is longer) before screening.
