NCT ID NCT07754175
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental stem cell injection called FURESTEM-OA-Kit in people with knee osteoarthritis who previously received a placebo in an earlier trial. The goal is to see if the injection is safe and can improve knee pain, stiffness, and function. Participants will receive the treatment and be monitored for side effects and changes in knee symptoms over time.
