Joint tissue study could unlock new osteoarthritis treatments
NCT ID NCT07347821
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at hip and knee tissue from 1000 adults with osteoarthritis who are scheduled for joint replacement surgery. Researchers want to measure levels of rare metals and immune markers in the joint tissue and blood. The goal is to find imbalances that could lead to better treatments, like metal supplements or immune therapies.
