What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a patient's own stem cells (from fat) and platelet-rich plasma into the hip joint can reduce pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis. The trial starts with 50 people and plans to expand to 4,000. Researchers will measure pain, quality of life, and look for cartilage regrowth on MRI.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
StroMed (a patient's own stem cells from fat) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to manage hip osteoarthritis pain and possibly regrow cartilage without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 study with only 50 initial patients, so results are not yet proven. The treatment involves injections, which carry risks like infection or pain at the injection site.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with indication of Osteoarthritis. Can be from degeneration or chronic injury. 2. Patients range from 18-90 years of age. 3. Patients must be able to comply with treatment plan, laboratory tests and periodic interviews. 4. Patients with adequate renal function, Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl. 5. Patients with adequate cardiac and respiratory function. 6. Patients with adequate blood coagulation activity, PT(INR) \< 1.5, APTT 7. Patients must have adequate immune system function, with no known immunodeficiency disease. 8. Greater than 6 months hip pain with the index side (left or right). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Neoplastic cancer within 5 years prior to screening, except for cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell cancer resolved by excision 2. Presence of clinically significant acute or unstable cardiovascular and cerebrovascular (stroke). 3. Diagnosis of a transient ischemic attack in the 6 months prior to screening. 4. Patients infected with hepatitis B, C or HIV. 5. Patients with Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 40kg/m2 6. Presence of active infection. 7. Any other illness, psychiatric disorder, alcohol or chemical dependence that in the opinion of the investigator would render a patient unsuitable to participate in the study. 8. Conditions/therapies/factors which could confound or interfere with the evaluation of pain/mobility including, but not limited to: * Treatments with strong opioid drugs in the previous 4 weeks for other pain rather than hip osteoarthritis * Corticosteroid injection at treatment site within 1 month * Consistent use of NSAIDs within 48 hours of procedure.
