Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of Intra-articular Collagen Injection in Patients With Knee Joint Pain Compared to Normal Saline Injection (NCT NCT02539095)

NCT ID: NCT02539095

Last Updated: 2026-04-17

Results Overview

100 mm Visual Analogue Score (VAS) is measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. In this trial, it is used for quantification of the pain on the defected knee. The VAS score of the investigational group and the control group at 24 weeks after injection will be compared and analyzed. Score range: 0 \~ 100 mm Higher score indicates the worse outcome. In this case, participant is feeling more pain.

Measure
CartiZol, Collagen Injection
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the intra-articular collagen injection group based on a randomization table. CartiZol: The product, CartiZol, which contains absorbable collagen, is applied on the cartilage defect to stimulate the neovasculization and cell penetration and to assist the natural wound healing process. It supplements the defective or damaged cartilage. Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.
Normal Saline Injection
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the (placebo) injection group based on a randomization table. Normal saline: 1) Supplementation of fluid and electrolytes (sodium or chlorine deficiency) 2) Diluent for injection solution Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.

The improvement level of the investigational group and the control group will be evaluated by patients at the completion of clinical trial according to the 5 grade evaluation table. The difference of the improvement level (excellent+good+ moderate/total) of the two groups obtained at the completion of clinical trial will be compared and analyzed by z-test. In addition, the improvement level at each time point will be compared and analyzed.

Population: Physical examination was assessed for each participant at each visit. The analysis population includes all participants who underwent the assessment in each arm/group. The overall number of participants analyzed represents the actual number of participants evaluated (101 in the CartiZol group and 99 in the normal saline group). Each participant was counted once per parameter at each time point.

Physical examination was performed by the investigator at each visit (baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks). Selected key parameters were evaluated and categorized by severity. Each participant was assigned to a single category for each parameter at each time point, and the number of participants in each category was summarized for each arm/group. ※ Category titles are presented as: "Examination item (e.g., AP alignment)" - "Condition (e.g., varus or valgus)".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at the screening visit, 4 and 12 weeks after injection

100 mm Visual Analogue Score (VAS) is measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. In this trial, it is used for quantification of the pain on the defected knee. The VAS score of the investigational group and the control group at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after injection will be compared and analyzed. Score range: 0 \~ 100 mm Higher score indicates the worse outcome. In this case, participant is feeling more pain.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
CartiZol, Collagen Injection
n=101 Participants
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the intra-articular collagen injection group based on a randomization table. CartiZol: The product, CartiZol, which contains absorbable collagen, is applied on the cartilage defect to stimulate the neovasculization and cell penetration and to assist the natural wound healing process. It supplements the defective or damaged cartilage. Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.
Normal Saline Injection
n=99 Participants
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the (placebo) injection group based on a randomization table. Normal saline: 1) Supplementation of fluid and electrolytes (sodium or chlorine deficiency) 2) Diluent for injection solution Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.

Measure
CartiZol, Collagen Injection
n=101 participants at risk
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the intra-articular collagen injection group based on a randomization table. CartiZol: The product, CartiZol, which contains absorbable collagen, is applied on the cartilage defect to stimulate the neovasculization and cell penetration and to assist the natural wound healing process. It supplements the defective or damaged cartilage. Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.
Normal Saline Injection
n=99 participants at risk
Their eligibility to participate in the study is checked, and they are randomized into the (placebo) injection group based on a randomization table. Normal saline: 1) Supplementation of fluid and electrolytes (sodium or chlorine deficiency) 2) Diluent for injection solution Place the needle on the tip of the syringe and inject the product into the articular cavity.
