Summary

The study is a multicenter trial conducted to compare the effectiveness of an injection of a corticosteroid control to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) preparations from autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMAC), adipose derived stem cells in the form of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), and third-party human mesenchymal stem cells manufactured from umbilical cord tissue (UCT) for the treatment of unilateral Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). The study will be conducted in 4 sites in the United States, and a total of 480 participants will be enrolled in this study.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Bone Marrow Derived MSCs

Autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMAC) is a standard orthobiologic injection for knee osteoarthritis. The procedure involves harvesting of bone marrow aspirate (BMA) from the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) and then following centrifugation in an FDA approved device (EmCyte GenesisCS Pure BMAC®-60 ml) will be injected back into the knee joint. All injections will be made via ultrasound guidance using a standard approach.

BIOLOGICAL

Adipose-derived MSCs

Adipose-derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) will be obtained from a mini lipoaspirate. The lipoaspirate will then be enzymatically digested to produce a SVF that will be injected into the knee joint. All injections will be made via ultrasound guidance using a standard approach.

BIOLOGICAL

Umbilical Cord Tissue (UCT) MSCs

Cryopreserved doses of umbilical cord tissue MSCs will be used. These MSCs were cryopreserved at P2 culture in plasmalyte A + 5% human serum albumin in 5 finger cryobags containing 20 million cells in 4 mL and stored under liquid nitrogen until shipment. Cells will be transported in a dry shipper and thawed at the study sites. The dose of MSCs will be aspirated from the cryobag into a sterile syringe and directly injected into the knee. All injections will be made via ultrasound guidance using a standard approach.

DRUG

Corticosteroid injection

The corticosteroid injection is prepared by mixing 1cc of 40mg/dL depomedrol and 6cc of normal saline in a 10cc syringe will be made into the knee joint. All injections will be made via ultrasound guidance using a standard approach.
