Autologous Stromal Vascular Fraction of Cells for Treatment of Knee Articular Cartilage Dystrophy

Phase 2
Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Procedure: Liposuction
Other: SVF isolation
Other: Intraarticular administration of autologous SVF
Registration Number
NCT02827851
Lead Sponsor
Central Clinical Hospital w/Outpatient Health Center of Business Administration for the President of Russian Federation
Brief Summary

Stromal vascular fraction of cells (SVF) will be extracted from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion. SVF will be administered in a single dose intraarticularly 4 weeks after arthroscopic debridement. All patients will receive cell therapy.This is a single arm study with no control.

Detailed Description

Patients undergone arthroscopic debridement for knee osteoarthritis will be subjected to abdominal liposuction under local anaesthesia. Harvested adipose tissue will be processed according to patent pending technology based on enzymatic digestion, washing and concentration of cell pellet in 5 ml of Hartmann's solution. Isolated SVF will be administered in a single dose into anterior part of knee joint cavity 28 days after arthroscopy.
