简要总结
The study aims to conduct a randomized trial comparing the clinical outcomes of PRP (standard intervention) versus Microfragmented adipose tissue (investigational) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Hypothesis: Both interventions will result in significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes. We hypothesize that Microfragmented adipose tissue will provide superior outcomes.
详细描述
Background
Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Standard of care treatments for knee OA include activity modification, weight loss, therapeutic exercise and injections like corticosteroids and viscosupplement. These commonly used non-operative treatments focus on symptom palliation, but are not disease modifying.
Orthobiologics have emerged as a promising treatment for knee OA. The most widely studied orthobiologic is platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is a dense concentration of platelets derived from autologous whole blood and platelets are concentrated 2-5x compared to baseline. The platelets have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective properties.6 PRP has been shown superior to placebo and viscosupplement for knee OA in several clinical trials.
While PRP is the most widely studied and used orthobiologic, it contains only platelets. Therefore, a simple, office-based intervention able to collect additional reparative cells to treat knee OA would be ideal. Adipose (fat) is a known source of reparative cells like pericytes and it can be easily and safely aspirated in the clinic. The adipose tissue aspiration and processing is accomplished through a simple process. After local anesthesia to the site of adipose aspiration (lower abdomen or buttock), 30ml of adipose is aspirated through a cannula. That adipose is then processed in accordance with FDA guidelines including minimal manipulation to remove oils.. Using minimally manipulated Microfragmented adipose tissue has been shown safe for use as injection therapy for knee OA for 3 years.

研究组 & 干预措施
Platelet Rich Plasma
157cc of whole blood will be harvested via standard venipuncture from the antecubital fossa and mixed with 24cc ACD-A (manufacturer recommends 8cc ACD-A per 52cc of whole blood). 156ml of whole blood will be processed in the FDA Cleared Angel cPRP system at 2% hematocrit. 1ml of whole blood and the resultant PRP will be analyzed in the Sysmex XN-350 for complete analysis (platelet, leukocyte, red blood cell counts). The remaining PRP will be injected under sterile technique using ultrasound-guidance through a superolateral approach. For patient comfort, 2cc of 1% lidocaine can be administered using a 26-gauge needle (into soft tissues only). PRP will then be injected using a 25-guage needle. A maximum of 6ml of PRP will be injected. Injection site will be cleaned and bandaged and patient will be dismissed with post-injection precautions and 1 month follow-up scheduled.
干预措施: Platelet Rich Plasma (Device)
Microfragmented adipose tissue
Adipose is aspirated from the subcutaneous tissue of the buttock or abdomen. Aspiration site is injected with 10ml 1% lidocaine with epinephrine. A small poke incision is made with an 11-blade scalpel. Then 120ml of Klein solution is injected into the adipose tissue. Solution sits for 15 minutes to allow for adequate anesthesia. Aspiration cannula is inserted and moved in a back and forth motion for 2 minutes to allow for adipose aspiration. 30ml fat will be aspirated. Aspiration site is cleaned and bandaged. The aspirated fat is processed using the Lipogems system. 30ml of adipose is transferred to the device, saline is run through the device to remove oils and then approximately 5-7ml of adipose tissue is removed and ready for injection. The Microfragmented adipose tissue are then injected in identical fashion to the PRP above.

结局指标
主要结局
KOOS Pain [Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score]
时间窗: 6 months
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Pain Score \[KOOS questionnaire\] is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the patient's opinion about the pain in their knee. Standardized answer options are given \[5 Likert boxes\] and each question is assigned a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score \[100 indicating no pain and 0 indicating extreme pain\] is calculated.
次要结局
- VAS [Visual Analog Pain Scale] Pain Score(6 months)
- Tegner Activity Scale(6 months)
