简要总结

Testing the safety and efficacy of MSC from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) for the treatment of cartilage damage in the knee joint

详细描述

All patients who provide written informed consent after receiving detailed information about the study and its potential risks will undergo a screening to assess eligibility. This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trial. On Visit 1 (Day 0), eligible patients will receive knee surgery with a one-time application of the investigational product to the cartilage defect. Follow-up visits over a two-year period will be conducted at regular intervals to monitor the safety of the investigational product and to collect initial data on its efficacy.

  • •Clinical indication for a surgical cartilage regeneration procedure
  • •Symptomatic grade III/IV cartilage defect according to ICRS or osteochondral defect with a maximum depth of 3 mm
  • •A cartilage defect requiring treatment with a defect size of 2-6 cm² on the femoral condyles or patella or trochlea
  • •Affected and contralateral knee (if known): Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) osteoarthritis severity < grade III
  • •KOOS pain sub-score of ≤ 70 (out of max. 100) in the affected knee joint and > 80 (out of max. 100) in the contralateral knee joint measured without taking analgesics within the last 24 hours
  • •BMI < 35 kg/m²
  • •Written informed consent of the participant, also regarding alternative procedures such as cartilage transplantation (MACT) or matrix-augmented bone marrow stimulation (BMS, AMIC)

排除标准

研究组 & 干预措施

Investigational Product Arm

Experimental

Participants in this arm will undergo arthroscopic or minimally invasive knee surgery, during which the investigational product - mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue (MesemCart) - will be applied once directly to the cartilage defect. All patients will receive the same treatment and will be monitored for safety and initial efficacy outcomes over a period of 24 months.

干预措施: BP CC 001 (Biological)

结局指标

  • Relative change in symptoms and stiffness compared to pre-surgery baseline as measured by KOOS symptom subscore(12 and 24 months after surgery)
  • Relative change in activities of daily living compared to pre-surgery baseline measured by KOOS-ADL subscore(12 and 24 months after surgery)
  • Relative change in physical resilience during sporting activities after the operation compared to the initial value before the operation measured using the KOOS-Sport/Rec-Subscore(12 and 24 months)

  • Regeneration of damaged cartilage measured using the MOCART score(12 months after surgery)
  • Relative change in pain in the knee joint compared to the initial value before the operation measured using the KOOS Pain Subscore(12 and 24 months after the operation)
