Stem Cells as a symptom- and strUcture-modifying Treatment for knee OsteoaRthritis- the SCUlpTOR trial. [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major source of disability with no known cure. In order to address this gap, safe and effective treatments that reduce symptoms AND slow structural disease progression are needed. Whilst no disease-modifying agent has been approved to date, stem cells have biologic potential in this context. This trial will evaluate the efficacy of stem cell injections for reducing pain and slowing disease progression in knee OA compared to placebo.
