Filter by:This is a prospective open-label clinical study of 50 patients to determine safety and treatment potential of autologous cell therapy for pain and inflammation associated with Osteoarthritis of the hip. Follow-up will consist of a larger sample including 4,000 patients.

This is a prospective open-label clinical study of 50 patients to determine safety and treatment potential of autologous cell therapy for pain and inflammation associated with Osteoarthritis of the shoulder. Follow-up will consist of a larger sample including 4,000 patients.
In this study, the investigators use the clinical documentation and imaging data of MRI to do research. Clinical subjects were divided into two groups: osteoarthritis patients and healthy controls without osteoarthritis. Differences of MRI data were studied between two groups.
Introduction: Osteoarthritis of the knee is a very common disease. However there are few treatment options for these patients. Botulinum toxin type A is an option for chronic pain. If the investigators prove effectiveness of its use for intra-articular analgesia, Botulinum toxin type A can be useful for treat these patients. Objective: Compare the effectiveness of the use of intra-articular corticosteroid versus Botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: A prospective controlled randomized double blind studied with three groups (n = 35 each group) of patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knees receive intra-articular medication in a single moment will be undertaken. The three groups will be: Botulinum toxin type A Group: patients who receive 100 units of botulinum toxin; hexacetonide of triamcinolone Group: patients who receive 40mg of triamcinolone hexacetonide, and saline group: patients who receive 2ml of normal saline. Patients will be assessed by evaluators " blind " in 4 times during 12 weeks of follow-up with clinical assessment instruments (pain, quality of life questionnaire as short form 36 questionnaire) , functional ( WOMAC questionnaire) , and ultrasound (quantitative and semi quantitative measure of synovial hypertrophy and semi quantitative Power Doppler ) .The following statistical tests will be used : Student's t test, Mann - Whitney , chi- square test and ANOVA for repeated measures . Will be considered as statistical significance the difference of 5 %.
This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label, parallel-arm phase IV clinical study, for which a total of 300 patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis will be enrolled. In the first 4 weeks (run-in period), the subjects will receive on-demand treatment with Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets (DICL-SR) 75mg, quaque die（QD）. After the run-in period, the subjects, if their knee pain has not worsened to a level requiring surgical treatment, will be randomized to two groups in 1:1 ratio: one group receiving Artz® via intra-articular injection (once weekly, for 5 consecutive weeks) in combination with DICL-SR 75mg,quaque die（QD）, for 12 consecutive weeks on demand. The other group receiving DICL-SR 75mg alone,quaque die（QD）, for 12 consecutive weeks on demand. DICL-SR 75mg quaque die（QD） may be administered to the subjects of both groups on demand as long as they have a knee pain. If the knee pain has disappeared, this drug may be withdrawn. However, if the pain occurs again and requires treatment, oral administration of DICL-SR may be resumed. A subject is allowed to withdraw from this study prematurely if unable to tolerate the adverse effects. A total of 8 visits have been scheduled for this study, including Visit 1/screening period (Week -4), Visit 2/baseline (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 1), Visit 4 (Week 2), Visit 5 (Week 3), Visit 6 (Week 4), Visit 7 (Week 8) and Visit 8 (Week 12). A total of 300 subjects will participate in this study at 6 to 8 centers in China, and patient enrollment is expected to take up to 12 months.
PICASSO has been designed to demonstrate that combination therapy with CS/GH has superior efficacy compared to placebo in pain reduction (average score reduction in Huskisson's 0 to 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale) from baseline to 6 months of treatment in patients with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis.
A previous multicenter trial led by Bioiberica S.A. has confirmed the efficacy and safety of DROGLICAN for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with severe pain. The MOVES study was a phase IV, double blind, randomized and non-inferiority trial to compare the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose combination of glucosamine hydrochloride (GH) + chondroitin sulfate (CS) (DROGLICAN) versus celecoxib in patient with symptomatic knee OA with moderate to severe pain. This study concluded that both drugs reduced the WOMAC Pain subscale by 50% without significant difference between groups. Further, there was no difference in all secondary outcomes assessing patient's pain, functional capacity, stiffness, inflammation, joint swelling, effusion, and overall quality of life. This new exploratory trial is aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of DROGLICAN on the good health of the cartilage of patients suffering of knee osteoarthritis as revealed by qualitative assessment of cartilage biochemical composition in vivo.
The proposed study is a pilot, double-blind, randomized clinical trial comparing galectin-3 inhibition with MCP to placebo for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
