Knee Cartilage Lesion Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Patient and Investigator Blinded, Single Dose, Proof of Concept Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Intra-articular LNA043 in Regenerating the Articular Cartilage of the Knee at Donor Sites in Patients Undergoing Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation
The purpose of this study was to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of a single intra-articular (i.a.) administration of LNA043 in regenerating the articular cartilage of the knee, in a standardized clinical scenario of acute cartilage defect. The study aimed at characterizing the mechanism of action of LNA043
This was a non-confirmatory, patient and investigator blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, single dose study in patients with cartilage lesions undergoing autologous cartilage implantation (ACI). Participants were treated only on one occasion (Day 1) with a single i.a. injection that was performed under arthroscopic visualization and followed up for 28 weeks. Originally approximately 22 patients were planned to be enrolled in two cohorts (LNA043 20 mg and LNA043 40 mg). The study was terminated before any patient was randomized into the LNA043 40 mg cohort ;
