Cannabinoids for Osteoarthritis
Toronto, OntarioThis study aims to investigate whether oral cannabis extracts can effectively manage pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA), a common joint condition affecting one in seven Canadians. Current OA treatments often have limited effectiveness and may cause side effects. As a result, many individuals with OA turn to medical cannabis for pain relief, despite limited scientific evidence supporting its efficacy.
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of a larger trial evaluating the effects of two cannabis compounds-CBD and THC-compared to a placebo (a look-alike substance containing no active drug) on pain interference in patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis.
Participants will:
* Take either CBD, THC, or a placebo capsule daily for 8 weeks
* Complete follow-ups remotely, with no in-person clinic visits required
* Maintain a diary tracking their study drug usage and any additional pain medications

Adipose Tissue Allograft for Knee Arthritis
Altoona, PennsylvaniaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of BRC-OA for pain treatment in patients with mild to severe OA of the knee, focusing particularly on two distinct doses. Alongside safety assessments, the study also aims to investigate the initial efficacy of BRC-OA in treating pain among these patients. The study product is a cryopreserved devitalized adipose tissue allograft (BRC-OA). BRC-OA is composed of a devitalized human adipose particulate that retains the inherent properties of adipose such as tissue architecture, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules.

Genicular Artery Embolization for Osteoarthritis
Chicago, IllinoisGenicular Artery Embolization for Reducing Pain in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blind, Pilot Randomized Sham-Controlled Study (SHAM-PAIN) is a NIH-NIAMS funded project designed to assess enrollment feasibility and detect any differences between GAE and a similar sham intervention in reducing KOA-related pain at 3 months as measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscore. Additionally, this study aims to determine the magnitude of difference in pain response between GAE and sham to adequately power a larger, more definitive randomized sham-controlled trial (RCT). The influence of psychosocial and psychocognitive factors, changes in analgesic use, and conditions of knee joint cartilage and effusion will similarly be explored to determine their impacts on perceived pain response to GAE.

Enekinragene Inzadenovec for Knee Arthritis
Duncansville, PennsylvaniaThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a single knee injection of different doses (Dose A and Dose B) of an investigation product PCRX-201, following steroid pretreatment, is safe and tolerable in male of female patients 45 to 80 years old with osteoarthritis of the knee. It will also learn how the body reacts to the PCRX-201 injection and how effective the treatment is.
Researchers will compare Dose A and Dose B of PCRX-201 versus placebo from Week 1 through Week 52 to assess adverse events. Researchers will also explore how PCRX-201 may impact knee pain and joint function over time.
Participants will be asked to
* Visit the clinic for pretreatment and drug administration
* Visit the clinic for checkups and tests:
1. Screening through Week 52: intially weekly, bi-weekly, later monthly
2. Week 53 through Week 260 (Year 5): 8 visits throughout the period

Oral Steroids for Osteoarthritis Pain
York, PennsylvaniaThe purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effects (relief of pain) of glucocorticoids (steroids) and pain medication versus pain medication alone in adult patients presenting to the emergency department with joint pain due to osteoarthritis. Steroids are drugs that can reduce inflammation and are used commonly for many different medical conditions.
In brief, the central aims of the study are to:
1. Assess the efficacy of adding oral glucocorticoid medications to the standard pain medications used to treat the pain of osteoarthritis.
2. Assess the safety and tolerability of oral glucocorticoid medication for the short-term treatment of osteoarthritis pain.
We hypothesize that: 1) The addition of glucocorticoids to standard pain medications will improve reported pain scores at 3 days following the initiation of treatment compared to standard pain medications alone and 2) The use of glucocorticoids will be well tolerated.
Participants in the study will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into one of three groups:
1. Study Group 1 (Control) receiving placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days.
2. Study Group 2 (Intervention A) who will receive prednisone (steroid) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days.
3. Study Group 3 (Intervention B) who will receive one dose of dexamethasone (steroid) followed by placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 4 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days.
In all groups, acetaminophen (a different pain medication) can be taken as needed for pain that is not controlled with ibuprofen.
Participants will:
* Receive follow up phone calls at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days.
* Report pain scores related to joint pain.
* Report the number of pills taken of the various medications used in the study.
* Report any adverse events incurred during the follow up period.

Knee Replacement Techniques for Osteoarthritis
Hamilton, OntarioKnee replacement surgery is the second most common surgery in Canada. People who have very painful knee arthritis usually receive a knee replacement where the surgeon aims to make everyone's knee as straight as possible (called mechanical alignment). Mechanical alignment focuses on making the implant last as long as possible. However, everybody's knee shape is different and we think that it is important to take individual differences into account. A newer technique that is more personalized is called restricted kinematic alignment. This technique customizes the placement of the new knee to reproduce each patient's unique knee shape, which may not be perfectly straight. We think this newer technique may feel more natural, be more stable, and lead to better knee function. Restricted kinematic alignment might last as long or longer than mechanical alignment, but the research that has been conducted to date is not clear. We are conducting this study to help surgeons better understand which technique is better. One of the reasons the existing research is not clear is because new developments in robotic technology now allow surgeons to place knee implants very precisely, which was not done in most previous research. In this study everyone will receive a robot-assisted knee surgery so we can be sure the implants are placed as precisely as possible.
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether there are differences in patient outcomes using restricted kinematic alignment rather than the traditionally used mechanical alignment for total knee replacements.
Participants who are having total knee replacements will be randomized to receive either a robot-assisted total knee replacement using mechanical alignment, or a robot-assisted total knee replacement using restricted kinematic alignment . We will ask participants to walk in a markerless motion capture system which will measure walking characteristics at pre-op, 6 months postop and 12 months postop. Participants will also complete a series of standardized questionnaires at preop and 6 months, 12 months, and 24 month postop.

Methylprednisolone for Knee Arthritis
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPain control and early range of motion following total knee arthroplasty are essential for patient satisfaction. Intraoperative steroids (dexamethasone) have been shown to have a significant effect in controlling acute pain following total knee arthroplasty. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a post-operative steroid (methylprednisolone) taper in improving functional and patient-reported outcomes following total knee arthroplasty. A taper means taking a high dose of a medication followed by taking lower doses and each following day until the medication is stopped.

BMAC and LAC + LP-PRP for Osteoarthritis
Toronto, OntarioABLE OA is a Health Canada authorized (phase II/III) trial \[Parent Control #: 263591\]. A multi-center, prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled adaptive trial to evaluate the efficacy of two minimally manipulated autologous cellular preparations i) bone marrow aspirate (BMA) injection; and, ii) combined lipoaspirate micronized (LAM) and leukocyte poor (LP) platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA).
BMA, LAM from lipoaspirate (LA), and LP-PRP from whole blood will be prepared using the Cervos Marrow Cellution™ Bone Marrow Aspiration System, Cervos LIPO-PRO™ Adipose Transfer System, and Cervos KEYPRP Platelet Separator System, respectively.
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures will be collected using web- or paper-based questionnaires administered at baseline (pre-injection) as well as at 3, 6 and 12 months (post-injection). Blood, synovial fluid, and urine samples will be collected at baseline pre-injection and 6 months post-injection only.

Knee Implant Alignment for Osteoarthritis
Louisville, KentuckyThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn if preparing the target alignment of the operative side in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on the non-arthritic side will give the patient better overall alignment, function, and improved results compared to basing our implant alignment and positioning off the arthritic side, which is currently the traditional method.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will a patient have improved postoperative TKA results if the implant alignment is based off the non-arthritic side compared to the standard arthritic side?
* What are the similarities or differences between study arms with respect to final implant alignment and positioning angles? Researchers will compare the outcomes of two cohorts of patients undergoing primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) with normal contralateral knee. Based on preoperative CT imaging, the researchers will use normal contralateral side joint numbers as the target alignment for one group (Experimental arm) and utilize the traditional method for the other group (Active comparator arm). Clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) will be compared between groups.
Participants will:
* Be randomized into one of two study arms and will receive either a unilateral knee CT or bilateral knee CT preoperatively
* Follow-up in the clinic at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 1-year postoperatively, per standard-of-care for x-ray and clinical evaluation.
* Complete postop questionnaires (PROMs) at the prescribed follow-up intervals

Morphine + Vancomycin for Pain Control After Knee Replacement
Roanoke, VirginiaStudy investigators propose to investigate if a bony injection of pain medication during a knee replacement will help pain levels following primary knee replacement surgery. To investigate this, 86 patients will be enrolled. Half of the patients will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with morphine (pain medication) while the other half will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with placebo (no pain medication). Following surgery, patient pain levels and pain medication consumption will be measured.
The injection is intraosseous meaning in the bone. The needle pierces the bone and the medication is injected into the bone. The site of injection is on the anterior (front) of the upper portion of the tibia. The medications are Vancomycin (antibiotic) and Morphine (pain medication) which are mixed in separate syringes and then injected. Intraosseous vancomycin is standard of care while intraosseous vancomycin with morphine is also standard of care, depending on operating surgeon.

LET + ACL Reconstruction for Knee Injuries
London, OntarioFrom 2014-2017, across 7 Canadian and 2 European sites, we randomized 618 patients at high-risk of re-injury, to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with or without a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) and demonstrated that the addition of the LET reduced the risk of instability (RRR=0.38; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.21-0.52; P=0.0001) and graft re-rupture (RRR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.36-0.83; P=0.001). As a result, practice has changed; there has been a large increase in the proportion of orthopaedic surgeons recommending the addition of an LET at the time of ACLR and an increase in the number of patients requesting an LET from their surgeon. There is some weak evidence suggesting that in the longer term, the LET may increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA) in that knee. Knee OA affects over 4.4 million Canadians and the number of younger adults being diagnosed with knee OA is growing and is a primary reason for seeking healthcare in Canada. The impact of OA in Canada is enormous and projected to cost Canada $17.5 billion annually in lost productivity alone by 2031. This study will use imaging and patient-reported Knee Outcomes Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) to evaluate the incidence of OA at 10-years post ACL reconstruction with and without LET. We will also collect information about overall knee health, patient-reported outcomes, costs associated with knee injury, rehabilitation and disability, clinical failure, functional ability, and sport participation. It is crucial that we understand the risks of developing knee OA associated with the addition of an LET to an ACLR so that surgeons and patients can make informed decisions, not just for their immediate post injury treatment of the failed ligament, but for the potential long-term consequences of that decision.

Brain Stimulation + Yoga for Osteoarthritis
London, OntarioPeople with knee arthritis often experience constant pain, and current treatments aren't very effective. This can lead to limited movement and more health problems. Knee arthritis is a big part of healthcare costs in Canada, and its pain is a major reason people see doctors. The pain is linked to complex nervous system changes, making current treatments, like exercise, not very successful.
To address this, researchers suggest a new approach combining two things: a brain stimulation technique called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and yoga. TDCS helps with pain by changing how the brain works, and yoga, a safe practice, focuses on overall well-being. Together, the investigators aim to improve how the nervous system works from top to bottom.
The research project wants to change how the arthritis pain is being managed by focusing on how it works. The investigators plan to test this combo in a study comparing real tDCS plus yoga with fake tDCS plus yoga. The investigators will look not only at pain but also at other measures related to pain and how the nervous system works. This new mix could be a meaningful way to reduce pain for people with knee arthritis.

Multiprofen-CC™ for Postoperative Pain
Hamilton, OntarioTotal knee arthroplasty is a surgical treatment which involves replacing the damaged articular cartilage of the knee joint with an artificial prosthetic in end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although total knee arthroplasties are mostly successful, approximately 1 in 5 patients are unsatisfied with their outcomes with 16-33% of patients of patients experiencing lasting pain following total knee arthroplasty.
Multiprofen-CC™ is a compounded topical analgesic currently available to healthcare professionals for prescription in patients experiencing localized musculoskeletal pain. To date there has been no evidence-based guidance generated to evaluate the efficacy of Multiprofen-CC™ in osteoarthritis patients. This study will test, in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty, if the use of topical Multiprofen-CC™ in addition to standard of care pain management is more effective in controlling knee pain and reducing opioid use compared to placebo plus standard care alone.

CAPPA for Chronic Knee Pain
Milwaukee, WisconsinThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a brief health coaching intervention based on an approach known as brief action planning + Fitbit can increase physical activity in employees with chronic knee symptoms who work for Advocate Aurora Health. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will a greater proportion of people in the health coaching intervention increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week than a group of people with an attention-control intervention (Fitbit+health education coaching)?
* Can we predict who will not increase physical activity levels to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week by the end of the study (3 and 6 months) based upon Fitbit data captured over the first four weeks?
Researchers will compare a health education coaching intervention + Fitbit to see if providing a Fitbit + attention control will increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week among members of the attention-control group.
Participants will engage in
* Online study orientation and question and answer session
* Three assessment sessions (baseline, 3 months, 6 months)
* A 12 week intervention with no less than four (4) and no more than twelve (12) health coaching sessions. Physical activity health coaching will make action plans for health coaching. Health education coaching will focus on educating participants on non-physical activity factors related to a comprehensive management of chronic knee symptoms, such as managing fatigue, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, etc.

Surgical Alignments for Knee Arthritis
Chicago, IllinoisKnee replacement surgery can be performed in one of two ways. Traditionally the goal was for the new joint to be in a neutral position with respect to the femur (thigh bone). This is called Mechanical Alignment (MA). The neutral position is different than the human knee's natural position, so MA often requires the surgeon to make additional cuts to the ligaments and other soft tissue around the knee. More recently surgeons have started to place the new joint in a position that more closely replicates the natural alignment of the human knee. This is called Kinemetic Alignment (KA). KA can be done without additional soft tissue dissection but the procedure requires a higher level of precision that can be difficult to achieve in every case.
Some studies have found no difference in outcomes between MA and KA, whereas others have found KA to be superior. But these were small studies or studies that did not consider patient-rated outcomes.

Duloxetine for Osteoarthritis
Toronto, OntarioKnee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis is a commonly performed procedure in Canada with 75,000 of these surgeries performed each year. Success rate for knee replacement surgery is high but more than 20% of patients are still dissatisfied mainly due to reports of ongoing pain. Pain control following knee surgery is important in order to allow patients to engage in recovery and rehabilitation. The current standard of pain management after surgery centers around the use of opioids which is a concerning practice as highlighted by the opioid epidemic. Duloxetine is an antidepressant that has pain relieving properties and it has been studied in patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. Studies to date have not been designed optimally to demonstrate the full effects of opioid dose reduction and the use of duloxetine as a medication following knee replacement surgery. This research study seeks to start duloxetine before surgery, at the recommended therapeutic dose, and for the duration of the early rehabilitation period. If the study is successful, this low-cost medication can improve satisfaction rates and change the standard way the pain management is typically carried out for patients undergoing the knee replacement surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Osteoarthritis Knee clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Osteoarthritis Knee clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Osteoarthritis Knee trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Osteoarthritis Knee is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Osteoarthritis Knee medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Osteoarthritis Knee clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added StroMel for Osteoarthritis, Fat Cell Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis and Cannabinoids for Osteoarthritis to the Power online platform.
