Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of a person's own cartilage cells and allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, mixed in fibrin glue, is safe and has manageable side effects when used to treat cartilage defects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with specific hip cartilage defects, who can walk unassisted and have tried other treatments without success. They must not be pregnant or planning pregnancy, have a BMI under 35, no recent infections in the target hip, stable health without significant diseases like heart conditions or diabetes, and no history of certain blood disorders or cancer.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new treatment where patients' own cartilage cells are mixed with donor fat-derived stem cells and a special glue to repair damaged hip cartilage. The goal is to see if this mix is safe and what side effects it might cause when used to treat cartilage defects in the hip.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling, infection risks due to surgery, allergic reactions to any of the components used (like fibrin glue), and general surgical risks like bleeding or clotting issues.
