Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests TG-C, an injection into the knee, for people with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if TG-C can reduce pain and improve knee function by potentially altering the disease. The study will monitor patients for safety and effectiveness over time. TG-C has been previously studied for its potential to improve knee joint function and reduce pain in osteoarthritis patients.
