Study Summary

This trial examines if a painkiller can help relieve knee pain caused by OA.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with a BMI under 40 and moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis, who haven't responded well to other treatments for at least six months. Participants must not be on immunosuppressives or have recent knee injuries/surgeries, infections, or conditions that could affect safety or data quality. They should use birth control if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Amniotic Suspension Allograft (ASA) against a placebo in reducing knee pain from osteoarthritis. Patients will randomly receive either ASA or an inactive substance to compare outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, potential risks may include allergic reactions to ASA components, infection at the injection site, increased knee pain or swelling post-injection.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
The most common treatments for Osteoarthritis (OA) often involve the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen are typical examples. Additionally, treatments targeting inflammatory pathways, such as TNF-alpha inhibitors, aim to reduce the destruction of the articular matrix. These mechanisms are crucial for OA patients as they help manage symptoms, improve joint function, and potentially slow disease progression, enhancing overall quality of life.
