Intra-Articular Autologous Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation to Treat Mild to Moderate Osteoarthritis

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose Osteoarthritis is a progressively degenerative disease resulting in increasing pain, impairment and ultimately disability. While the available treatments seek to ameliorate pain or improve mobility, these treatments rarely modify the course of the disease, but rather attend to its consequences. For early stage osteoarthritis, treatment is largely limited to addressing the symptoms of inflammation with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs do not stop the progression of the condition or regenerates damaged cartilage. This is a randomized and open labelled study aimed to determine the efficacy of intra-articular implantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.

Brief Summary
Osteoarthritis is a progressively degenerative disease resulting in increasing pain,
impairment and ultimately disability. While the available treatments seek to ameliorate pain
or improve mobility, these treatments rarely modify the course of the disease, but rather
attend to its consequences. For early stage osteoarthritis, treatment is largely limited to
addressing the symptoms of inflammation with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
These drugs do not stop the progression of the condition or regenerates damaged cartilage.

This is a randomized and open labelled study aimed to determine the efficacy of
intra-articular implantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in
patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with mild to moderate osteoarthritis based on Kellgren-Lawrence
radiographic classification

- Has a history of joint swelling, pain, stiffness, altered gait and loss of motion due
to degenerative cartilage

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any acute or chronic communicable diseases including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV

- Any past history of neoplasia and primary hematological disease

- Renal impairment indicated by serum creatinine greater than 200mM

- Liver impairment indicated by serum aspartate transaminase and serum alanine
transaminase greater than 120 IU

- Any other co-morbidity which the physician deems as a contraindication to stem cell
transplantation and bone marrow biopsy
