Brief Summary

CARTIPATCH® is an Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation product including functional cells in a matrix, indicated for the treatment of isolated osteocartilaginous lesions. The submitted protocol is a Phase III multicentric, prospective, controlled and randomized clinical trial, sponsored by TBF Génie Tissulaire, France. The main objective of the protocol is to compare the clinical improvement of the IKDC subjective score between the microfracture-treated group and the CARTIPATCH® chondrocyte graft-treated group , 18 months following surgery. Several secondary objectives were determined. The microfracture procedure will be conducted in one operative step, during arthroscopy and CARTIPATCH® procedure will be conducted in two operative steps:

  1. 1.Arthroscopy to collect cartilage;
  2. 2.Implantation following arthrotomy about 6 weeks following arthroscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical evaluation scoring system: IKDC

    18 months

Study Arms (2)

Autologous Chondrocytes Implantation

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: CARTIPATCH® procedure

Microfracture

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Microfracture

Interventions

Cartilage is harvested and treated for chondrocytes isolation and culture. After multiplication, the chondrocytes are transferred into a biomaterial support and surgically implanted.

Autologous Chondrocytes Implantation
MicrofracturePROCEDURE

Tiny fractures are created at the cartilage surface to stimulate cartilage growth.
