Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of Patients Who Achieve at Least a 10-point Improvement From Baseline in KOOS-Child Pain and Function (Sports and Recreational Activities) Scores

    A responder is defined as a participant with at least a 10-point change (improvement) in both the KOOS-Child Pain and Function (Sports and Recreational activities) scores from Baseline scores. The Knee and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Children (KOOS-Child) is a validated knee-specific instrument developed to assess the patients' opinion of their knee and associated problems. KOOS consists of 5 subscales: Pain, Function in sports and recreational activities, other Symptoms, Function in activities of daily living (ADL), and knee related Quality of life (QOL).

    Baseline and Week 104

Secondary Outcomes (2)

Eligibility Criteria

Age10 Years - 17 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Symptomatic cartilage or osteochondral defects
  • One or more International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) Grade III or IV chondral or unsalvageable osteochondral defects located on the femoral condyles and/or trochlea amenable to treatment with the surgical procedure determined at randomization (MACI or microfracture).
  • At least 1 defect size ≥1.5 cm2 on the femoral condyles and/or the trochlea; defects include OCD lesions with a bone lesion depth of ≤6 mm and does not require a bone graft.
  • Stable target knee (i.e., anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments should be free of laxity as well as stable and intact). Ligament repair or reconstruction procedures are allowed prior to screening arthroscopy.
  • Intact meniscus or partial meniscus (at least 50% of functional meniscus remaining) in the target knee.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any surgery on the target knee joint within 6 months prior to Screening (not including diagnostic arthroscopy)
  • ICRS Grade III or IV chondral or unsalvageable osteochondral defects located on the patella or tibia or any lesion that is bipolar to the index lesion
  • Concomitant inflammatory disease or other conditions that affects the joints (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone disease, psoriasis, symptomatic chondrocalcinosis)
  • Known history of septic arthritis in the index knee joint
  • Known history of hypersensitivity to gentamicin, other aminoglycosides, or products of porcine or bovine origin
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
