Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Knee Society Score
Clinical Questionnaire Assessment Tool. Score 80-100 = Excellent, Score 70-79 = Good, Score 60-69 = Fair, Score below 60 = Poor
One year
Knee Society Function Score
Clinical Questionnaire Assessment Tool. Score from 100 to -20. The higher the score, the better the knee function outcome.
One year
Magnetic resonance image (MRI) and X-ray assessment
Radiological assessment of the knee joint
One year
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Health related quality of life score (HRQoL) - SF36
One year
Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
One year
Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) pain evaluation
One year
Study Arms (2)
Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Treatment (MSCs)
EXPERIMENTALThe MSCs treatment group patients will receive an intra-articular injection of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) suspension in the affected knee. The treatment will be carried out after the patient has received a blood test and clinically evaluated at T0. T0: Beginning of the study, blood test and bone marrow aspiration. T30: Intra-articular injection of MSCs T44: Adverse events follow up 2 weeks after intra-articular injection (by phone)
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe patient will be given a single intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid sodium salt, Synvisc-One (TRB Chemedica Ltd.) The hyaluronic acid will be purchased for the patient from the manufacturer or from the pharmacy of the hospital.The intra-articular injection will be carried out after the patient has received a clinical evaluation at T0. T0: Beginning of the study T30: Intra-articular injection of Synvisc-One (HA) T44: Adverse events follow up 2 weeks after intra-articular injection (by phone)
Interventions
The MSCs treatment group patients will receive an intra-articular injection of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) suspension in the affected knee.
The HA group patient will be given a single intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid sodium salt, Synvisc-One (TRB Chemedica Ltd.)
