Study Arms (2)
Allocetra
EXPERIMENTALThree intra-articular injections of Allocetra at a selected dose, into the index knee.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORThree intra-articular injections of placebo into the index knee.
Interventions
The control used in this study will be placebo. Placebo solution containing all excipients except for the Allocetra cells.
Allocetra is a cell-based therapy consisting of non-HLA-matched allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells, induced to an apoptotic stable state.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 64 years or above.
- Diagnosis of primary femorotibial knee OA.
- Radiographic evidence of knee OA defined as Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 2 or 3 in the index knee.
- Participants who are intolerant to, or have failed to adequately respond to at least 2 OA therapies.
- Index knee pain assessed during the screening period and following wash-out of pain medications.
- Willingness to abstain from prohibited medications/treatments during the trial.
- Women who are postmenopausal (≥12 months natural amenorrhea without alternative cause) or surgically sterilized (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy).
- Male participants with partners of childbearing potential, who are not surgically sterile (vasectomy) for at least 6 months prior to randomization, must use condoms with spermicide in addition to their partner's contraception from randomization and for 90 days after last dose.
You may not qualify if:
- Participants will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
- Severe or end-stage osteoarthritis of the index knee.
- Clinically significant structural abnormalities or instability of the index knee.
- Recent major injury, surgical procedure, or intra-articular treatment in the index knee.
- Any known history of infection or tumor of the index knee, or active infection at the intended injection site.
- Any known history of inflammatory arthropathy or crystal-deposition disease.
- Any severe systemic cartilage, bone, or musculoskeletal disorder that may interfere with study outcomes.
- Clinically significant widespread pain syndromes.
- Immunosuppressive therapy, clinically significant immunodeficiency, or active infection.
- Body Mass Index (BMI) \>40 kg/m²
- Use of medications that may interfere with pain assessment or study outcomes.
- Known coagulopathy or use of anticoagulant/antiaggregant medication.
- Significant uncontrolled systemic disease or clinically significant findings on screening laboratory tests or physical examination.
