Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells（UCMSCs） in patient with Knee cartilage damage.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cartilage Damage Degenerative Osteoarthritis Biological: umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells Device: Hyaluronic acid Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Human cartilage only has limited regenerative potential. Transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) is a promising strategy given the high proliferative capacity of MSCs and their potential to differentiate into cartilage-producing cells - chondrocytes. The acquisition of ucMSCs does not require invasive surgical intervention or cartilage extraction from other sites as required by other cell-based strategies. The investigators inject allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells to the cartilage lesions in patients via intra-articular injection method, and to investigate the efficacy and safety。

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Knee Function Change and Improvement [ Time Frame: 12 months after treatment ]

    Knee assessments will be performed using the following tools:

    Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)


  2. Knee Function Change and Improvement [ Time Frame: 12 months after treatment ]
    Changes in knee function will be assessed via the IKDC score.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Adverse events were categorized using National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 scale (NCI-CTCAE v4.0)
