Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Osteoarthritis, Knee | Device: nSTRIDE APS Device: Synvisc-One | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 246 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | During the long-term follow-up phase (12 - 60 months), subjects may also elect to cross over to the other treatment arm and receive additional injections of the other treatment as frequently as needed, provided they did not experience any significant clinical concerns after previous treatment administrations and are benefiting from it, as determined by the investigator. Subjects may only cross over from their originally assigned treatment group to the other treatment group one time during the study. |
Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | This is a double-blind study where subjects and evaluators are blinded to treatment up to 12-months. During the long-term follow-up phase (12 - 60 months), only subjects will be blinded to the study treatment resulting in single-blind design following 12-month follow-up time point. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Two-Phase, Multicenter, Randomized Study Comparing Autologous Protein Solution With Hyaluronic Acid Intra Articular Injections in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis |
Actual Study Start Date : | July 14, 2017 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | September 30, 2019 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | September 30, 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: nSTRIDE APS
The nSTRIDE APS Kit is designed to be used for the safe and rapid preparation of APS from a small sample of blood at the patient's point of care. The APS is to be injected intra-articularly for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and associated symptoms.
