Trial Outcomes & Findings for Proof of Concept Study of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy in Subjects With Osteoarthritis of the Knee (NCT NCT02696083)

NCT ID: NCT02696083

Last Updated: 2018-01-12

Results Overview

Synovial markers measured included bone morphologic proteins, related proteins Activin A, Osteoactivin, sonic hedgehog, Dickkopf, interleukin cytokines and tumor necrosis factor alpha, Growth Factors and Related Proteins fibroblast growth factors 1,2, androgen receptor, platelet derived growth factor BB, tumor growth factor beta, osteprogenerin, osteopontin, and Insulin like growth factor-1. Inflammation related proteins assayed were monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, macrophage inflammatory protein, receptor activator of Nuclear factor κ, and TNF related activation induced cytokine. Adhesion and matrix metalloproteinase proteins levels were also determined. The mean protein concentration was calculated for these markers at Baseline (n=19), Day 45 (n=7) and Day 90 (n=6).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Days 45 and 90

Population: The mean protein concentration was calculated for these markers at Baseline (n=19), Day 45 (n=7) and Day 90 (n=6).

Synovial markers measured included bone morphologic proteins, related proteins Activin A, Osteoactivin, sonic hedgehog, Dickkopf, interleukin cytokines and tumor necrosis factor alpha, Growth Factors and Related Proteins fibroblast growth factors 1,2, androgen receptor, platelet derived growth factor BB, tumor growth factor beta, osteprogenerin, osteopontin, and Insulin like growth factor-1. Inflammation related proteins assayed were monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, macrophage inflammatory protein, receptor activator of Nuclear factor κ, and TNF related activation induced cytokine. Adhesion and matrix metalloproteinase proteins levels were also determined. The mean protein concentration was calculated for these markers at Baseline (n=19), Day 45 (n=7) and Day 90 (n=6).
