Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Osteoarthritis (OA) causes degradation and deformities of joints, including knees, hips, hands, and feet. Approximately more than 55% of populations above 45 years and more than 70% of population above 70 years will develop OA in at least one joint. The symptoms are dominated by pain but also stiffness and swelling occur. There is currently no cure for OA, and the ultimate treatment is joint replacement surgery. However, there is an unmet need to identify other treatment options that may delay or avoid surgery.

Aquamid Reconstruction (AR) is a polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) which is a non-degradable, highly visco-elastic synthetic gel, which is atoxic with durable effect and tissue-compatibility and well tolerated by mammal tissue by allowing in vivo vessel and fibrous in-growth. Experimental studies supported by histopathological observations have shown that AR exerts its effect via integration over time within the soft tissues, through a combination of vessel in-growth and molecular water exchange. Intra-articular injection of AR is expected to provide permanent pain relief and improve the functional ability through a cushioning or padding effect on the joint and thereby reduce symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to obtain information of the safety and effectiveness of AR in patients with OA of the knee.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intra-articular Aquamid Reconstruction

Intra-articular injection of 3 ml aquamid reconstruction (AR) to the knee. A second injection of 3 ml will take place after 1 month (+/- 2 weeks).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aquamid Reconstruction

Intervention Type DEVICE

AR contains 2.5% polyacrylamide and 97.5% non-pyrogenic water, with a unique molecular structure that allows the normal water exchange with the surrounding tissue without losing shape or effect. AR is biocompatible, non-biodegradable, stable and sterile.

The gel is provided in a sterile, pre-filled 1 ml sealed syringe. The gel is intended to be injected intra-articularly with a sterile 21G x 2 inch (0.8 x 50 mm) needle.
