Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of implanting bead-type autologous chondrocytes (CartiLife®) obtained by culturing expanded costal chondrocytes of the patient with a chondral defect in the knee. The patients will be assessed clinically using clinical, biochemical and IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) outcomes preoperatively as well as 4, 8, 24 and 48 weeks postoperatively to assess the relief of symptoms and joint function.

Study Groups

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

CartiLife (low-dose group)

Total defect volume in low-dose group is less than 2 ㎤. Low- and high-dose group are sequentially processed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CartiLife

Intervention Type DRUG

Biological: CartiLife® Procedure: CartiLife® is beads (1.0 to 1.5 mm in diameter) in suspension, developed from autologous chondrocytes. The beads are implanted in a volume of 1 cm3 per the capacity of the syringe to the affected area through injection with a fibrin adhesive through minimal arthrotomy.

CartiLife (high-dose group)

Total defect volume in High-dose group is 2 \~ 4 ㎤.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CartiLife

Intervention Type DRUG

Biological: CartiLife® Procedure: CartiLife® is beads (1.0 to 1.5 mm in diameter) in suspension, developed from autologous chondrocytes. The beads are implanted in a volume of 1 cm3 per the capacity of the syringe to the affected area through injection with a fibrin adhesive through minimal arthrotomy.
