Brief Summary

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

Intraarticular hyaluronan or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is each effective in the treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The efficacy of combined hyaluronan with PRP for knee OA remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a single intraarticular hyaluronan (HYAJOINT Plus) combined with a single PRP versus a single intraarticular PRP in patients with knee OA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Intraarticular HA or PRP has been used for knee OA for years. Combined HA and PRP has not been widely used for OA because of lack of clinical evidence. Based on in vitro and animal studies, combining HA and PRP may benefit from their dissimilar biological mechanisms for tissue repair and have potentials to synergistically promote cartilage regeneration, inhibit OA inflammation, modulate the disease process, and improve joint homeostasis in OA. Combination of HA and PRP has much potential for the treatment of OA, but the clinical evidence of this combination remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of combined a single crosslinked HA (HYAJOINT Plus) with a single PRP versus a single PRP alone in patients with knee OA.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients with symptomatic knee OA were randomized to receive a single intraarticular injection of HYAJOINT Plus (3 ml) followed by 3 ml PRP (the combined-injection group) or a single injection of 3 ml PRP (the one-injection group).
