Brief Summary

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

This is a double blind, randomized,multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-articular administration of Allocetra compared to placebo in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

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

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease driven by physical breakdown of the joint cartilage, together with a chronic inflammation within the knee space. Over time, many patients will develop worsening pain in the joint and functional impairment, which may ultimately require knee replacement.

Allocetra is an immunomodulatory cell-based therapy consisting of allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells that have been modified to be engulfed by macrophages and reprogram them into their homeostatic state.

This Phase 1/2a study is comprised of an open-label safety run-in stage to characterize safety and tolerability of repeated injections of Allocetra to a target knee , followed by a double-blind randomized stage to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Allocetra repeated injections to the target knee compared to placebo, in moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis patients. Patients in both stages will be followed for up to a year following last treatment. the last treatment.
