Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| [Occurrence rate of adverse events 26 weeks after Ch-ADSCs transplantation] Regarding adverse events, we will calculate the frequency of the worst grade from fat collection by CTCAE v5.0-JCOG to 26 weeks later. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| [Efficacy 26 weeks after Ch-ADSCs transplantation] To evaluate the efficacy of Ch-ADSCs transplantation, pain evaluation by VAS listening, KOOS evaluation, and MRI image evaluation will be performed. VAS and KOOS evaluations are performed at enrollment and 4, 12, and 26 weeks after Ch-ADSCs transplantation. MRI examinations are performed at enrollment and 26 weeks. There are two types of MRI imaging conditions: normal imaging such as PD and T2 star MERGE, and T2 mapping. For evaluation, MRI osteoarthritis knee score (MOAKS) is used to evaluate bone marrow lesions, cartilage defects, osteophytes, synovitis, and joint edema, and cartilage is evaluated by T2 mapping. | — |
