Knee Osteoarthritis
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of micronized dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane as compared to the 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP placebo control for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis
Detailed description
Each subject will receive 1 injection (micronized dHACM or placebo) and be evaluated for efficacy and safety during a 12-month observation period. A second injection (open-label access to micronized dHACM) will be offered to all subjects at the 180-day, 270-day, and 365-day time points, it may only be used once. Blinding for the first injection treatment allocation will be maintained until the end of the study. Subjects who receive the open-label access treatment will continue to be followed for 180 days after this second injection, regardless of the time at which treatment was received.
Interventions
Injection of 40 mg micronized dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (dHACM) suspended in 1 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride, USP
Injection of 1 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride, USP

| Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index at 90 Days | 90 days | Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. Self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 questions divided into 3 subscales: * Pain (5 questions) * Stiffness (2 questions) * Physical Function (17 questions) The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. A sum of the scores for all three subscales gives a total WOMAC score, with a possible total score range of 0-96. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. |
