A Phase 1/2a to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Adipose Tissue Allograft (BRC-OA) in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee (NCT06828666)

A Phase 1/2a, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Single-Blind, Dose-Finding Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Cryopreserved Devitalized Adipose Tissue Allograft (BRC-OA) for Pain Treatment in Subjects With Mild to Severe Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Knee

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Britecyte

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of BRC-OA for pain treatment in patients with mild to severe OA of the knee, focusing particularly on two distinct doses. Alongside safety assessments, the study also aims to investigate the initial efficacy of BRC-OA in treating pain among these patients. The study product is a cryopreserved devitalized adipose tissue allograft (BRC-OA). BRC-OA is composed of a devitalized human adipose particulate that retains the inherent properties of adipose such as tissue architecture, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules.
