Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Umbilical Cord

Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Umbilical Cord in the Treatment of Knee Joint Osteoarthritis

This study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord in the treatment of 7 knee OA patients by assessing unexplained local and systemic symptoms or death before and at 1, 2, 3, 6 months after the injection.

This is a single group assignment study with a total of 9 knee osteoarthritis patients participants. All of the patients will receive the anticular injection with MSCs from umbilical cord and unexplained local and systemic symptoms or death before the end of following-up will be assessed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord.
