The Effect of Intra-Articular Injection of RegenoGel-OSP™ (Self-Plasma) and RegenoGel™ on Knee Pain in People Suffering From Osteoarthritis

Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Intra-articular Injection of RegenoGel-OSP and RegenoGel as a Treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA)

This study evaluates the efficacy of intra-articular administration of RegenoGel-OSP™ and RegenoGel™ to treat knee pain and effect on subject's activity and quality of life. During the study the subjects will receive two treatments at a 3-month interval. The study is double-blinded. The subjects will be randomized and sequentially assigned to RegenoGel-OSP™, RegenoGel or placebo treatment in the first treatment. In the second treatment after interval of three months all the subjects will necessarily receive one of the two active products. The follow-up period will continue for one year after first treatment.
