About

This is a prospective, multi-location safety and effectiveness study, and data registry of autologous adult ADRCs generated by the Transpose® RT System in subjects with OA in the shoulder, wrist, knee, hip, or ankle.

Full description

Subjects who have signed informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) authorization, and are determined to meet all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study and receive the ADRC treatment.

The subject will have an injection procedure (ADRC treatment) For this study, a licensed physician trained in liposuction must perform the syringe liposuction procedure. The licensed physician who performs the lipoplasty may be the Investigator or a non-Investigator physician (e.g., a plastic surgeon) who is trained on the study protocol.

All subjects will undergo a minor syringe liposuction procedure to acquire approximately 100 mL of lipoaspirate for preparation of ADRC using the Transpose® RT System. The removed tissue is processed to extract a cell suspension (the cell product). Once the cell product has been obtained, tested, and found to conform to release criteria, the subject will be treated with the ADRCs.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

All Cohorts:

To be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all the following criteria.

Inclusion Criteria-ALL Cohorts:

  1. Men and women age 18 or older
  2. Clinical and radiographic diagnosis of OA in one of the following areas: Ankle, Hip, Knee, Shoulder, or Wrist
  3. Continued OA pain in the targeted joint despite conservative measures (per treating provider's discretion)
  4. Average daily VAS Pain Score ≥3
  5. Understand and provide written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures
  6. On physical exam. subject appears to have adequate adipose tissue for liposuction
  7. Subject must also meet additional inclusion criteria specific to the targeted joint cohort

Ankle Cohort:

  1. Currently Kellgren-Lawrence Grade II, III or IV in the ankle based on X-ray (weight-bearing mortise views with 20⁰ internal rotation)
  2. Ankle pain for at least 6 months, despite conservative treatment or inability to tolerate the side effects of medications
  3. Normal activity level, not bedridden or confined to a wheelchair, able to walk 30 meters without the aid of a walker, crutches or cane

Hip Cohort:

1. Hip OA diagnosed on x-ray and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (Tӧnnis grade 1, 2, or 3)

Knee Cohort:

  1. Kellgren-Lawrence system of Grade II, III, or IV
  2. Subject may have concomitant patellofemoral but they must have stage II or higher generalized knee OA

Shoulder Cohort:

  1. Grades 1, 2 or 3 OA in the index glenohumeral joint based on the Samilson-Prieto classification system as confirmed by X-ray (axillary view and true anterior-posterior view)

  2. Subjects who have failed standard non-surgical management of their shoulder arthritis who would benefit from a shoulder arthroplasty. Failed medical management will be defined as persistent pain and disability despite adequate standard non-operative management for 6 months. Medical management will be defined as:

    1. The use of drugs including analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
    2. Activity modification

Wrist Cohort:

1. Clinical symptoms consistent with wrist OA

Exclusion Criteria- ALL Cohorts:

  1. Subject cannot meet any of the exclusion criteria listed of the targeted joint cohort
  2. Viscosupplementation within 6 months of screening in the targeted joint
  3. Other Biologic Injection (Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or stem cell) within 6 months in the targeted joint
  4. Surgery in the targeted joint within the past 6 months (either open or scope)
  5. Planned/anticipated surgery of the targeted joint during study participation
  6. Systemic or intra-articular injection of corticosteroids in any joint within 3 months before screening (re-screening allowed once this criteria is met)
  7. Females of childbearing age who have not used or do not plan to use acceptable birth control measures, for the duration of the study. Oral, injected or implanted hormonal contraceptive, barrier methods (condom or diaphragm with spermicide), intrauterine device, surgical sterilization, transdermal delivery, congenital sterility or sexual abstinence are considered acceptable forms of birth control. If sexually active, the subject must have been using one of the accepted birth control methods at least one month prior to study entry.
  8. Part of a vulnerable population per Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) definition (pregnant women and breast-feeding women, cognitively impaired, prisoners, etc.)
  9. Unwilling to discontinue the use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory (NSAID)s for 7 calendar days prior to the procedure
  10. Unwilling to discontinue NSAIDS for 5 calendar days after procedure
  11. Insufficient amount of subcutaneous tissue to allow recovery of at least 100mL of lipoaspirate
  12. Diagnosed musculoskeletal cancer or any diagnosed cancer, other than musculoskeletal if not on long term remission (e.g. at least 5 years or negative biopsy at last exam), except basal cell carcinoma
  13. Have received chronic (more than 7 consecutive days) treatment with systemic corticosteroids at a dose equivalent to prednisone ≥ 10 mg/day within 14 days prior to an injection procedure.
  14. Subject is currently participating in another clinical trial that has not yet completed its primary endpoint. (Nonintervention observational studies are not exclusionary.)
