Brief Summary: The MAST-GR study is a randomized controlled interventional trial with parallel treatment arms and 1:1 allocation The primary objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular infiltration of Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with one of minimally manipulated adipose tissue (MM-AT) so as to determine the most effective cellular product in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The secondary objective is to demonstrate whether intra-articular infiltration of BMAC or MM-AT can induce disease-modifying effects in knee OA by imaging and biological assessments on peripheral blood. The tertiary objective of the study is to identify factors that influence the clinical response to treatment (baseline characteristics of patients, biological characteristics of the treated knee, characteristics of cellular products, BMAC and MM-AT).
Detailed Description: Patients with symptomatic unilateral knee OA will be included in a randomized controlled Trial (RCT), in which one group of patients will be treated with 1 intra-articular infiltration of BMAC, and one group will be treated with 1 intra-articular infiltration of MM-AT. A total of 204 patients will be included and will undergo infiltrative treatment after collecting informed consent for study participation and master data. Patients will be clinically evaluated at 0-2-6-12 months follow-up. Possible disease-modifying effects of the two cell products will be investigated by analysis on peripheral blood at 0-2-6-12 months follow-up and by evaluation of radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 0 and 12 months follow-up. In addition, characterization of the portion of BMAC and MM-AT remaining from treatment will be carried out, as well as baseline assessment of peripheral blood on all patients, and synovial fluid and synovial membrane, where possible, to analyze their influence on clinical outcome.
