Setting: Single-center study with outpatients from university hospital , Faculty of Medicine , Assiut, Egypt .\n\nParticipants: 60 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and ultrasonography-defined effusion-synovitis. Randomized to 3 arms ( natural Senolytic agents alone, natural senolytic plus natural NLRP3 Inflammasome inhibitors and placebo) Intervention: The senolytic agents act by Hit-and-run strategy therefore, intermittent dosing regimens will be applied. 1250 mg/day quercetin + 1000mg/day Fisetin for 3 consecutive days every 3 weeks (n = 20), quercetin + Fisetin for 3 consecutive days followed by 100mg/day glycyrrhizin for one week every 3 weeks (n=20) or matched placebo (n = 20) over 15 weeks Measurements: . The primary outcome measures were change in knee pain (assessed by visual analogue scale VAS) and effusion-synovitis volume on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Secondary outcomes are listed as follows: knee pain, function, and stiffness assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), OARSI-OMERACT (Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical trials- Osteoarthritis Research Society International) responders to treatment, cartilage compositional change assessed by cartilage T2 relaxation time (ms), pain medication usage, change in quality of life (Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL-4D) questionnaire),', 'detailedDescription': 'Osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative disease of the joint leading to cartilage damage, pain and loss of function affecting an estimated 250 million people worldwide and 27 million people in the United States .Currently, there are no effective FDA-approved therapies that are disease-modifying interventions to block the joint destruction pathway because of osteoarthritis. The most prevalent first-line treatment for OA is to mitigate pain and restore function with a combination of weight management, physical therapy, mind-body exercises, and analgesia with paracetamol or NSAIDs (topical or oral) . Another prominent treatment strategy is the use of intra-articular corticosteroids (CS) to reduce pain and inflammation via targeting production of interleukins, leukotrienes and prostaglandins.\n\nHowever, the palliative effects of CS for OA are often short-term, can potentially lead to chondral fissuring and promotion of dose-independent structural changes in cartilage, and there are no consistent reports of efficacy .\n\nOne novel potential and appealing approach for treating osteoarthritis is through the local and systemic elimination of senescent cells. Senescent cell burden increases significantly with age and has been shown to promote several age-related pathologies including degenerative joint conditions. Senescent cells are non-proliferative, resistant to apoptosis, and secrete pro-inflammatory factors that promote disease and systemic aging .Cellular senescence can be induced by a variety of extrinsic and intrinsic signals that leads to the production of a collection of various proinflammatory cytokines and other factors that initiate senescence in neighbouring cells and promote disease and tissue dysfunction. Thus, senescent cells and their associate senescence associated secretory phenotype profiles likely play a role in both the clinical manifestation of OA (pain) and disease pathogenesis (tissue dysfunction and cartilage degradation.\n\nThe overall safety and efficacy of several senolytic drugs to treat chronic diseases have been demonstrated in several preclinical studies and more recently in phase I-II clinical trials for OA. However, there are no encouraging results with the use of natural senescent agents such as quercetin or fisetin as disease-modifying agents in OA, therefore, our study will investigate the effect of a combination of natural senescent agents and NLRP3 inhibitors on inflammation.\n\nInflammasomes play a crucial role in innate immunity by serving as signalling platforms which deal with a plethora of pathogenic products and cellular products associated with stress and damage. By far, the best studied and most characterized inflammasome is NLRP3 inflammasome, which consists of NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat (NLR) and pyrin domain containing receptor 3). The hyperactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in a wide range of inflammatory diseases. The search and development of anti-inflammatory drugs from natural sources of plants has received extensive attention. licorice extract has high activity and wide therapeutic effects.it has reported that glycyrrhizin could ameliorate fibrosis and inflammation via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and NF-κB signalling pathway.\n\nour aim is to determine the efficacy of Natural senolytic agents and NLRP3 Inflammasome inhibitors for reducing knee symptoms and effusion- synovitis in patients with symptomatic knee Osteoarthritis and knee effusion /synovitis.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* male or female, ages 40-80;\n* Are willing to comply with all study related procedures and assessments;\n* ambulatory as defined by ability to complete functional performance testing;\n* Radiographic evidence of Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-IV osteoarthritis in one or both knees;\n* Scores 4-10 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain;\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnant or nursing females.\n* Subjects who do not have the capacity to consent themselves.\n* Subjects who are unable to tolerate oral medication.\n* Subjects with uncontrolled medical conditions .\n* Surgery on the Study Knee in the past 6 months.\n* intra-articular injection of corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid in the past 6 months.\n* subjects with significant liver or renal disease.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05276895', 'briefTitle': 'Effect of Natural Senolytic Agents & NLRP3 Inhibitors on Osteoarthritis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assiut University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Evaluation of the Efficacy of Natural Senolytic Agents and NLRP3 Inhibitors in Treatment of Osteoarthritis: Randomized, Double Blinded ,Placebo Controlled Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '17101628'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '(Quercetin +Fisetin)', 'description': '20 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and ultrasonography defined effusion-synovitis will take natural Senolytic agents.\n\nThe senolytic agents act by Hit-and-run strategy therefore, intermittent dosing regimens will be applied. 1250 mg/day quercetin + 1000mg/day Fisetin for 3 consecutive days every 3 weeks.over 12 weeks', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Quercetin and Fisetin tab.']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Quercetin +Fisetin +Glycyrrhizin)', 'description': '20 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and ultrasonography-defined effusion-synovitis will take Quercetin 1250 mg + Fisetin 1000 mg for 3 consecutive days followed by 100mg/day Glycyrrhizin for one week every 3 weeks over 12 weeks .', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Quercetin Cap/Tab,Fisetin Cap/tab and Glycyrrhizin capsules']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'description': 'Placebo controlled group', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Placebo']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Quercetin and Fisetin tab.', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': '1250 mg/day quercetin + 1000mg/day Fisetin for 3 consecutive days every 3 weeks over 15 weeks .', 'armGroupLabels': ['(Quercetin +Fisetin)']}, {'name': 'Quercetin Cap/Tab,Fisetin Cap/tab and Glycyrrhizin capsules', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'quercetin + Fisetin for 3 consecutive days followed by 100mg/day glycyrrhizin for one week every 3 weeks over 15 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['Quercetin +Fisetin +Glycyrrhizin)']}, {'name': 'Placebo', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Placebo capsule for one week every 3 weeks over 15 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['Placebo']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '71515', 'city': 'Asyut', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Assiut University, Faculty of Medicine', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 27.18096, 'lon': 31.18368}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Adel A.
