Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Three injections each of 5ml stromal vascular fraction containing adipose-derived stem cells two months apart. Time-points for injections: 1) initial injection, 2) two months following initial injection and 3) four months following initial injection. This results in a total treatment duration of five months.
Intervention code [1] 264201 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Three injections each of 2ml (16 mg) of Hylan G-F 20 two months apart. Time-points for injections: 1) initial injection, 2) two months following initial injection and 3) four months following initial injection. This results in a total treatment duration of five months.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 262313 0
Pain measured using 100mm Visual Analogue Score (VAS)
Timepoint [1] 262313 0
Baseline, daily for the first two weeks, weekly for the subsequent two weeks and four and eight weeks, and six and 12 months, following the final injection
Primary outcome [2] 262314 0
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score
Timepoint [2] 262314 0
Baseline, four and eight weeks, and six and 12 months, following the final injection
Secondary outcome [1] 273509 0
Maximum single leg hop for distance. Participant hops as far as possible and the distance (in cm) from the toe in starting position to heel in landing position is measured by the researcher using a tape measure. The best of three hops is recorded.
Timepoint [1] 273509 0
Baseline, four and eight weeks, and six and 12 months, following the final injection
Secondary outcome [2] 273510 0
Maximum number of knee bends performed in 30 seconds. Participant bends the knee without bending forward from the hip (until they cannot see a line along the toes, equivalent to about 30 degrees of knee flexion) as many times as possible in 30 seconds. Time is recorded using a stopwatch and number of bends are counted by the researcher.
Timepoint [2] 273510 0
Baseline, four and eight weeks, and six and 12 months, following the final injection
Secondary outcome [3] 273511 0
Whole Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score
Timepoint [3] 273511 0
Baseline, six and 12 months, following the final injection

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Recruited via a sports medicine clinic and provided with a full medical examination and assessment of the affected knee joint to determine study eligibility. Eligible participants will be allocated to either the control or intervention group by an independent clinic staff member using a central concealed computer randomisation process.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Random order concealed allocation of participants into either the control or intervention group will be performed by
simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e., computerised sequence generation). There will be no stratified allocation.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
