A single-arm, open-label, multisite, FDA approved clinical study in Kellgren-Lawrence severity grade 2-4 KOA patients. The cellular product was manufactured from patient-specific lipoaspirate in a centrally located FDA-compliant manufacturing facility. Twenty-nine subjects were treated with a quality tested single intra-articular injection of GMP manufactured SVF. Adverse events, laboratory values, vital signs, and physical examination findings were monitored during the study period. Robust tolerability, without any substantial safety issues, was demonstrated. Knee pain and function, assessed through the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), demonstrated notable improvements. These positive benefits persisted for up to 12 months, and the majority of participants expressed satisfaction.
