Safety study of Safety and Efficacy of MACI in Chondral Defect; Osteochondritis Dissecans ; Articular Cartilage Defect; Articular Cartilage Disorder of Knee

This study is exploring observational follow-up for people with ocd. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

This appears to be a biological / biomarker / imaging study involving MACI, microfracture. Phase 3 studies are usually larger and aim to confirm effectiveness and safety in a broader group.

This study may concern people with ocd; age range: From 10 Years to 17 Years. The criteria appear fairly broad, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

You may need to provide biological samples, complete lab tests, or take part in imaging or measurement procedures. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

If the study involves samples, imaging, or biomarkers, ask what is collected, how it is stored, who can access results, whether there may be discomfort, and whether results are shared with you. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by Vericel Corporation, which appears to be another type of organization. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The public registry lists this study as recruiting. Individual sites may have different statuses. The research team must confirm whether a site is open and whether you meet the criteria.
