Phase 2: Genicular Artery Embolization for Knee Osteoarthritis

Genicular Artery Embolization for Reducing Pain in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot randomly assigned Sham-Controlled Study (SHAM-PAIN) is a NIH-NIAMS funded project designed to assess enrollment feasibility and detect any differences between GAE and a similar sham intervention in reducing KOA-related pain at 3 months as measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscore. Additionally, this study aims to determine the magnitude of difference in pain response between GAE and sham to adequately power a larger, more definitive randomly assigned sham-controlled trial (RCT).

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06859164 · University of Utah · enrollment listed as 40

What this phase means

Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Genicular Artery Embolization, Lipiodol, or Simple angiogram. The registry lists allocation as randomized. Genicular Artery Embolization for Reducing Pain in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot randomly assigned Sham-Controlled Study (SHAM-PAIN) is a NIH-NIAMS funded project designed to assess enrollment feasibility and detect any differences between GAE and a similar sham intervention in reducing KOA-related pain at 3 months as measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscore.

They plan to enroll about 40 people at Salt Lake City. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device, a procedure as part of the study plus check-ins.
