Study summary

Evaluation of the performance and safety of a single-dose hyaluronic acid (Promovia hydro balance) in the treatment of non-traumatic degenerative meniscus tears

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a single-dose intra-articular hyaluronic acid treatment (Promovia Hydro Balance 100 mg/4 mL; Innate S.r.l, Novi Ligure (AL), Italy) in restoring joint function and reducing associated pain. The safety of the treatment will also be assessed.

Primary objective: To evaluate, using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the performance of intra-articular treatment with Promovia Hydro Balance at a 6-month follow-up (T6) in restoring joint function and improving associated pain in patients with non-traumatic degenerative meniscal tears.

Secondary objectives: To evaluate the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement in overall pain, joint stiffness, and patient quality of life at 3 (T3) and 6 months (T6) following the injection. The safety of the treatment and the consumption of analgesics/NSAIDs will also be evaluated in the various phases of the study at the various follow-up times.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • - Age between 35 and 75 years at the time of administration.
  • Presence of a symptomatic degenerative meniscus tear, not related to acute trauma, documented by MRI.
  • Positive meniscal tests.
  • Pain intensity NRS ≥ 4.
  • Willingness to participate in physical therapy or light exercise.
  • received, understood, and signed by the patient for active participation in the study and for the processing of personal data.
  • Ability of the patient to understand the study conditions and to participate for the entire duration of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients with traumatic meniscus tears.
  • Patients with a meniscal tear requiring surgical treatment (FLAP tear, radial tear, RAMP tear).
  • Patients with severe knee osteoarthritis.
  • Patients with axial deviation greater than 10°.
  • Patients who have undergone meniscal or ligament surgery in the previous 12 months.
  • Patients with rheumatic diseases or chondrocalcinosis.
  • Patients with signs of possible infection in the affected joint or a skin disease involving the knee (e.g., dermatitis, psoriasis).
  • Patients with diabetes.
  • Patients with coagulopathies, aggregation disorders, or those receiving oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs.
  • Patients receiving intra-articular or hyaluronic acid in the previous 12 months.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evalution T6 with Koos (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score): efficacy

    To evaluate, through the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) functional score, the performance of intra-articular treatment with Promovia Hydro Balance at 6 months follow-up (T6) in the recovery of joint function and improvement of associated pain in patients affected by non-traumatic degenerative meniscus lesions

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in the evaluation at 6 Months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Performance evaluation T3 with Koos Questionnaire

    Evaluate the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement of general pain, joint stiffness and patient quality of life 3 (T3) after infiltration treatment. T3 evaluation with Koos questionnaire

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in the evaluation at 3 Months

  2. Evaluation of performance T3 with Womac (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index)

    Secondary endpoints will consist of evaluating the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement in overall pain, joint stiffness and patient quality of life at 3 months. Evaluation with Womac scale (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index)

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in the evaluation at 3 Months

  3. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at T3 compared to baseline

    Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at T3 compared to baseline (T0). econdary endpoints will consist of evaluating the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement in overall pain, joint stiffness and patient quality of life

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in NRS at 3 month from T0

  4. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at 6 months

    Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at 6 months compared to baseline. Secondary endpoints will consist of evaluating the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement in overall pain, joint stiffness and patient quality of life

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in NRS at 6 months from T0

  5. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) at 6 months

    Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) at 6 months compared to baseline (T0). Secondary endpoints will consist of evaluating the performance of Promovia Hydro Balance in terms of improvement in overall pain, joint stiffness and patient quality of life

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 20, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
