This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), provides $1,205,522 to the University of Chicago to conduct a pilot study on the use of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) as a novel, minimally invasive treatment for reducing pain in patients with medically refractory mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. The project aims to establish the feasibility of enrolling patients, understand the magnitude of effect between GAE and a sham procedure, and explore the use of MRI as an objective tool to quantify changes in synovitis and knee perfusion. If successful, the findings from this pilot study will inform the design of a larger, definitive sham-controlled study to validate the efficacy of GAE as a treatment option for the millions of Americans suffering from this debilitating condition. The award period runs from September 20, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
