In January 2026, 4Moving Biotech (4MB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation, disease-modifying therapies for osteoarthritis (OA), announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for 4P004. This clearance allows the Phase 2a INFLAM MOTION clinical trial to expand into the United States. The FDA approval represents a strategic milestone in 4MB’s global clinical efforts across Europe, Canada, and now the U.S., strengthening the company’s position as a leader in the pursuit of the first disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) for patients worldwide.
-
In November 2025, Novo Nordisk has released new findings from the OASIS 4 Phase 3 trial, which investigated various patient populations and hypotheses, further supporting the potential of this therapy. Injectable semaglutide 2.4 mg, marketed as Wegovy®, is approved in the EU as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management in adults with a BMI of ≥30 kg/m² (obesity) or ≥27 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity. Wegovy® is also approved for pediatric patients aged 12 and older with an initial BMI at or above the 95th percentile and body weight over 60 kg. The label highlights clinical evidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) risk reduction, improvements in HFpEF-related symptoms and physical function, and pain relief for knee osteoarthritis.
-
In May 2025, Lipogems announced the successful completion of its ARISE I U.S. FDA IDE Study, with the final patient visit now concluded. This marks a significant milestone in progressing Lipogems as a treatment option for knee osteoarthritis (OA) in patients who are not eligible for or ready to undergo knee replacement. The double-blind, randomized controlled trial included 173 participants across 18 leading U.S. clinical sites. The study’s primary focus is on assessing pain relief and functional improvement 12 months after injection. Results on efficacy and safety are anticipated by late 2025.
-
In May 2025, Genascence Corporation, a clinical-stage biotech firm focused on transforming musculoskeletal disease treatment through gene therapy, reported positive 12-month safety and biomarker findings from its Phase 1b DONATELLO trial of GNSC-001. This investigational gene therapy targets interleukin 1 (IL-1) for treating knee osteoarthritis (OA). The 12-month results confirmed the trial met its primary endpoint, showing consistent safety and tolerability across all tested doses. Additionally, the study met a key secondary endpoint, demonstrating sustained IL-1Ra expression in synovial fluid, reinforcing the six-month data previously reported.
-
In May 2025, Moximed, a pioneering medical device company focused on enhancing care for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA), announced that the first patients have been treated in its latest randomized controlled trial (RCT). The MOTION study is a prospective, multicenter trial designed to compare the effectiveness of the MISHA Knee System against non-surgical treatment options in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis.
-
In April 2025, Pacira BioSciences reported that its gene therapy candidate, PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec), showed long-lasting improvements in knee pain, mobility, and stiffness for up to two years in a Phase I trial. Participants received a single local injection of the therapy. The study included 72 individuals aged 30 to 80, categorized based on the severity of their knee osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grading system.
-
In April 2025, Israel-based Enlivex Therapeutics announced the completion of enrollment for the Phase II portion of its Phase I/II trial evaluating Allocetra, an off-the-shelf cell therapy for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. In this phase, over 133 subjects were randomized and treated. The multi-center, randomized trial is divided into two stages, with Phase I being an open-label, dose-escalation study focused on assessing the safety and tolerability of Allocetra injections into the knee.
-
In March 2025, RION, a clinical-stage company specializing in regenerative medicine and exosome-based therapies, announced the enrollment of the first patient in its Phase 1b trial of Purified Exosome Product™ (PEP™) for treating Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). This marks a significant step in RION’s mission to develop cutting-edge regenerative solutions for unmet medical needs.
-
In September 2024, Cytonics announced the completion of patient enrollment in a Phase I clinical trial for CYT-108, which is being investigated as a potential disease-modifying therapy for knee osteoarthritis (OA). CYT-108 is a recombinant variant of the alpha-2-macroglobulin blood serum protease inhibitor.
Osteoarthritis Overview
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disorder characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It most commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine. OA is influenced by age, genetics, obesity, joint injuries, and repetitive stress on joints. While it is not curable, treatments focus on symptom relief, improving joint function, and slowing disease progression through medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions such as joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide, significantly impacting quality of life.
