    Session Title: APPROACHes and beyond

    Session Description: The Applied Public-Private Research enabling OsteoArthritis Clinical Headway (APPROACH) consortium aimed to prospectively describe in detail, preselected patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), using conventional and novel clinical, imaging, and biochemical markers, to support OA drug development. The APPROACH cohort is a prospective study including 297 patients with tibiofemoral OA, according to the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria followed for two years. Patients were (pre)selected from existing cohorts using machine learning models, developed on data from the CHECK cohort, to display a high likelihood of radiographic joint space width (JSW) loss and/or knee pain progression. Extensive clinical and molecular data have been collected, and we intend with this introductory seminar to present the data package and the first results coming out of the consortium.

    Session Title: Outcomes of rehabilitation in osteoarthritis

    Session Description: Outcome measures for management programs in osteoarthritis rehabilitation will facilitate better comparison between programs in clinical settings and patient populations, and will improve researchers' ability to better evaluate their effects. These outcomes could cover different facets of the patient's symptoms and risk factors, such as pain, stiffness, physical inactivity. Intervention strategies should include a range of intervention strategies, such as patient education, physical activity, exercise, weight loss, and assistive devices. This session will focus on outcomes of management programs in osteoarthritis rehabilitation, including self-management, patient education, and exercise therapy.

    Session Title: Cell and Gene Therapy - Regenerative Medicine

    Session Description: Articular cartilage has a limited capacity for self-regeneration after injury. Repair of lesions of the articular cartilage is, therefore, a major clinical challenge. In several preclinical and clinical studies, chondrocytes and/or stem cells, delivered in suspension or seeded into biomaterials, have been shown to repair cartilage defects. In this webinar, we will learn about novel translational stem cell-mediated approaches currently under investigation for the repair of articular cartilage and the treatment of osteoarthritis.
