safety and efficacy of oms103hp-s administered in joint irrigation solution to subjects undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy

Conditions: Meniscal Tear

Summary: the purpose of this study is to assess the effect of oms103hp solution for injection (oms103hp-s) and function as measured by the knee osteoarthritis outcome survey (koos) symptoms subscale through day 30 compared with vehicle irrigation solution for knee symptoms in subjects undergoing meniscectomy.
