15.01.2022 Current management approaches for osteoarthritis are usually targeted to symptoms. One way to mitigate the epidemic of osteoarthritis is to modify both its structural progression and symptomatic consequences in tandem a method known as disease modification, as distinct from symptom modification. These could potentially slow the speed of disease progression, completely halted or in an ideal world reverse the disease and regenerate the target tissue. At present, despite a numbe...r of positive trials there are no drugs that have garnered regulatory approval for this indication. On this week's episode with Christoph Ladel, we discuss: what is disease modification, what have the clinical trials shown, what will the future of DMOADs look like and much more.
