The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of BRC-OA for pain treatment in patients with mild to severe OA of the knee, focusing particularly on two distinct doses. Alongside safety assessments, the study also aims to investigate the initial efficacy of BRC-OA in treating pain among these patients. The study product is a cryopreserved devitalized adipose tissue allograft (BRC-OA). BRC-OA is composed of a devitalized human adipose particulate that retains the inherent properties of adipose such as tissue architecture, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules.
The study will be conducted in two parts: * Part 1 (Safety Evaluation phase) - without control arm * Part 2 (Randomized Controlled phase) - with control arm In Part 1, six subjects will be treated with a 7-day staggering interval between each subject's enrollment. The initial 3 subjects will receive a 2 mL dose of BRCOA, and if deemed safe and well-tolerated by the investigator, the next 3 subjects will receive an 8 mL dose, also following a 7-day staggering interval to assess safety and tolerability. Once both dose levels (2 mL and 8 mL) are confirmed to be safe and tolerable, the study will advance to Part 2. In Part 2, a total of 36 subjects (12 subjects per arm) will be randomized 1:1:1 to three parallel arms to be administered via intraarticular injection of 2 mL or 8 mL of BRC-OA, or 2 mL of normal saline (control).

Primary Safety Outcome Measures
• Incidence and severity of local and systemic treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and SAEs
Time frame: From Baseline to 6 months
Primary Safety Outcome Measures
• Incidence of abnormal laboratory panel and vital signs (Baseline to 6 months)
Time frame: From Baseline to 6 months
Primary Efficacy Outcome Measure
• WOMAC VAS Pain Scale - WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) pain subscale consists of 5 individual questions. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left-hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks (0-100 mm) for 5 questions \[0 represents no knee pain, and 100 represents extreme knee pain\]. The results for each question are summed to calculate the total WOMAC pain subscale score ranging from a total of 0 to 500. The total WOMAC pain subscale score will be normalized/standardized on a scale from 0 to 100. A negative number for the change from baseline indicates a reduction in pain.
Time frame: From Baseline and 3 months
