Contemporary treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) pursue only to alleviate the pain caused by the illness. Discovering disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) that can induce the repair and regeneration of articular tissues would be of substantial usefulness. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the contemporary role of DMOADs in managing OA. A narrative literature review on the subject, exploring the Cochrane Library and PubMed (MEDLINE) was performed. It was encountered that many publications have analyzed the impact of several DMOAD methods, including anti-cytokine therapy (tanezumab, AMG 108, adalimumab, etanercept, anakinra), enzyme inhibitors (M6495, doxycycline, cindunistat, PG-116800), growth factors (bone morphogenetic protein-7, sprifermin), gene therapy (micro ribonucleic acids, antisense oligonucleotides), peptides (calcitonin) and others (SM04690, senolitic, transient receptor potential vanilloid 4, neural EGFL-like 1, TPCA-1, tofacitinib, lorecivivint and quercitrin)...
