Must fulfill 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) hand OA criteria, defined as hand pain, aching, or stiffness and three or four of the following features: •hard tissue enlargement of two or more of the following 10 selected joints: the second and third distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of both hands, the second and third proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of both hands, the first carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of both hands, •hard tissue enlargement of two or more DIP joints, •fewer than three swollen metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, and •deformity of at least one of the 10 selected joints. 3. Must have radiographic evidence of erosive hand OA with evidence of an "E" (erosive) or "E/R" (erosive with remodeling) joint as defined by Verbruggen and colleagues in at least one of the hand interphalangeal joints based on hand x-rays obtained during the Screening Period or within 3 months of the Screening Visit 4. Have one or more clinical signs and symptoms of active inflammation in at least three hand joints, with active inflammation defined as localized tenderness and/or soft tissue swelling at Screening and Day 1 Visit. 5. Subject Assessment of Hand Pain Intensity in at least one hand is = 6 (11-point Numeric Rating Scale [NRS-11]) at Screening and Day 1 Visit. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 80 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on pain using the Australian/Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index (AUSCAN NR3.1) pain subdomain score, in subjects with erosive hand OA at Week 16.;Secondary Objective: ? Evaluate the safety and tolerability of ABT-981 in subjects with erosive hand OA throughout the study. ? Evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on AUSCAN NR3.1 total and individual subdomain (pain, physical function and stiffness) scores of erosive hand OA throughout the study. ? Evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on Subject Assessment of Hand Pain Intensity via an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) throughout the study. ? Evaluate the effect of ABT-981 on Patient Global Assessment (PGA) of Hand Arthritis Status using a NRS-11 throughout the study. ? Evaluate the PK and ADA levels of ABT-981. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variables will be the changes from Baseline to Week 16 in AUSCAN NR3.1 pain subdomain score. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 16

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary efficacy endpoints including change in total AUSCAN score and individual subdomain (pain, physical function and stiffness) scores from Baseline, change of patient index hand resting pain from Baseline using NRS-11, and change of Patient Global Assessment of Arthritis from Baseline using NRS-11 will be analyzed similarly at Week 16. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Weeks 16
