Brief summary
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the cartilage degradation. PG-530742 inhibits some MMPs, potentially limiting cartilage degradation and disease progression. This study will test the efficacy and safety of PG-530742 in the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed description
Matrix metalloproteinases have been implicated in the cartilage degradation that occurs in osteoarthritis. PG-530742 inhibits some of these matrix metalloproteinases, thus potentially limiting cartilage degradation and disease progression. This study will test the efficacy and safety of PG-530742 in the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Interventions
200 mg PG-530742 tablet, twice a day for one year
One 50 mg PG-530742 tablet, twice daily for for one year
100 mg PG-530742 tablet, twice a day for one year
One 25 mg PG-530742 tablet, twice daily for for one year

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis confirmed by a radiographic technique.
Exclusion criteria
* secondary knee osteoarthritis; * diseases other than osteoarthritis that could cause knee pain; * any disease or intervention (surgery, intra-articular injection) that would have an impact on knee pain or mobility; * drugs that act potentially on the bone or cartilage component of the knee joint.

The WOMAC consists of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: Pain (5 items), Stiffness (2 items), Physical Function (17 items). The WOMAC uses descriptors for all items: none, mild moderate, severe, and extreme (corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4.) Scores are summed for items in each subscale, with possible ranges as follows: pain=0-20, stiffness=0-8, physical function=0-68. The total WOMAC score is created by summing the items for all three subscales (min=0, max=96) |

Outcome results
Change in Minimum Joint Space Width in the Medial Compartment of the Tibiofemoral Joint of the Signal Knee After 1 Year of Treatment
The structural primary efficacy endpoint is the 1-year change from baseline in minimum joint space width (JSW) in the medial compartment of the tibiofemoral joint of the signal knee, as measured by microfocal knee radiographs obtained in the semi-flexed position.
Time frame: baseline and 12 months
Population: An intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis was conducted on all patients who were randomized and took at least one dose of study drug. Any missing data for these patients was not imputed in the primary analysis.~analysis.
