Brief summary
The objective of this 2-year study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and disease modifying efficacy of SD 6010, an inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The efficacy of SD-6010 will be evaluated by radiography using joint space narrowing in the medial tibiofemoral compartment of the study knee as the primary endpoint.
Interventions

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Subjects aged \>= 40 years Diagnosed with knee OA (ACR definition of OA) Radiographic evidence of OA in the study knee
Exclusion criteria
A diagnosis of any other rheumatic disease Current conditions in the study knee that would confound efficacy Selected, traditional clinical safety and laboratory parameters
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the progression rate of joint space narrowing in the study knee of subjects with knee OA over a 24-month period | 24 months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical benefit of SD 6010 will be measured from changes in response from baseline to 24 months in 7 patient reported outcomes (PRO), including, but not limited to, WOMAC, pain VAS, ICOAP, KOOS. | 24 months |
| Total analgesic medication burden for OA in the study knee will be compared back to baseline of an increased, sustained use of standard background and/or rescue medication for more than 30 days as measured at the Month 12 and 24 visits | 24 months |
| Safety: Change from baseline to M24 in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate) measurements will be assessed | 24 months |
| Safety: Change from baseline to M24 in ECG abnormalities | 24 months |
| Safety: In a subset of subjects: Change from baseline on average as assessed by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at months 3 and 6 | 6 months |
