Osteoarthritis, Hip, Osteoarthritis, Knee

Brief summary

The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the cellular and connective tissue composition of joints from patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) who have been treated with fasinumab, compared with those treated with placebo or Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants by Degree of Bony Changes

Microscopic articular features including degree of bony changes were evaluated and scored (Normal, Sclerosis \[Lamellar/Mixed\], Subarticular Fracture/Collapse).

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks from the last dose of study drug in the parent study, an average of approximately 3 months

Population: Arthroplasty analysis set: All participants who are enrolled in this study, have histological evaluation data and is based on the treatment received in their parent study (as treated).
