Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Brief summary

Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator-controlled study of TLC599.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator-controlled pivotal study. Approximately 500 adult patients with moderate to severe pain due to OA of the knee will be enrolled and randomized. All patients will be followed for a total of 52 weeks. Efficacy and safety of 2 doses of TLC599 will be evaluated in comparison to Placebo and DSP through Week 52.

Interventions

DRUGTLC599

TLC599 is a proprietary (Bioseizer) lipid formulation containing DSP (active ingredient)

DRUGDSP

Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) is a glucocorticoid widely used in the treatment of joint pain such as gout, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis via IA injection.

Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain at Week 12 for TLC599 12 mg Versus PlaceboBaseline, Week 12The WOMAC (Western Ontario & McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Version 3.1) consists of 24 questions rated on a 0-4 Likert scale, totaling a score from 0-96, reflecting the previous 24 hours. Sub-scale scores for Pain (5 items, a 0-20 scale), Stiffness (2 items, a 0-8 scale), and Physical Function (17 items, a 0-68 scale) are summed to calculate the WOMAC Composite score. Both composite and sub-scale scores are normalized to a 0-4 scale for analysis, with higher scores indicating greater severity.
