Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of ArtiBest in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The change from baseline The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain score at 26 weeks post injection. 2. The change from baseline VAS resting pain score at 12 and 26 weeks post injection. 3. The change from baseline The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain score at 12 weeks post injection. 4. The change from baseline Patient's Global Assessment PGA) using VAS scoring at 12 and 26 weeks post injection. 5. The OMERACT OARSI responder rate at 12 and 26 weeks post injection. 6. The VAS satisfaction score at 12 and 26 weeks post injection 7. The incidence of Adverse events reported during the study period. Participants will undergo a single injection of ArtiBest at treatment visit, and three follow up visits at week 4 , 12 , and 26.

Detailed description

This single center, single arm, open label, interventional study aims to assess the effectiveness and the safety profiles of ArtiBest ® Intra articular Injection(MAXIGEN BIOTECH INC., Taiwan). It plans to enroll approximately 60 eligible patients to receive a 3 ml single pre-filled syringe per knee joint at the treatment visit. Each syringe contains 20 mg/mL sodium hyaluronate. Follow-up visits will be at 4 weeks(a telephone contact by the investigator), 12 weeks and 26 weeks after the injections. All endpoints are planning to evaluate the change between baseline(pre-treatment) and 12 and 26 weeks post-injection. The OMERACT-OARSI responder rate will also be calculated. And the exploratory endpoints will evaluate the change in the range of motion (ROM) at 12 and 26 weeks post-injection. Additionally, the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (KL grade) at baseline and 26 weeks, as well as the target joint space at baseline and 26weeks, will also be analyzed. In general, the change from the baseline of continuous data will be performed by paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The statistical analysis for primary endpoint will be one-sided under a significance level of 0.025. Unless otherwise specified, other statistical analysis will be two-sided under a significance level of 0.05.
