  • Written informed consent
  • Men or women aged between 40 and 70 years
  • At least 40 mm on motion and at least 10 mm at rest on the 100 mm-VAS (Visual Analog Scale) for average arthritic joint pain in the knee to be studied during the last 2 days, with or without pain medication.
  • Previously documented radiography showing a Kellgren Lawrence Grade 2 - 4 severity.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential or female partners of childbearing potential of male patients must agree to use a reliable contraceptive method for at least one month after the injection of MTX-071.
  • Subject is highly likely to comply with the protocol and complete the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Knee surgery within 6 months before study start or planned for any time during the next 6 months.
  • Any injection into the knee to be studied within the preceding 7 days or trauma to the knee not yet healed.
  • History of any clinically significant cardiac, renal, and/or other relevant disease or malignancy.

  • Clinically significant abnormal ECG
  • History of clinically relevant drug/chemical/ substance/alcohol abuse within the past 2 years prior to screening.
  • Symptomatic, viral, bacterial (including upper respiratory infection), or fungal (non-cutaneous) infection within the past 2 weeks prior to study medication administration.
  • Patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis C antibody, or for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), tuberculosis.
