    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Change From Baseline in WOMAC VA3.1 Pain Subscale Score at Month 6
    The primary endpoint is the Western Ontario McMaster universities (WOMAC®) VA3.1 Pain Subscale (subscale A): the individual changes in WOMAC® VA3.1 Pain Subscale Score between Baseline and Month 6 were calculated and compared by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), adjusted for baseline value, to the Reference group. Results are expressed as "adjusted mean" based on the model used for group comparison. WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index is a tri-dimensional, self-administered, patient-centred health status questionnaire for knee disease severity ans osteonecrosis symptoms. The WOMAC® Index Pain Subscale (VAS format) was used. The VAS score was determined by measuring in millimetres from the left-hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks (0-100 mm) for 5 questions. Results are summed and normalized on a 100 mm scale: 0 represents no knee pain and 100 extreme knee pain.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    WOMAC® Pain Subscale at Month 3
    The primary endpoint is the Western Ontario McMaster universities (WOMAC®) VA3.1 Pain Subscale (subscale A): the individual changes in WOMAC® VA3.1 Pain Subscale Score between Baseline and Month 3 were calculated and compared by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), adjusted for baseline value, to the Reference group.

    WOMAC® Total Score Over Time
    The Western Ontario McMaster universities (WOMAC®) VA3.1 Total Score was used: the individual changes in WOMAC VA3.1 Total Score between Baseline and 2 weeks were calculated and compared by Mixed-Effect Model for Repeated Measurements, adjusted for baseline value, to the Reference group. Results are expressed as "adjusted mean" based on the model used for group comparison. WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index is a tri-dimensional, self-administered, patient-centred health status questionnaire for knee disease severity and osteonecrosis symptoms. The Total score (VAS format) was determined by measuring in millimetres from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks (0-100 mm) for the pain (5 questions), stiffness (2 questions), and physical function (17 questions). Results are normalized on a 0-100 mm scale format. A higher score represents a higher degree of k

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease affecting millions of people around the world, for which there is unfortunately no cure. Among existing therapies, viscosupplementation, i.e., the injection of hyaluronic acid into the joint, has an established place in the symptomatic treatment of knee OA. The present Phase IIb/III aiming to assess the safety and efficacy of JTA-004 is organized in two phases. With results obtained in the first phase the best dose of JTA-004 is determined, and the efficacy of the selected dose will then be confirmed in the second phase.
