About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Knee Osteoarthritis focused on measuring Hyaluronic acid

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female higher than 18 and less or equal to 65 years of age
  2. an active life-style, professional or regular casual sport player (people who plays sport or trains themselves at least 2-3 times per week).
  3. diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis will be based upon a standing weight bearing knee X-ray at Screening or an X-ray performed within 6 months prior to screening. The radiograms must be classified as a Kellgren and Lawrence Grade I-III for osteoarthritis of the knee.

Hymovis ONE Arm

Arm Description

Hymovis® ONE (32 mg/4 ml) intra-articular mono injection. Patients will be followed during 12 months including 6 visits.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The efficacy of Hymovis® ONE (32 mg/4 ml) single intra-articular injection, in the management of pain caused by knee osteoarthritis due to overuse: KOOS questionnaire (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score)
To demonstrate that a single intra-articular (i.a.) injection of Hymovis® ONE (32 mg/4 ml) decreases the difficulties in sport and recreational activity. The efficacy will be measured evaluating the improved knee function during sport and recreational activity through the fourth item (SP1-SP5) of the KOOS questionnaire, 90 days after injection. A five-point Likert scale(LK3 series) will be used to score each of the five KOOS questionnaire items (Symptoms, Pain, Function daily living, Function in sports and recreational activities).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Knee function through WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) C scale.
To assess knee function through WOMAC C (twelve questions of WOMAC specifically evaluating joint function) scale within 48 hours before the visits. It will be measured the joint function after Hymovis® ONE injection through afive point Likert scale(LK3 series)

Knee pain through Visual Analogical Scale (VAS, 100 mm, where "No pain = 0" while "Worst Pain Imaginable = 100")
Knee pain through Visual Analogical Scale (VAS, 0-100 mm) within 48 hours before the visits. It will be measured the knee pain relief after Hymovis® ONE injection.
The requirement for daily rescue analgesic medication (simple analgesics, acetaminophen) for pain relief. The "rescue dose" will be acetaminophen 3 g per day.
The requirement for daily rescue analgesic medication (simple analgesics, acetaminophen) for pain relief. The "rescue dose" will be acetaminophen 3g per day. During the visits patients have to declare the quantity of rescue drug taken and have to deliver at the end of the study the drug left-over
Knee pain, function, stiffness and quality of life through KOOS ((Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) questionnaire.
Knee pain and function and quality of life through five items of the KOOS questionnaire. A Likert scale will be used to score each of the five KOOS questionnaire items (Symptoms, Pain, Function daily living, Function in sports and recreational activities). An aggregate score will not be calculated since it is regarded desirable to analyze and interpret the five dimensions separately

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hymovis® ONE (32 mg/4 ml) single intra-articular injection, in the management of pain caused by knee osteochondral lesions.
Detailed Description
There are no studies in literature up to now, that analyze the changes in knee pain and correlate this parameter with knee function and biomechanics, in regular casual sport player subject affected by knee overuse syndrome and underwent an intra-articular HA injection. The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Hymovis® ONE (32 mg/4 ml) single intra-articular injection, in the management of pain caused by knee osteochondral lesions.
