Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 50 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Willingness and ability to comply with the study procedures and visit schedules and ability to follow verbal and written instructions

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Average Change From Baseline in the Weekly Mean of the Average Daily (24-hour) Pain Intensity Scores Over Weeks 5 to 10
The pain intensity score is measured using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "pain as bad as you can imagine."

Secondary Outcome Measures

Weekly Mean of the Average Daily (24-hr) Pain Intensity Scores, Change From Baseline to Each Week and Average Change From Baseline Over Weeks 1 to 12 and Weeks 4 to 12
The pain intensity score is measured using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "pain as bad as you can imagine."
Proportion of Patients Experiencing a >20% Decrease in Pain From Baseline in Weekly Mean of the Average Daily (24-hr) Pain Intensity Scores at Each Week
Proportion of Patients Experiencing a >50% or >30% Decrease in Pain From Baseline in Weekly Mean of Average Daily 24-hr Pain Intensity Scores at Each Week

Percent of Responders (Defined as Patients With High Improvement in Pain or Function) According to OMERACT-OARSI Criteria at Weeks 4, 8 and 12
Time to Onset of Pain Relief
Time to onset of pain relief in days is defined as the time from first dose to the first daily pain assessment showing >30% improvement from the weekly mean of the average daily (24-hr) pain intensity scores at Baseline
Average Weekly and Total Consumption of Rescue Medication

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study was a double-blind, randomized, parallel group, proof of concept study comparing FX006 to Kenalog®-40 (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP) in patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee.
Detailed Description
This study was a double-blind, randomized, parallel group, proof of concept study patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) of the knee. Approximately 124 eligible patients were intended to be randomized to one of the two treatment groups (1:1) and treated with a single intra-articular (IA) injection of: 32 mg of FX006 40 mg of Kenalog®-40 (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP) Each prospective patient underwent a screening evaluation to confirm a diagnosis of PTOA of the knee and concurrence with all other eligibility criteria. Patients were be treated on Day 1 (Baseline) and returned to the clinic at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 for evaluation of safety and efficacy.
