Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Intra-Articular (IA) verapamil in the treatment of joint pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Subjects will discontinue all analgesic medications for the entire duration of the study, except for acetaminophen (taken on an as needed basis at no more than 2 g/day). At visit 2, subjects who meet all entry criteria will be randomized to receive a single injection of IA verapamil or IA placebo at a ratio of 1:1. Treatments will be given with fluoroscopy or ultrasound to confirm needle placement. Subjects will be monitored for blood pressure and heart rate (sitting and standing) for at least 1 hour post-injection. Subjects will be evaluated at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both short and long term clinical performance and safety of the commercially available U2 Knee™ System.

This Open Label Extension (OLE) study will assess the safety of long-term treatment with a 4 mL intra-articular injection of Ampion™ in adults with pain due to severe osteoarthritis of the knee

This study was designed to demonstrate the safety and performance of the JOURNEY II XR total knee system by evaluating implant survival rates at 10 years using Kaplan-Meier analysis. All participants will be implanted with the JOURNEY II XR total knee system.

Earlier research has shown that exercising while receiving manual therapy improves function and reduces pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. However, very little is known about the mechanisms by which manual therapy and exercise reduce pain and improve function. This study will ask subjects with knee osteoarthritis to receive one of the following interventions: (1) no treatment, (2) exercise only, or (3) manual therapy only. Measures will be taken of the patient's knee range of motion, knee swelling and pain before and after receiving the intervention. These measures will be analyzed to determine what effect exercise and manual therapy applied to the knee have on improving knee range of motion and reducing knee pain and swelling. Swelling will be measured using an ultrasound device which is used to take pictures inside the knee. This type of ultrasound measurement is painless and harmless.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term analgesic efficacy and safety of tanezumab for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip currently experiencing partial benefit from, and are tolerating, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy.

PF-04191834 works in animal models by inhibiting one of the enzymes, 5-lipoxygenasein which is involved in the pathway that causes inflammation and pain. The purpose of this study is to test how effective, safe and tolerated PF-04191834 is in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee by itself or with naproxen, particularly to test if patients have less pain.

The purpose of this phase III study is to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Salmon Calcitonin in the Treatment of Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Objectives: Primary:To assess the efficacy and safety of PLA-695 in subjects with active osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Secondary:To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PLA-695 among dose levels. To assess health outcome measures. To assess the effect of PLA-695 on biomarkers related to clinical responses. To assess PLA-695 exposure-response relationship on PD, efficacy, and safety measures. To assess pharmacogenomics (PGX) analysis in OA.

This post-market clinical follow-up study was designed to compile long-term knee replacement outcomes of the PFC Sigma fixed and PFC Sigma mobile Rotating Platform (RP) knee systems. The first patient had surgery on November 8, 2001 and the final patient had surgery on July 29, 2005. There were 120 knees consented by a single site, which was the planned sample size in the study protocol, with 117 receiving one of the study devices. The study was terminated as the primary outcome was met and the investigator decided to conduct the study without sponsor support after 2009.
