Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: To evaluate the potential immunogenicity of Hyalgan-F (HA-F) a sodium hyaluronate obtained by fermentation and administered by intra-articular (i.a.) route (5 i.a., once a wek for 5 weeks) in a patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the general safety (AEs. variation in haematological & biochemical parameters) and the efficacy (VAS pain relief and amelioration in the WOMAC Index, patient's and Investigator's overall judgement) of HA-F in the long term after 5 i.a. injections.;Primary end point(s): The study will start with the recruitment of the first patient and will finish with the last visit (month 6) performed on the last patient inserted.
