A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of MEDI7352 in Subjects With Painful Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Painful Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Interventions
Biological: MEDI7352
Biological: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04675034
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2b randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response study in subjects with painful osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The study will assess the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of MEDI7352 compared to placebo, as well as the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of MEDI7352 in subjects with moderate to severe chronic pain persistent for 3 months or more not adequately controlled by standard of care treatments.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Participants must understand the nature of the study and must give signed and dated written informed consent prior to the initiation of any study procedures, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
  2. For participants participating in the optional genetic research, a separate signed and dated optional genetic research ICF must be provided prior to collection of samples for optional genetic research that supports the Genomics Initiative. If a participant declines to participate in the genetic research, this will have no influence on the ability of a participant to participate in the study.
  3. The participant should be willing and able to understand and comply with all protocol-specified restrictions and procedures and be able to use an electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) device as judged by the investigator.
  4. The participant must be considered likely to comply with the study protocol and to have a high probability of completing the study, as judged by the investigator.
  5. The participant must be willing and able to discontinue all analgesic therapy with NSAID or COX-2 inhibitors from the start of the washout period until the end of the FU period. This includes over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications and topical analgesics that contain an NSAID or COX-2 inhibitor.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Requires current treatment with another biologic therapeutic agent, DMARD, or other Immunosuppressants.
  2. Previously received any form of anti-NGF; received anti-TNFs including but not limited to golimumab, certolizumab, infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, or rituximab within 12 months prior to screening, or other biological DMARDs (including but not limited to abatacept, tocilizumab, and tofacitinib), or other immunosuppressants within 6 months prior to screening (with the exception of inhaled or topical corticosteroids).
  3. Currently receiving strong opioids for any indication
  4. Participation in another clinical study with an IP or device within 60 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening
  5. Plasma donation within 28 days of screening or any blood donation or blood loss > 500 mL within 2 months of screening.
  6. Previous allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
  7. Received nonleukocyte-depleted whole blood transfusion within 120 days of the genetic research sample collection, if participating in the optional genetic research.
  8. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Numerical Rating Scale pain scores12 weeks

Change in the weekly average of daily NRS pain scores from baseline to Week 12. Average daily pain scores in the target joint will be recorded from a scale of 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "most severe pain imaginable over the previous 24 hours.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ADA titre12 weeks

Serum concentration of ADA titre

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale from12 Weeks

Change in the WOMAC pain subscale from baseline to Week 12.

The WOMAC pain subscale consists of 5 questions assessing the participant's pain due to OA in the target knee. Each question is scored on an NRS scale from 0 to 10, and the WOMAC pain subscale score is calculated as the mean score from all 5 questions, where higher scores represent higher pain

Physician Global Assesment (PGA of OA)12 Weeks

Change in the PGA of OA from baseline to Week 12.

The PGA of OA is a 5-point scale used to assess symptoms and activity impairment due to OA of the knee. Participants are asked to identify a number from 1 = very good (asymptomatic and no limitation to normal activities) to 5 = very poor (very severe symptoms which are intolerable and inability to carry out all normal activities).

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) physical function12 Weeks

Change in the WOMAC physical function subscale from baseline to Week 12

The WOMAC physical function subscale consists of 17 questions assessing the participant's difficulty in performing activities of daily living due to OA in the target knee. Each question is scored on an NRS scale from 0 to 10, and the WOMAC pain subscale score is calculated as the mean score from all 17 questions, where higher scores represent worse function
