Group Intervention Description Placebo Placebo Participants will receive a intra-articular injection of placebo matching RTX-GRT7039 during the 52-week double-blind treatment period. RTX-GRT7039 RTX-GRT7039 Participants will receive a intra-articular injection of RTX-GRT7039 during the 52-week double-blind treatment period.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 12 The WOMAC pain subscale will be assessed using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline in WOMAC Pain Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC pain subscale will be assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
Change from Baseline in WOMAC Physical Function Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC physical function subscale will be assessed using 11-point NRS, where 0= no difficulty and 10=extreme difficulty.
Change from Baseline in WOMAC Total Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC total score will be calculated as the sum of pain subscale score, stiffness subscale score and physical function subscale score. It will be calculated by averaging all of the scores available for the questions and assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0=better outcome and 10=worst outcome.
Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5 Dimension Health Questionnaire 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Score From Baseline up to Week 52 EQ-5D consists of EQ-5D descriptive system (Index score) and EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D-5L Index Score ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 representing death and 1.0 representing perfect health. EQ-5D-5L-VAS records participant's self-rated health on a vertical VAS that range from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable).
Change from Baseline in WOMAC A1 (Walking Pain) Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC A1 subscale will be assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
Percentage of Participants With Outcome Measures in Rheumatology - Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) Response From Baseline up to Week 52 OMERACT-OARSI response: A high improvement of \>=50% (percentage change) and \>=2 (absolute change) in either the WOMAC pain subscale score or WOMAC physical function subscale score, OR an improvement in at least 2 of the following 3:
* Improvement of \>=20% (percentage change) and \>=1 (absolute change) in the WOMAC pain subscale score.
* Improvement of \>=20% (percentage change) and \>=1 (absolute change) in the WOMAC physical function subscale score.
* Improvement of \>=20% (percentage change) and \>=10 (absolute change) in Patient Global Assessment (PGA) of osteoarthritis. Absolute values will be normalized to the 0 (no pain) to 100 scale (higher pain/difficulty).Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) From Baseline up to Week 52 Change From Baseline in 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36) Domain Scores From Baseline up to Week 52 The SF-36 domain scores range from 0 (worst value) to 100 (best value), with higher scores reflecting better health status.
Change from Baseline in WOMAC Stiffness Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC stiffness subscale will be assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no stiffness and 10= extreme stiffness.
Percentage of Participants With at Least 30%, 50% and 70% Reduction From Baseline in WOMAC A1 (Walking Pain) Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC A1 subscale will be assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
Number of Participants Reporting Durability of Effect From Baseline up to Week 52 Durability of effect is defined as time from an improvement in WOMAC pain subscale to pain recurrence. Pain recurrence is defined as no reduction of \>=30% from baseline in the WOMAC Pain subscale score (assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable).
Percentage of Participants With at Least 30%, 50% and 70% Reduction From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Subscale Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The WOMAC pain subscale will be assessed using an 11-point NRS, where 0= no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable.
Percentage of Participants Categorized by Each Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score From Baseline up to Week 52 The 7-point PGIC is a complementary assessment of analgesic efficacy on a 7-point scale where 1 = "Very much improved" and 7 = "Very much worse".
