Moderate to severe pain of the signal knee as defined by a score of =40mm on a Visual analogue scale (VAS) (0-100mm) using the question On average, how would you rate your knee pain during the last 3 months?”
  • 4. Knee pain is the predominant pain condition
  • 5. Patient able to identify a ‘signal’ painful knee (either the most painful knee or selected from equally painful knees)
  • 6. A radiograph (X-Ray) of the signal knee within the last 2 years, with changes consistent with tibio-femoral OA
  • 7. No change in the average weekly dose of oral/topical analgesics (including NSAIDs and Paracetamol) for at least 4 weeks

All male and female participants biologically capable of having children must agree to use a reliable method of contraception for the duration of the study and 24 weeks after the end of the study period. Acceptable methods of contraception are surgical sterilisation, oral, implantable or injectable hormonal methods, intrauterine devices or barrier contraceptives. If female and have potential for child bearing then a negative pregnancy test must be performed prior to starting treatment
  • 10. The patient must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

  • 12. All patients must have had a chest radiograph (X-Ray) within the last 6 months
  • 13. Aged = 18 years
  • Previous inclusion criteria:
  • 1. Fulfil clinical ACR Criteria for knee OA.
  • 2. Knee pain on most days in the last 3 months.
  • 3. Insufficient pain relief from, inability to tolerate, or contra-indication to oral and/or topical NSAIDs and/or opioids. Moderate to severe pain of the signal knee as defined by a score of =40mm on a VAS (0-100mm) using the question ?On average, how would you rate your knee pain during the last 3 months??.
  • 4. Knee pain is the predominant pain condition.
  • 5. Patient able to identify a ?signal? painful knee (either the most painful knee or selected from equally painful knees).
  • 6. A previous radiograph (X-Ray) of the signal knee with changes consistent with tibiofemoral OA.
  • 7. No change in the average weekly dose of oral/topical analgesics (including NSAIDs) for at least 4 weeks.
  • 8. Has used chondroitin or glucosamine for at least 3 months with no change to the average weekly dose, is not using or is willing to stop using if recently started.
  • 9. Men and women must use adequate birth control measures (e.g. abstinence, oral contraceptives, Intra-uterine device, barrier method with spermicide, or surgical sterilisation) for the duration of the study and should continue such precautions for 6 months after receiving the last dose of MTX. If female and have potential for child bearing then a negative pregnancy test must be performed prior to starting treatment.
