  • 3. Is a male or female patient aged 40 years or older
  • 4. Is ambulatory (assistive devices are allowed if used 3 months or more prior to Screening) with an active lifestyle and in good general health
  • 5. Has documented diagnosis of OA of the target knee where the disease has existed for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Radiographic evidence of OA of the target knee at screening is considered adequate
  • 6. Currently meets American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Criteria for OA as noted below:
  • o Knee pain for most days of prior month, and
  • o Osteophytes at joint margins (radiograph)
  • o Knee pain for most days of prior month, and
  • o Synovial fluid typical of OA (laboratory), and
  • o Morning stiffness = 30 minutes in duration, and
  • o Crepitus on active joint motion
  • o Knee pain for most days of prior month, and
  • o Age = 40 years, and
  • o Morning stiffness = 30 minutes in duration, and
  • o Crepitus on active joint motion
  • 7. Has continued target knee OA pain despite conservative treatment (e.g., weight reduction, physical therapy, analgesics)
  • 8. Is willing to withhold intake of NSAIDs (including cyclooxygenase-2 [COX-2] inhibitors) and analgesics, for a washout period of up to 21 days (depending on medication).
  • 9. Is willing to discontinue prohibited treatments and medications throughout the study duration
  • 10. Is willing to withhold intake of pain medications for 48 hours prior to all study visits
  • 11. If female, must have a negative serum pregnancy test (at Screening) and use a medically acceptable form of contraception for at least 1 month prior to Screening and continue use for the duration of the study. Otherwise, females must be surgically sterile, or postmenopausal (as documented in medical history) for at least 1 year.
  • 12. Continues to meet all Screening inclusion/exclusion criteria
  • 13. Has completed the pain and OA medication washout period
  • 14. Has pain in the target knee as demonstrated by a score of 2 or 3 on the WOMAC LK 3.1 A1
  • 15. Has a mean score of 1.5 to 3.5 on the WOMAC LK 3.1 A at Baseline (Day 0)
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

排除标准

  • A patient will be excluded from this study if he/she does not meet the specific inclusion criteria, or if he/she is/has:
  • 1. Modified Kellgren-Lawrence Numerical Grading System of grade 0 or grade IV for the target knee confirmed by radiographs performed within 3 months prior to Screening (see definitions below): (0) None: No Features of OA (IV) Severe: Joint space greatly impaired, with sclerosis of subchondral bone
  • 2. Clinically apparent tense effusion of the target knee
  • 3. Significant valgus/varus deformities, ligamentous laxity, or meniscal instability as assessed by the Investigator
  • 4. Acute disease or trauma leading to secondary OA of the target knee within 10 years prior to screening
  • 5. Viscosupplementation in any joint including the target knee within 12 months prior to Screening
  • 6. Had arthroplasty at the target knee at any time or any other previous surgery in the target knee within the 6 months prior to Screening, or planned surgery throughout the duration of the study
  • 7. Receiving physical therapy (at an outpatient/clinic setting) for the target knee that was initiated within 1 month before Screening
  • 8. History of septic arthritis in any joint
  • 9. Concomitant inflammatory disease or other condition that affects the joints (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone disease, psoriasis, gout, chondrocalcinosis and active infection, etc.)
  • 10. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease of the study leg (prior or current)
  • 11. Clinically significant venous or lymphatic stasis present in the study leg
  • 12. Using protocol-prohibited medication/treatments for chronic pain that patient cannot be withdrawn from prior to study treatment at Baseline and throughout the duration of the study
  • 13. Any musculoskeletal condition that would impede measurement of efficacy at the target knee
  • 14. Symptomatic OA of the contralateral knee or of the ipsilateral hip, or symptomatic patello-femoral OA of the target knee, that is not responsive to acetaminophen / paracetamol (APAP) and requires other therapy
  • 15. Systemic, or IA injection of corticosteroids in any joint within 3 months prior to Screening
  • 16. Active infection, or history of an infection within the past 12 months, in the area to be injected
  • 17. Any significant chronic skin disorder that could interfere with evaluation of the injection site
  • 18. Heparin or crystalline warfarin (i.e., Coumadin®) anticoagulant therapy
  • 19. Any known contraindication to acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP
  • 20. Any known contraindication to IA corticosteroids
