Overview
Brief Summary
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Dosing of TG-C in Adult Subjects with Symptomatic Early Hip Osteoarthritis. TG-C will be administered to the target hip by a single ultrasound (or fluoroscopy)-guided, intra-articular injection with image capture showing correct injection of study drug into the femoroacetabular joint. Patients will be followed for 12 months for safety and efficacy.
Detailed Description
This protocol is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of TG-C in treating symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip and determining disease modifying effects of TG-C. TG-C will be compared to normal saline as a control. Safety will be evaluated by observation of the injection site for irritation or other effects, the incidence and severity of adverse events, and changes in physical examination findings, radiographic criteria, and laboratory tests. Patients will be followed for 12 months for both safety and efficacy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Hip Pain as Assessed by VAS
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 12
Assessment of change from baseline in target hip pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a method for the assessment of the intensity of pain. The VAS is a horizontal line, 100 mm in length and anchored by word descriptors at each end (no pain, very severe pain). The patient marks on the line at the point that represents their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end to the point of the mark. The score ranges from "0" or no pain to "100" very severe pain.
