A Trial of SB-061 in Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Other: Placebo
Device: SB-061
Registration Number
NCT02802709
Lead Sponsor
Symic OA Co.
Brief Summary

This study evaluates a novel agent, SB-061, for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. Half of the patients will receive the agent via intra-articular injection and half will receive a placebo injection.

Detailed Description

The treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis may include periodic intra-articular injections of corticosteroids or viscosupplements such as hyaluronic acid. SB-061 is anticipated to relieve osteoarthritis pain by reinforcing the cartilage matrix and providing a lubricating coating of the cartilage. Subjects will receive 2 intra-articular injections of either SB-061 or placebo and be followed for 3 months to evaluate pain amelioration. Subjects and Investigators are blinded to treatment allocation.
