简要总结

This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of multiple doses and multiple administrations of LEVI-04 for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.

详细描述

The study consists of a Screening Period (including a Diary Run- In/analgesic wash-out Period), Randomization, Post-Randomization Period, and a Follow-up Period. Up to 624 participants will be enrolled and randomized to one of four Treatment Arms at the ratio 1:1:1:1

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LEVI-04 compared to placebo in patients with knee OA.

  • Opioid use, including Tramadol, of 4 or more instances per week over the month prior to Screening.
  • Known history of hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies.
  • Presence of any medical condition or unstable health status that, in the judgment of the investigator, might adversely impact the safety of the participant.
  • Signs and symptoms of significant cardiac disease, including but not limited to established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease and /or cerebrovascular disease (unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular thrombotic events, transient ischemic attacks, and stroke in the six months prior to screening)
  • Active malignancy or history of malignancy within the past 5 years, with exception of resected and cured basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory parameter(s) and/or ECG parameter(s) during Screening, that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude the participant from participation in this study.
  • Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 30 days (or 90 days for biologics) prior to screening.
  • History of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with symptoms within one year of Screening or a Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (Symptom Severity Scale) mean score ≥
  • A total Symptom Impact score on the Survey of Autonomic Symptoms ≥
  • Pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Previously received any form of anti-NGF
  • Requires walker or wheelchair for mobility (walking stick permitted).
  • Active or historic substance abuse within one year of Screening in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Medical history within 5 years of Screening that involves suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, or increased risk of suicide as assessed by the Investigator.

结局指标

主要结局

Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain

时间窗: Week 17 Change from Baseline

The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale score, measured on a 0-10 point scale (0=no pain; 10=worse pain; the result reported is mean change from baseline, therefore the greater the reduction in units the better the outcome)

次要结局

  • Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in Post-Staircase Evoked Pain Procedure (StEPP) Pain Intensity(Week 17 Change from Baseline)
  • Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in WOMAC Physical Function(Week 17 Change from Baseline)
  • Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in WOMAC Joint Stiffness Subscale(Week 17 Change from Baseline)
  • Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline in Patient Global Assessment(Week 17 Change from Baseline)
