简要总结
CRx-102 is a synergistic combination drug candidate containing the cardiovascular drug dipyridamole and a very low dose of the glucocorticoid prednisolone. CRx-102 is believed to work through a novel mechanism of action in which dipyridamole selectively amplifies the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of the glucocorticoid without replicating the dose-dependent adverse effects.
CRx-102 has been associated with clinical benefit in proof of concept studies in subjects with hand OA and RA. This is the first study to explore the efficacy of CRx-102 in knee OA. It is considered a dose-finding study and will also compare the potential benefits of CRx-102 treatment to both prednisolone administered alone and to placebo in this indication.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline to Day 98 Using the WOMAC Pain Question #1
时间窗: Baseline to Day 98
The WOMAC Index is a validated, 24-question self-administered assessment of three dimensions of pain, stiffness, and physical function for subjects with knee or hip OA. The WOMAC pain question #1 asks subjects to "think about the pain you felt in your (study joint) caused by your arthritis during the last 48 hours when walking on a flat surface." This is a visual analog scale (VAS) where the subject indicates pain severity by making a mark through a 100 mm horizontal line with "No Pain" on the left (0 mm) and "Extreme Pain" on the right (100 mm). The distance between the left end of the scale and the subject's mark is measured in millimeters. Lower values represent a better outcome.
