- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT03172780
- Lead Sponsor
- Mylan Pharmaceuticals Private Limited
- Brief Summary
This randomized, double-blind, three-arm, placebo controlled, bioequivalence study with clinical endpoint has been designed to establish clinical equivalence and safety of Mylan's diclofenac gel in the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis of knee compared to Voltaren® gel and to establish superiority in efficacy of both compared to a placebo (vehicle) gel.
Male or non-pregnant female aged ≥ 35 years with a clinical diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the knee according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria
Total study duration for the clinical part will be around 56 days that includes screening period of 28 days and treatment period of 4 weeks.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Subscale Score 4 weeks Mean change in the total WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) pain subscale score for the target knee was compared to determine the superiority of the Test Drug and Reference Listed Drug (RLD) over placebo.
Measure Description: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC pain subscale score (pain score = min 0 to max 20), was determined by the sum of subject's responses to five questions (S1-S5) using a 5-point Likert scale (i.e., 'none'=0; 'mild'=1, 'moderate'=2; 'severe'=3; 'extreme'=4). Higher values represent worse outcome.
'How much pain do you have' when 'Walking on a flat surface' (S1), 'Going up or down stairs' (S2), 'at night while in bed' (S3), 'Sitting or lying' (S4), 'Standing upright' (S5)\].
The timepoints considered for the primary outcomes include baseline and week 4.Mean Change in the Total WOMAC Pain Subscale Score From baseline to week 4 Mean change in the total WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) pain subscale score for the target knee was compared to determine the clinical equivalence of Test Drug (Diclofenac sodium gel of 1% of Mylan Inc.) with the Reference Listed Drug (RLD) (Voltaren® Gel 1% of Novartis Consumer Health, Inc.)
