Chondromodulating Effect of Diacerein in Osteoarthritis of the Hip

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hip Osteoarthritis
Registration Number
NCT00451360
Lead Sponsor
Laboratoires NEGMA
Brief Summary

We carried out a 3 years, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in patients with hip osteoarthritis in order to:

* evaluate the ability of diacerein, an interleukin-1β inhibitor, to slow the progressive decrease in joint space width observed in patients with hip osteoarthritis

* to investigate the potential structure-modifying effect of diacerein in patients with hip osteoarthritis

This study compare also after ten years the percentage of patients in each treatment group who require a hip replacement surgery
