The Safety and Efficacy of Single IA-HA Injection in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Study
- Conditions
- Gonarthrosis
- Registration Number
- NCT04577521
- Lead Sponsor
- Goztepe Training and Research Hospital
- Brief Summary
This prospective study was planned to carried out among the patients with grade II and III (Kellgren Lawrence classification) osteoarthritis of the knee attending outpatients clinic to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of viscosupplementation with intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection.
- Detailed Description
The study was designed as prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label, observational study. The patients with grade II and III (Kellgren Lawrence classification) osteoarthritis of the knee attending outpatients were planned to enroll the study. Patients between the age 18-80 years who did not achieve remission of pain despite receiving the first-line treatment for gonarthrosis including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs medication, activity modification and ice, were planned to included in the study. A single dose of HA will be injected into the target knee joint. Clinical evaluation will be done using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the short form-36 questionnaires (SF-36 v2) at baseline, 3 months and 6 months by a clinical secretariat.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline to 3 Months and 6 Months in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Baseline, 3 Months and 6 Months WOMAC is health status measure questionnaire of twenty-four questions comprising 3 subscales (pain, stiffness and physical function). WOMAC was measured on a scale of 0-100 mm, where lower score represents lower pain and higher score represents higher pain.
Overview of Adverse Events (AE) Through study completion, an average of 6 Months An AE could be any unfavorable and unintended symptom, sign, disease or condition, or test abnormality whether or not considered related to the investigational product. A serious adverse event (SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE): AEs that developed/worsened during the 'on treatment period' (from first dose of study device until the end of study period). Category "AE" included participant with both serious and non-serious AE.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in quality of life measured by SF-36 questionnaire (Short Form Health Survey questionnaire) Baseline,3 Months and 6 Months 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures.each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively. Scores represent the percentage of total possible score achieved. Each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively.
