Arms & Interventions

botulinum toxin Type A

Experimental

Intervention: botulinum toxin Type A (Biological)

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

A single 2 mL dose of Normal Saline (placebo) injected into the intra-articular space of the study knee on Day 1.

Intervention: Normal Saline (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in the Average Daily Worst Pain Intensity Score at Week 4

Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4

The patient rated their daily worst pain intensity in the study knee using an 11-point scale where: 0=no pain to 10=worst pain possible. The daily scores over the previous 14-day period were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Change From Baseline in the Average Daily Worst Pain Intensity Score at Week 8

Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8

The patient rated their daily worst pain intensity in the study knee using an 11-point scale where: 0=no pain to 10=worst pain possible. The daily scores over the previous 14-day period were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Change From Baseline in the Average Daily Worst Pain Intensity Score at Week 12

Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12

The patient rated their daily worst pain intensity in the study knee using an 11-point scale where: 0=no pain to 10=worst pain possible. The daily scores over the previous 14-day period were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis (WOMAC™) Total Index Score(Baseline, Week 8)
  • Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain Score(Baseline, Week 8)
  • Change From Baseline in WOMAC Physical Function Score(Baseline, Week 8)
  • Patient Global Impression of Change Score(Week 8)
