Inclusion Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria for Year 1
1. Male and female patients, at least 18 years of age, at screening
2. A clinical diagnosis of OA of the knee or hip based on the American College of Rheumatology criteria with radiologic evidence of OA (K-L score =2 for the index joint) at the screening visit
3. Moderate to severe pain in the index joint defined at both the screening and randomization visits
4.Willing to discontinue current pain medications and to adhere to study requirements for rescue treatments (acetaminophen/paracetamol to be taken as needed with a maximum daily dose of 2500 mg [countries where 500 mg strength tablets/capsules are available] or 2600 mg [countries where 325 mg strength tablets/capsules are available])
5. A history of at least 12 weeks of analgesics use for pain due to OA of the knee or hip, as defined by

6. Currently using a stable dose of NSAID, defined as using oral NSAIDs at regularly prescribed doses for approximately 4 days per week over the last 4 weeks (patients who are screen failures prior to the randomization visit but who met the NSAID use criterion at screening would still meet this criterion if they are eligible for rescreening)
7. Willing to discontinue glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate treatments during the initial 16 weeks of treatment
8. Stable treatment with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate treatments must be stopped during the pre-randomization period

10. Willing to maintain current activity and exercise levels throughout the study
11. Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures and willing to provide follow-up information related to any JR surgery that occurs within the period of time covered by their intended participation in the study
12. Able to understand and complete study-related questionnaires

Key Inclusion Criteria for Year 2
Note: Any Year 1 patient attending their week 52 visit on or after 26 March 2020 will no longer have the option to enroll into Year 2.
1. Completed the treatment period of Year 1
2. Did not permanently discontinue study drug during Year 1
3. Received no less than 10 of the 13 planned doses of SC study drug during the treatment period of Year 1
4. Provide informed consent for Year 2
5. Willing to continue to maintain current activity and exercise levels throughout Year 2
6. Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures and willing to provide follow-up information related to any JR surgery that occurs within the period of
time covered by their intended participation in the study
