简要总结
This isprospective,randomized,double-blind,vehicle-controlled.parellel group,bioequivalence clinical trial to compare clinical efficacy, safety and tolerabilityof generic Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1%,with Voltaren® Gel (aDiclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1%) and Vehicle of Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel1% in approximately 23 centers. A minimum 990 subjects (330 in each treatment group) with osteoarthritis (OA) of theknee.
Primary efficacy endpoint of the study is:
· Mean change in theWestern Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) painscore in target knee from baseline to week 4
The secondary efficacy endpoints of the study are:
· Mean change in painon movement (POM) on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for target knee from baselineto week 4
· Mean change in patient globalassessment (PGA) score from baseline to week 4
TheSafety endpoints of the study are:
- Proportion of subjects with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events
- Change in physical examination, vital signs, andclinical laboratory tests (hematology and biochemistry parameters) frombaseline to week 4
