Study to Evaluate the Effect of FX006 on Synovial Inflammation in Patients With OA of the Knee
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
- Interventions
- Drug: FX006 32 mg
- Registration Number
- NCT03529942
- Lead Sponsor
- Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc
- Brief Summary
This is an open-label study assessing the effect of the administration of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of FX006 32 mg on synovial volume in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
- Detailed Description
This is an open-label study assessing the effect of the administration of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of FX006 32 mg on synovial volume in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The study will be conducted in male and female patients who are ≥ 40 years of age.
Eligible patients who provide written consent and meet all entry criteria will undergo initial ultrasound examination and MRI with contrast of the index knee, and then receive a single IA injection of FX006 administered to the index knee at Baseline/Day 1. Patients will return to the clinic at Weeks 6 and 24 for an MRI with contrast of the index knee and other assessments. Patients must also have a blood sample drawn for Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) testing within 30 days prior to the scheduled MRIs. In addition, a patient questionnaire will be administered and adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medication updates will be collected via telephone at Weeks 12 and 18.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Standardized Change in Synovial Volume (SV) at 6 Weeks Baseline to Week 6 Synovial volume (mm\^3) as measured by MRI and read by a central imaging vendor. Standardization was performed by dividing the model-derived least squares means and corresponding confidence intervals by the adjusted standard deviation (SD). Therefore, the mean standardized change represents the change in synovial volume expressed in standard deviation units.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Standardized Change in Synovial Volume (SV) at 24 Weeks Baseline to Week 24 Synovial volume (mm\^3) as measured by MRI and read by a central imaging vendor. Standardization was performed by dividing the model-derived least squares means and corresponding confidence intervals by the adjusted standard deviation (SD). Therefore, the mean standardized change represents the change in synovial volume expressed in standard deviation units.
Mean Absolute Change in Synovial Volume at 6 Weeks Baseline to Week 6 Mean absolute change from baseline at 6 weeks in synovial volume (mm\^3) as measured by MRI and read by a central imaging vendor. The least squares mean changes are estimated using a mixed effects model for repeated measures with fixed effects for study time point, study site, baseline score and baseline femur bone volume (mm\^3) and a random effect for patient.
Mean Absolute Change in Synovial Volume at 24 Weeks Baseline to Week 24 Mean absolute change (mm\^3) from baseline at 24 weeks in synovial volume (mm\^3) as measured by MRI and read by a central imaging vendor. The least squares mean changes are estimated using a mixed effects model for repeated measures with fixed effects for study time point, study site, baseline score and baseline femur bone volume (mm\^3) and a random effect for patient.
