Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03978208
Lead Sponsor
Antibe Therapeutics Inc.
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 14-day dosing regimen of ATB-346 at doses of 150 mg, 200 mg and 250 mg compared to placebo in reducing osteoarthritis knee pain as measured by changes in the post-treatment WOMAC subscale pain score relative to each patient's pretreatment baseline WOMAC assessment.Safety will be assessed via measurements of vital signs and clinical laboratory tests at baseline and at various time points during the study, patient monitoring, and by the documentation of adverse events.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 14-day dosing regimen of once daily administration of ATB-346 at doses of 150 mg, 200 mg and 250 mg compared to placebo in reducing osteoarthritis knee pain as measured by changes in the post-treatment WOMAC subscale pain score relative to each patient's pretreatment baseline WOMAC assessment.A total of 360 evaluable patients are planned in this study: 250 mg (n=120); 200 mg (n=120); 150 mg (n=60); placebo (n=60).

Safety will be assessed via measurements of vital signs and clinical laboratory tests at baseline and at various time points during the study, patient monitoring, and by the documentation of adverse events.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
5-item pain intensity measurePrevious 48 hours

Self reported pain intensity over the past 48 hours. Each item is scored 0-10 (0 = no pain; 10 = pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 50

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
2-item stiffness intensity measurePrevious 48 hours

Self reported pain intensity over the past 48 hours. Each item is scored 0-10 (0 = no pain; 10 = pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 20

17-item difficulty performing daily activities measurePrevious 48 hours

Self reported pain intensity over the past 48 hours. Each item is scored 0-10 (0 = no pain; 10 = pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 170

Measurement of whole blood cyclo-oxygenase activityAfter 1, 4 and 14 days of treatment dosing.

Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) blood levels (pg/mL) will be measured after 1, 4 and 14 days of treatment. samples taken on days 1, 4 and 14. Decreases (measured in pg/mL) in the blood levels of thromboxane B2 are a direct measure of the effect of treatment on cyclo-oxygenase activity and the reduced production of this inflammatory mediator, i.e., thromboxane B2.

Number of patients with genetic variations in the drug modifying enzyme CYP2C9 that may alter the metabolism of ATB-346 will be investigated.Samples will be retained through study completion and analyzed within 1 year of study initiation.

CYP2C9 isoforms will be measured in one blood sample taken prior to study drug dosing.

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse eventsPre-study and days 4, 14 and 24.

The safety of ATB-346 will be monitored via on study and two week post study physician and clinical laboratory assessments.
