简要总结

Post-menopausal women aged 40-65 with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis are invited to take part in this feasibility study. The study's aim is to investigate whether it is acceptable to women with painful hand OA to take an estrogen-containing therapy, and what is the best way of collecting some of the information in order to facilitate planning a full size trial. The investigator's long-term aim is to find out whether giving estrogen-containing therapy to women after the menopause improves hand OA symptoms.

  • Hard tissue enlargement of 2 or more of the DIPJs
  • Less than 3 swollen metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPJ)
  • Deformity of at least one of the joints listed in first point
  • OR, for those with base of thumb osteoarthritis only not fulfilling these criteria, has clinical symptoms and examination findings consistent with base of thumb osteoarthritis.
  • Hand pain has not responded adequately to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence core guidance for management of OA, including the use of paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) gel, except where there is contraindication or intolerance
  • Average hand pain is reported as typically more than 4 out of 10 in severity, or average hand pain in the last 7 days of 4/10 or more on a visual analogue scale

  • Pregnancy or breast feeding, or risk of this during study
  • Use of one or more prohibited treatments within specified timeframe, or not willing to avoid treatment for the duration of the study:
  • Oral contraceptive pill, or systemic HRT within the last 6 months (Use of an intrauterine contraceptive device with progesterone local therapy (Mirena) or vaginal topical estrogen use (known low systemic absorption) are not exclusions to participation)
  • Anti-estrogen medication within the last 6 months
  • Oral, intramuscular or intraarticular steroid within the last 3 months
  • Intraarticular hyaluronan to a hand joint within the last 6 months
  • Initiation of new oral analgesia within the last 4 weeks
  • Initiation of glucosamine, chondroitin, hand exercises or other relevant non- pharmacological therapy within the last 6 weeks
  • Hand surgery within the last 6 months, or planned within the next 6 months
  • Medications likely to increase hepatic metabolism of study medication, including:
  • St. John's Wort
  • Anti-convulsants (phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, lamotrigine)
  • Some anti-infectives (rifampicin, rifabutin, nevirapine, efavirenz, ritonavir and nelfinavir)
  • Presence of one or more medical contraindications to the use of systemic hormonal replacement therapy:
  • In those aged 40-45 years, FSH <30 mIU/ml on screening blood test, i.e. non- confirmatory of menopausal status
  • Any history of breast, endometrial, ovarian or skin cancer
  • Any other history of other cancer within 5 years (except treated Basal Cell Carcinoma, BCC)
  • Relevant breast issue on routine national breast screening in prior 3 years
  • Undiagnosed genital bleeding, or untreated endometrial hyperplasia, active uterine fibroids or endometriosis
  • Active or past history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (including deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and retinal vein thrombosis), or at high risk of VTE (such as known thrombophilic disorders (such as Protein C, S or anti-thrombin deficiency) or presence of a strong family history of VTE). Women with a first degree relative with a history of VTE, or other strong family history of VTE at the Investigators' discretion.

  • Clinically significant immobility
  • Migraine or active epilepsy
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg or systolic pressure greater than 145 mmHg at screening visit)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled hypertriglyceridaemia
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30
  • Active malabsorption syndrome or clinically significant small bowel disease

结局指标

主要结局

Feasibility: Rates of eligible participant identification, rates of recruitment/randomisation from different sources, retention rates

时间窗: From the date of recruitment opening until the date of recruitment closing, 1 year

Feasibility: Frequency of adverse events related to the active study medication

时间窗: Through study completion, 7 months

Feasibility: Bang's Blinding Index (likelihood of unblinding)

时间窗: Week 24

Self-complete questionnaire which assesses likelihood that participant or Investigator have become unblinded

Feasibility: Monitoring study medication compliance (via diaries)

时间窗: From randomisation to end of treatment at Week 24

Participants will be asked to record any missed doses of study medication on a paper diary which will be provided at each visit. We will ask participants to bring the diary to each study visit and any missed doses will be recorded in the Case Report Form.
