Clinical Details

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group, Proof of Concept Study Comparing FX006 to Kenalog®-40 in Active Military and Medically Retired Patients With Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Average change from Baseline in the weekly mean of the average daily (24-hour) pain intensity scores over Weeks 5 to 10

Secondary outcome:

Pain Intensity Scores - Secondary Outcome Measure

Decrease in Pain (20%) - Secondary Outcome Measure

Decrease in Pain (50%) - Secondary Outcome Measure

WOMAC - Secondary Outcome Measure

KOOS - Secondary Outcome Measure

PGIC & CGIC - Secondary Outcome Measure

Detailed description: This study is a double-blind, randomized, parallel group, proof of concept study in active military and medically retired patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) of the knee. Approximately 124 eligible patients will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups (1: 1) and treated with a single intra-articular (IA) injection of:

- 40 mg of FX006

- 40 mg of Kenalog®-40 (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP)

Each prospective patient will undergo a screening evaluation to confirm a diagnosis of PTOA of the knee and concurrence with all other eligibility criteria. Patients will be treated on Day 1 (Baseline) and will return to the clinic at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 for evaluation of safety and efficacy.

post-traumatic OA of the index knee

- Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) Grade 2 or 3 in the index knee within 6 months prior to or at

Screening

- Clinical signs and symptoms of active knee infection or crystal disease of the index

knee

- Knee pain that is not clinically attributable to OA of the knee (e. g., radicular low

back pain and hip pain that is referred to the knee that could cause misclassification)

- Disease secondary to surgical treatment of Shatzker grade IV, V, or VI tibial plateau

fractures, OTA classification C2 or C3 distal femur fractures, or >2mm of articular incongruity after surgery

- IA corticosteroid (investigational or marketed) in any joint within 3 months of

Screening
