Osteoarthritis

Phase 3, 56-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study utilising patient-reported and radiographic outcomes evaluating the efficacy and safety of a lorecivivint injection in patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis: OA-11 Study

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In this study, LOR was well tolerated although it did not meet the primary endpoint of change from baseline in target knee Pain NRS at Week 12.

Study context

Population
Patients with ACR criteria-defined knee osteoarthritis (OA), Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades 2–3, and medial Joint Space Width (JSW) 1.5–4 mm in the target kneerandomised
Participants
513 patients
Comparison
Single intraarticular (IA) injection of 0.07 mg lorecivivint vs vehicle placebo
Primary endpoint
Change from baseline in pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Follow-up

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Mean change from baseline in weekly average of daily Pain NRS

Lorecivivint (LOR)

−2.24

mean · ± 0.13

Placebo (PBO)

−2.49

mean · ± 0.13

95% CI −0.12 to 0.62; P = 0.185

Further findings

Other endpoints (WOMAC Function, WOMAC Pain, PGA, medial JSW)

No discernable treatment effects of LOR vs PBO

Medial JSW loss · 52 weeks

Neither group showed meaningful medial JSW loss

Safety

AEs: incidence, severity and relationship to study treatment

Similar between LOR and PBO
