Osteoarthritis

A Phase 3, 28-week, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (OA-10) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single injection of lorecivivint in the target knee joint of moderately to severely symptomatic osteoarthritis patients

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

LOR was well tolerated despite not meeting the primary endpoint. Efficacy signals were identified in patients with less severe structural knee OA disease

Study context

Population
Patients with ACR-defined knee osteoarthritis (OA), Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades 2–3, and pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ≥4 and ≤8 in the target knee51.9% KL Grade 3
Participants
498 patients
Comparison
Single intra-articular (IA) injection of lorecivivint 0.07 mg vs vehicle placebo
Primary endpoint
Change from baseline in Pain NRS, LOR vs PBO
Follow-up
Week 12
