Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of lacosamide (LCM) 400mg/day in treating the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

LCM is an investigational drug that is being studied as a treatment in male and female patients who are diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee and require therapeutic doses of NSAIDs, COX-2 NSAIDs and/or paracetamol. This trial will be conducted exclusively in Europe.

The study has an adaptive 3-stage group sequential design.

The trial will last a total of 17 weeks. There will be a 2 week period to wean off current medication, followed by a 4 week period where the patient will receive placebo (inactive drug) or gradually increasing doses of LCM up to the target dose of 400mg/day. The target dose or placebo will be maintained for 8 weeks followed by a 1 week reduction period then a 2 week safety follow up period.

The last subject is expected to be enrolled in December 2007.

The study was terminated based on the outcome of the planned first interim analysis, which was performed as defined in the protocol in a subset of patients. It was decided not to continue the trial. No safety concerns were identified.
