PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: The modified ITT (mITT) population excludes subjects in the ITT population who were incorrectly instructed by the investigator to treat only one knee. The mITT population is primary for the analysis of efficacy.

POM will be assessed by subject on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 with higher score indicating higher levels of pain.
