Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Intra-articular Ampion for Osteoarthritis Pain in Knee (NCT NCT02024529)

NCT ID: NCT02024529

Last Updated: 2022-08-09

Results Overview

Mean Change in WOMAC A Pain (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) score from Baseline to 12 weeks. 5-point Likert scale (0=none to 4=extreme). A negative difference constitutes a decrease in pain with a greater negative value indicating a greater reduction in pain.

Recruitment status
