Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Topically Applied TV-45070 (Ointment) in Participants With Primary Osteoarthritis (OA) Affecting a Single Knee (NCT NCT02068599)

NCT ID: NCT02068599

Last Updated: 2021-11-09

Results Overview

The Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Arthritis Index \[WOMAC\] is a widely used, validated, patient-reported questionnaire used to assess pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with OA of the knee. It consists of 24 items separated into 3 domains (pain \[5 items\], stiffness \[2 items\], and physical function \[17 items\]). WOMAC Question 1 is the first question in the pain domain and asks patients to rate their pain in the target knee while walking on a flat surface. The possible score for each item ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 mm (worst pain). Participants record their response to WOMAC Question 1 in the study diary based on average pain upon walking since the last assessment or over the past 12 hours. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in pain. MMRM includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as fixed factors; baseline average evening WOMAC Question 1 score as a covariate; and patient as a random factor.

Participant Flow

978 patients with primary OA of the knee were screened for enrollment into this study. 389 patients at 41 centers in the US met entry criteria. Of the 589 patients not enrolled, 551 were excluded on the basis of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 25 patients withdrew consent, and 8 patients were lost to follow-up before the baseline visit.

After stratification by R1150W polymorphism status: - homozygous minor allele (positive, AA), - heterozygous (positive, AG), and - homozygous common allele (negative, GG), participants were randomly assigned by interactive response technology (IRT) to receive treatment in 1 of 3 treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (day -5 to day -1), Last 5 days of treatment (day 24 to day 28)

Population: Full analysis set. Both baseline and treatment values must be available for a participant to be included. For pain subscale, if more than 1 item is missing, the subscale total will not be calculated; otherwise the missing value will be replaced by average of the non-missing values in the subscale.

The five items in the WOMAC Pain Subscale cover pain during walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying, and standing. Daily WOMAC pain subscale score is calculated as the sum of the 5-item pain subscale scores (WOMAC) recorded at evening for a total range of 0 (no pain) to 500 (worst pain on all 5 items). Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in pain. MMRM includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as fixed factors; baseline average evening WOMAC scores for the 5-item pain subscale as a covariate; and patient as a random factor.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (day 1, predose), Treatment: Week 4 (day 29)

Population: Full analysis set. Both baseline and treatment values must be available for a participant to be included. For physical function subscale, if more than 3 items are missing the subscale total will not be calculated; otherwise the missing value will be replaced by the average of the non-missing values in the subscale.

The seventeen items in the WOMAC physical function subscale cover stair use, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in / out of a car, shopping, putting on / taking off socks, rising from bed, lying in bed, getting in / out of bath, sitting, getting on / off toilet, heavy household duties, light household duties. WOMAC physical function subscale score is calculated as the sum of the 17-item physical function subscale scores (WOMAC) for a total range of 0 (no pain) to 1700 (worst pain on all 17 items). Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in pain. MMRM includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as fixed factors; baseline physical function WOMAC scores for the 17-item subscale as a covariate; and patient as a random factor.

WOMAC Question 1 is the first question in the pain domain and asks patients to rate their pain in the target knee while walking on a flat surface. The possible score for each item ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 mm (worst pain). Average pain is calculated using a MMRM which includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as fixed factors; baseline average evening WOMAC Question 1 score as a covariate; and patient as a random factor. Responder rate was calculated as 100 \* the value of (average WOMAC pain subscale during the last 5 days of treatment \[Days 24 to 28\]) - average WOMAC pain subscale at baseline \[the 5 days prior to randomization\])/average WOMAC pain subscale at baseline (the 5 days prior to randomization). Participants with missing responder rates were treated as nonresponders.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (day 1, predose), Treatment: Week 4 (day 29)

Population: Full analysis set. If any of the 19 questions is missing, the PQAS-R total score will not be calculated for a given visit. If the entire questionnaire is not done at a scheduled time point, it will be considered missing and will not be imputed.

PQAS-R is a standardized self-report tool that measures various aspects of a participant's pain. There are 19 questions (question 19 has 2 parts) that ask the participant to rate the various aspects (intensity, sharpness, heat, cold, etc.) of his/her pain over the past week on average on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = not \[aspect\] and 10 = the most or worst imaginable \[aspect\]). PQAS-R score at each visit is the sum of responses for the 19 questions for a total range of 0=no pain to 200=worst imaginable pain in all aspects. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in stiffness. MMRM includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as fixed factors; baseline PQAS-R score for the 19 questions (20 parts) as a covariate; and patient as a random factor.

PGA is a simple self-report tool for measuring the overall way arthritis is affecting the patient at a particular point in time. There is 1 question and the response is provided on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 (very poor) to 100 (very good). The question is: Considering all the ways your arthritis affect you, how are you feeling today? Positive change from baseline scores indicate improvement. The MMRM model includes week, treatment, study center, and treatment by week interaction as the fixed factors; baseline PGA score as a covariate and unconstructed variance-covariance structure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: day 1 up to day 57

Population: Safety analysis population. The safety population includes all randomized participants who receive at least one dose of study medication. In this population, treatment was assigned based upon the treatment participants actually receive regardless of the treatment to which they were randomized.

An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.
