Brief Summary

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

Viscosupplementation has been widely used for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). There is no well controlled trial comparing one injection regimen of HA for the treatment of knee OA. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of one intraarticular injection of a novel crosslinked HA (HYAJOINT Plus) with Synvisc-One for the treatment of knee OA.

Detailed Description

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

In a prospective, randomized controlled, double-blind trial with 6-month follow up, patients with knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 or 3) were randomized to receive one intraarticular injection of 3 ml HYAJOINT Plus (microbial fermented HA, 20 mg/ml) (N=66) or 6 ml Synvisc-One (avian derived HA, 8 mg/ml) (N=66). The primary outcome was change in the visual analog scale (VAS) pain (0-100mm) over 6 months. Secondary outcomes included The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Lequesne index, Timed Up-and-Go test (TUG), single leg stance test (SLS), use of rescue analgesics and patient satisfaction.

* disabling OA of either hip or foot
* knee instability, clinical apparent joint effusion or marked valgus/varus deformity
* known allergy to avian proteins or HA products
* women ascertained or suspected pregnancy or lactating
* intraarticular injections within the past 6 months
