Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Assess the Safety of Repeat Administration of FX006 Administered to Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee (NCT NCT03046446)

NCT ID: NCT03046446

Last Updated: 2024-01-24

Results Overview

Analyses of adverse events (AE) were performed for events considered treatment-emergent (TE) in patients who received two doses of 32 mg FX006. TE was defined as any AE with onset after administration of the 1st dose of study drug or any event present at baseline but worsened in intensity through the study. Severity was graded by the PI using the Common Terminology Criteria for AEs Version 4.0. Grading went from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death Related to AE).

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) Osteoarthritis Index is a questionnaire that measures pain, stiffness, and function both independently and collectively, using a Likert 3.1, 5-point scale. The Likert Scale uses the following descriptors for all items: none, mild moderate, severe, and extreme, corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. WOMAC A is the independent sub-scale for pain that is comprised of 5 questions. WOMAC A was administered at each visit from screening through Week 52/EOS.

KOOS is a participant (patient)-reported outcome measurement instrument, developed to assess the patient's opinion about their knee and associated problems. The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury and also consequences of primary osteoarthritis (OA). It holds 42 items in five separately scored sub-scales: KOOS Pain, KOOS Symptoms, Function in daily living, Function in Sport and Recreation, and knee-related Quality of Life (KOOS QOL). Only KOOS QOL sub-scale (Q1-Q4) was used in this study. A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No Problem) to 4 (Extreme Problems). Each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life. KOOS was administered at study visits from BL/Day 1 through week 52.
