Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Determine the Safety and the Efficacy of Fasinumab Compared to Placebo and Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) for Treatment of Adults With Pain From Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip (NCT NCT03304379)

NCT ID: NCT03304379

Last Updated: 2023-02-24

Results Overview

WOMAC pain subscale was a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in the index joint (knee or hip) in past 48 hours. It was calculated as the mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of 0 (no pain) to 10 (higher pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain.

Participant Flow

A total of 4531 participants were screened in this study. Out of which, 1650 participants were randomized to 1 of the following arms: Fasinumab (1 milligram \[mg\]), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), matched placebo, Fasinumab 3 and 6 mg. Screen failure was mostly due to inclusion criteria not met/exclusion criteria met. Eligible participants were randomized to receive placebo matched to Fasinumab/NSAIDs, NSAIDs (Diclofenac and Celecoxib) and Fasinumab 1 mg.

In May 2018, the sponsor implemented an urgent safety measure to stop dosing for participants randomized to Fasinumab (6 mg and 3 mg), to prevent further randomization to these regimens across the Fasinumab program based on review of unblinded data in an ongoing study R475-PN-1523 (NCT02683239). Participants from Fasinumab 3 mg and 6 mg group were moved directly into the 20-week follow-up period.

Population: This outcome measure examined only placebo vs. fasinumab 1mg arms. Here, "Number of Subjects Analysed" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. Modified full analysis set (mFAS) includes all randomized participants in FAS but excludes participants from 4 sites for which there were potential concerns regarding data quality, identified prior to database lock.

WOMAC pain subscale was a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in the index joint (knee or hip) in past 48 hours. It was calculated as the mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of 0 (no pain) to 10 (higher pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain.

Physical function referred to participant's ability to move around and perform usual activities of daily living. The WOMAC physical function subscale was a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the degree of difficulty experienced due to osteoarthritis in index joint (knee or hip) during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from 17 individual questions scored on a NRS of 0 (minimum difficulty) to 10 (maximum difficulty), where higher scores indicated maximum difficulty.

Participants reported weekly average walking index joint pain based on NRS. The NRS was nationally recognized numeric scale from 0 to 10, where 0 would demonstrate no pain, 1 to 3 would demonstrate mild pain, 4 to 6 would be moderate pain, 7 to 9 would be severe pain and 10 would be the worst pain possible. Higher score indicated greater pain.

AA was a composite term that encompasses the following conditions: Rapidly progressive Osteoarthritis (OA) type 1 and 2, Subchondral insufficiency fractures, and Primary Osteonecrosis confirmed by an arthropathy adjudication committee. AAs were also evaluated to determine if they met Destructive Arthropathy criteria.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to follow-up period (Week 44)

Population: This outcome measure examined only placebo, NSAIDs vs. fasinumab 1mg arms. SAF included all randomized participants from the FAS who received any study drug. It was based on the actual treatment received.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may or may not have a causal relationship with the study drug. TEAE was defined as an AE with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. Any TEAE included participants with both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

Population: This outcome measure examined only placebo, NSAIDs vs. fasinumab 1mg arms. SAF included all randomized participants from the FAS who received any study drug. It was based on the actual treatment received.

Potential events of SNS dysfunction were monitored throughout the study through physical examination, AE reporting, assessment of orthostatic hypotension, and the Survey of Autonomic Symptoms. Sympathetic nervous system dysfunction was diagnosed after consultation with an appropriate specialist, such as a neurologist and/or cardiologist.

Population: This outcome measure examined only placebo, NSAIDs vs. fasinumab 1mg arms. The ADA analysis set included all participants who received any study drug and had at least 1 non-missing ADA result following the first dose of study drug.

Immunogenicity was characterized by ADA responses \& titers. Responses categories: Pre-existing immunoreactivity - ADA positive response at baseline with all post first dose negative results or positive response at baseline with all post first dose ADA responses \< 9-fold over baseline titer levels; Treatment-boosted response - positive response in the assay post first dose, \>= 9-fold over baseline titer levels, when baseline results are positive; Treatment-emergent response - ADA positive response post first dose when baseline results = negative or missing.
