Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Proof-of-concept Study to Examine QUC398 in Participants With Knee OA (NCT NCT05462990)

NCT ID: NCT05462990

Last Updated: 2026-01-28

Results Overview

The KOOS questionnaire is a commonly used instrument to assess the patient's perception about their knee and associated problems. The original KOOS consists of 5 subscales. One of those is the pain frequency/severity during functional activities consisting of 9 questions with a recall of 7 days. Each question has 5 standardized answer options with a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale. Change from baseline in KOOS pain score was analyzed using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) including all time-points to compare treatment groups. The model includes baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-by-timepoints as fixed effects. Missing data is assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). Based on a primary estimand framework.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants that received any study drug. Only participants with non-missing values were included in the analysis.

Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained from the target knee to visualize and quantify changes in volume of cartilage in the index region. The index region was defined as the union of the femoral medial anterior (FMA), central (FMC) and posterior (FMP) cartilage subregions in the knee. Change from baseline in cartilage volume was analyzed using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) including all time-points to compare treatment groups. The model includes baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-timepoints as fixed effects, and participant as random effect. Missing data is assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). Based on a secondary estimand framework.

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 1 (Day 5), 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants that received any study drug. At each time point, only participants with non-missing values were included in the analysis.

The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain is a subjective assessment in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. NRS pain score ranges from 0-10 and for analyses were transformed to a 0-100 scale to be consistent with KOOS pain scores. A negative change from baseline implied improvement in pain. The NRS Pain instrument had a recall period of 24 hours and the participants were asked to rate the pain intensity at its worst. Change from baseline in NRS pain score was analyzed using a MMRM including all time-points to compare treatment groups. The model includes baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-by-timepoints as fixed effects. Missing data is assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). Based on second secondary estimand framework.

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants that received any study drug. At each time point, only participants with non-missing values were included in the analysis.

The KOOS questionnaire is a commonly used instrument to assess the patient's perception about their knee and associated problems.The original KOOS consists of 5 subscales: Pain, other Symptoms (like stiffness and swelling), Function in Daily Living, Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec), and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale. Total KOOS scale was calculated as the average of all subscales (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms). A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. Change from baseline in KOOS total score was analyzed using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) including all time-points to compare treatment groups. The model includes baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-by-timepoints as fixed effects. Missing data is assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). Based on second secondary estimand framework.

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants that received any study drug. At each time point, only participants with non-missing values were included in the analysis.

The KOOS questionnaire is a commonly used instrument to assess the patient's perception about their knee and associated problems. The original KOOS consists of 5 subscales. One of those is the function in sport and recreation consisting of 5 questions with a recall of 7 days. Each question has 5 standardized answer options with a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. Change from baseline in KOOS Function in sport and recreation score was analyzed using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) including all time-points to compare treatment groups. The model includes baseline, treatment, timepoint and treatment-by-timepoints as fixed effects. Missing data is assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR). Based on second secondary estimand framework.

The PGA of osteoarthritis disease activity was performed using a NRS (11-point scale from 0 - 10) with a recall period of 24 hours, and it was completed by the participant prior to drug administration at visits specified in the assessment schedule. A negative change from baseline implied improvement in pain. Change from baseline in function in patients global assessment (PGA) was analyzed using a MMRM including all time-points to compare treatment group.
