Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Mobithron Advance drug works to treat and slow the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in patients. It will also learn about the safety and long-term effects of this drug. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does long-term administration of Mobithron Advance can modify the progression of knee osteoarthritis with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1 to 3 in HUSM patients?
* Does long term usage of Mobithron Advance has safety profile? Researchers will compare the Mobithron Advance drug to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if said drug works to treat OA.

Participants will:

* Undergo pre-study assessment (baseline assessments) during first visit
* Take oral Mobithron Advance daily for 1 year
* Visit the clinic once at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months intervals from the initial visit for follow up assessments

Detailed Description

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

The study will be conducted as a prospective single-arm trial with a one-year follow-up at the Orthopaedic Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Malaysia. Participants will include adults over 50 years old diagnosed with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA) of Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1 to 3, based on clinical and radiological criteria. A total of 84 patients will be recruited, accounting for a 10% dropout rate, and will receive daily oral Mobithron Advance for 12 months. Pain will be assessed monthly using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and physical function will be evaluated with the WOMAC index at follow-up visits. Cartilage preservation will be measured through MRI scans at baseline, six months, and twelve months, using a cartilage-specific 3D WATSc sequence to monitor central femoral condyle thickness. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring renal function, including creatinine and eGFR, alongside recording any adverse events. Data will include demographics, clinical outcomes, and radiological findings, and will be analysed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and linear mixed-effects models to evaluate changes over time.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This Mobithron study uses a prospective, single-arm interventional clinical trial model, where all patients will receive Mobithron Advance daily for 12 months. This design allows you to follow participants forward in time and directly assess the effects of the intervention on knee osteoarthritis outcomes, including cartilage preservation, pain reduction, functional improvement, and safety. The single-arm approach is suitable for an early-stage study of a novel therapeutic, focusing on generating essential safety and efficacy data before progressing to randomised controlled trials. By including patients across Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1-3, the study also explores how disease severity influences treatment response.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobithron Advance Arm

Treatment Arm will receive one Mobithron Advance oral tablet daily for 12 months. Outcomes will be assessed include cartilage preservation (MRI), pain (VAS), function (WOMAC), and safety (renal function and adverse events)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Type 2 collagen

Intervention Type DRUG

This study's intervention is undenatured type II collagen (UC-II) oral tablets, one daily for 12 months, targeting knee osteoarthritis (KL grade 1-3). It differs from other interventions such as glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, or NSAIDs by working through an oral tolerance mechanism with the potential to preserve cartilage and modify disease progression, rather than providing only short-term symptom relief.
