About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Evaluation of Dose Related Safety and Efficacy of Epicutaneously Applied IDEA-033 for 3 Months Treatment of OA of the Knee Followed by a Double-Blind, Dose-Controlled Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Epicutaneously Applied IDEA-033 for 12 Weeks Treatment of OA of the Knee

The study objective is the eluciation of the dose-response function in efficacy (and possibly safety) in order to determine an optimal dose with respect to efficacy and safety. The study is designed with three dose levels and one placebo control.

  • IDEA-033 (and rescue medication)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) on the Visual Analogue Scale version of the entire WOMAC Pain subscale (primary)

  2. patient global assessment of response to therapy measured on a 5-point Likert Scale at week 12 or end of study measurements (co-primary)

  3. change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) on the Visual Analogue Scale version of the entire WOMAC function subscale (co-primary)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) for Physician's Global Assessment of OA and for observed function (TUG)

  2. Mean number of rescue medication taken per day while in the study

  3. Number of withdrawals and time to discontinuation of the study due to lack of efficacy

  4. Time to onset (in days) of pain relief and time to onset of new flares during treatment

  5. Change from baseline on the vitality subscale of the SF-36 health survey and the EURO QoL

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IDEA-033 (and rescue medication) in people with Osteoarthritis; Knee, run by IDEA AG.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change from baseline at week 12 (or end of study measurements) on the Visual Analogue Scale version of the entire WOMAC Pain subscale (primary). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2009.
