About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of Hydros Joint Therapy and Hydros-TA Joint Therapy for Management of Pain Associated With Osteoarthritis in the Knee

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of Hydros Joint Therapy (Hydros) and Hydros-TA Joint Therapy (Hydros-TA) for treatment of pain from osteoarthritis of the knee, in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to evaluate Hydros and Hydros-TA treated subject for reduction of osteoarthritis symptoms, compared to a commercial control, as assessed by the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index.

The WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index is a validated assessment instrument that is self-administered and designed to subjectively elicit patient symptoms of osteoarthritis in the knee in the areas of pain, stiffness, and physical function. The WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index with its Pain Subscale has been used extensively as an effectiveness endpoint in clinical trials of viscosupplements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Hydros Joint Therapy, Hydros-TA Joint Therapy and Synvisc-One in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Carbylan Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 3 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

WOMAC VAS Pain over 26 weeks (time frame: 26 weeks post treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01134406, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Nov 2011.
