About this study

Official title: Efficacy of OSTENIL PLUS (Hyaluronic Acid) Versus SYNVISC-ONE in Patients With Tibiofemoral Osteoarthritis. A Randomised, Controlled, Double-blind, Parallel-group Study With a 6-month Follow-up

The main objective of the study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the efficacy of a single intra-articular injection of OSTENIL PLUS compared to that of a single intra-articular injection of the reference product SYNVISC-ONE in the treatment of symptomatic tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. The primary endpoint was the change in mean score on the WOMAC pain scales from D0 to D180.

Read the detailed description

After a period of washout-out for NSAIDs, the patients received a single intra-articular injection of OSTENIL PLUS or of SYNVISC-ONE in the most painful knee. The study involved a preselection visit at D-7 and five further visits: at D0 (baseline, evaluation before intra-articular injection), at D2 ± 2 days (injection), at D30 ± 15 days, at D90 ± 15 days and C5 at D180 ± 15 days.

To enrol the patients as quickly as possible, 129 sites, i.e. general medical or rheumatology practices, were open. After verifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the evaluating investigators assigned a randomisation number based on the chronological order of inclusion of patients at their site. The patient was then sent to the injecting investigator so that he/she could give the injection of the product corresponding to the randomisation number.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in WOMAC A

    Change from baseline in the pain subscore (section A) of the WOMAC score

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 180

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Lequesne algofunctional index

    Index assessing the severity of osteoarthritis

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 180

  2. WOMAC B

    Stiffness subscore (section B) of the WOMAC score

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 180

  3. WOMAC C

    Function subscore (section C) of the WOMAC score

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 180

  4. Patient's overall status score in relation to his/her knee osteoarthritis

    Visual analogue scale assessed by the patient

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 180

  5. Assessment of overall treatment efficacy by the patient

    5-point scale (1 = very good; 2 = good; 3 = moderate; 4 = poor; 5 = very poor)

    Measured: Day 30 to Day 180

  6. Assessment of overall treatment efficacy by the investigator

    5-point scale (1 = very good; 2 = good; 3 = moderate; 4 = poor; 5 = very poor)

    Measured: Day 30 to Day 180

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OSTENIL PLUS and SYNVISC-ONE in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by TRB Chemedica.

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 9 inclusion and 28 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 11 Oct 2017. 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.

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 in WOMAC A (time frame: Day 0 to Day 180). 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 11 Oct 2017.
