What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in WOMAC Pain at Week 12 for TLC599 12 mg Versus Placebo

    The WOMAC (Western Ontario \& McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Version 3.1) consists of 24 questions rated on a 0-4 Likert scale, totaling a score from 0-96, reflecting the previous 24 hours. Sub-scale scores for Pain (5 items, a 0-20 scale), Stiffness (2 items, a 0-8 scale), and Physical Function (17 items, a 0-68 scale) are summed to calculate the WOMAC Composite score. Both composite and sub-scale scores are normalized to a 0-4 scale for analysis, with higher scores indicating greater severity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  6. PGIC at Week 12 for TLC599 12mg Versus Placebo

    Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a single-item question that measures change in patients' overall improvement rated on a 7-point scale including "1 = very much improved," "2 = much improved," "3 = minimally improved," "4 = no change," "5 = minimally worse," "6 = much worse," or "7 = very much worse".

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Total Rescue Acetaminophen Consumption Through Week 12 for TLC599 12mg Versus Placebo

    Rescue medication use of acetaminophen was provided and recorded in electronic patient diaries. Weekly Total Acetaminophen consumption was tabulated for analysis on a weekly basis, starting from the first date of study drug injection: (Day 1, 8), (Day 8, 15), and so on. Average daily use (e.g., Weekly Total Acetaminophen Consumption divided by 7) was computed to produce Weekly Average Daily Acetaminophen Consumption.

    Measured: through Week 12

    Durable responder endpoints were derived based on the imputed WOMAC pain data. A subject which has ≥ 30% decrease in pain response from Baseline at each visit within a specified time period (x-y). This was derived for patients based on the Injection 1 Baseline for the following time period (x-y): (4-12).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TLC599, DSP and Normal Saline in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Taiwan Liposome Company at 46 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 46 sites in United States, Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 in WOMAC Pain at Week 12 for TLC599 12 mg Versus Placebo (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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 8 Oct 2024.
