Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Scores of the Index Knee at Week 16	The WOMAC was developed to assess pain, stiffness, and physical function in subjects with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. The WOMAC consists of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: Pain (5 items); Stiffness (2 items); and Physical Function (17 items). Each item is rated on an 11-point (0 to 10) numerical rating scale (NRS). The pain sub-score has a range of 0 (no pain) to 50 (maximum pain). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.	Baseline, Week 16
Primary	Change From Baseline in Quantitative Synovitis of the Index Knee at Week 26	Change in synovitis of the index knee was evaluated using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements. MRI quantitative synovitis of the index knee was defined by mean synovial membrane thickness.	Baseline, Week 26

Secondary	Change From Baseline In Index Knee Pain Intensity at Week 16	The index knee pain intensity was assessed in 3 different ways using an 11 -point NRS (0 to 10 points representing 'no pain' to 'worst possible pain'). Subjects were asked to enter: 1) average pain intensity during the past week (7-day recall period); 2) the worst pain during activity over the past 24 hours; 3) pain intensity before and after a 40 meter walk (performance pain, before and after). The 40 meter fast paced walk test is a test of short distance walking activity, walking speed over short distances and changing direction during walking. Individuals taking the test should walk as quickly but as safely as possible, without running, along a walkway and then turn around, and repeat again for a total distance of 40 m (132 feet). The total time taken to walk the 40 meters is recorded.	Baseline, Week 16
