Clinical Trial Summary

This is an Open-label Study to Assess the Safety of Repeat Dose of FX006 Administered to Patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Knee

Description:

This study is an open-label, repeat administration design of 32 mg FX006. The study will be conducted in male and female patients ≥ 40 years of age with symptomatic OA of the knee.

Eligible patients will be offered participation to receive an initial intra-articular (IA) injection of FX006 administered to the index knee at Day 1.

Patients who receive an initial injection of FX006 will return at Weeks 4 and 8 before being evaluated at 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks for repeat administration. At the first evaluation where the patient has been determined to meet repeat administration eligibility criteria, the patient will be eligible to receive a second IA injection of FX006.

Patients who are eligible to receive a second injection will be evaluated for a total of 52 weeks post initial injection at: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 52, regardless of the time at which they receive their second injection. In addition, X-rays will be completed at Screening and Week 52 or End of Study (EOS) for assessment of safety.

Patients that do not benefit from the initial treatment as determined by evaluation at Week 12 will complete the study at the Week 12 follow-up visit.

Patients who are not eligible for a second injection of FX006 after evaluation at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 will complete the study at the Week 24 follow-up visit.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) A Pain Subscale	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) Osteoarthritis Index is a questionnaire that measures pain, stiffness, and function both independently and collectively, using a Likert 3.1, 5-point scale. The Likert Scale uses the following descriptors for all items: none, mild moderate, severe, and extreme, corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. WOMAC A is the independent sub-scale for pain that is comprised of 5 questions.; WOMAC A was administered at each visit from screening through Week 52/EOS.	12 Weeks Post Each FX006 Administration
Other	WOMAC B Stiffness Subscale	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) Osteoarthritis Index is a questionnaire that measures pain, stiffness, and function both independently and collectively, using a Likert 3.1, 5-point scale. The Likert Scale uses the following descriptors for all items: none, mild moderate, severe, and extreme, corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. WOMAC B is the independent sub-scale for stiffness that is comprised of 2 questions.; WOMAC B was administered at each visit from screening through Week 52/EOS.	12 Weeks Post Each FX006 Administration
Other	WOMAC C Function Subscale	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC®) Osteoarthritis Index is a questionnaire that measures pain, stiffness, and function both independently and collectively, using a Likert 3.1, 5-point scale. The Likert Scale uses the following descriptors for all items: none, mild moderate, severe, and extreme, corresponding to an ordinal scale of 0-4. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. WOMAC C is the independent sub-scale for function that is comprised of 17 questions.; WOMAC C was administered at each visit from screening through Week 52/EOS.	12 Weeks Post Each FX006 Administration
Other	Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) QOL Subscale	KOOS is a participant (patient)-reported outcome measurement instrument, developed to assess the patient's opinion about their knee and associated problems. The KOOS evaluates both short-term and long-term consequences of knee injury and also consequences of primary osteoarthritis (OA). It holds 42 items in five separately scored sub-scales: KOOS Pain, KOOS Symptoms, Function in daily living, Function in Sport and Recreation, and knee-related Quality of Life (KOOS QOL). Only KOOS QOL sub-scale (Q1-Q4) was used in this study.; A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No Problem) to 4 (Extreme Problems). Each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life.; KOOS was administered at study visits from BL/Day 1 through week 52.	Up to 12 Weeks Post Each FX006 Administration
Primary	Total Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) in Patients With Symptomatic Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Knee Who Received Two Doses of 32 mg FX006	Analyses of adverse events (AE) were performed for events considered treatment-emergent (TE) in patients who received two doses of 32 mg FX006. TE was defined as any AE with onset after administration of the 1st dose of study drug or any event present at baseline but worsened in intensity through the study. Severity was graded by the PI using the Common Terminology Criteria for AEs Version 4.0. Grading went from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death Related to AE).	Up to 52 Weeks
