Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot study examining the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of TTAX03 per joint to relieve severe spinal facet joint (FJ) pain and improve function in subjects with facet joint pain (FJP) in the lumbosacral region. The design is randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled and dose-group sequential.


Description:

This is a Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded dose ranging study design with two dose escalation cohorts to be conducted at three sites in the USA. The primary objective is to examine the safety of FJ IA injections with the test article. The fundamental framework for the number of subjects and dose escalation decisions is modeled on the widely utilized phase 1 "3+3" dose escalation design. A second objective is to examine the efficacy of two doses of TTAX03. The efficacy null hypothesis (HO) is that one administration of TTAX03, introduced into each of two or four joints (at one or two levels) by IA injection, will have no more benefit with respect to pain relief and improved function than an equal volume of placebo (sterile saline). The alternate hypothesis (HA) is that TTAX03 will provide a clinically meaningful reduction in pain and improvement in function compared to placebo. An exploratory objective is to examine the potential benefit in terms of reduced need for narcotic pain relief, radiofrequency ablation, or surgical procedures for relief of LBP.

Gender All
Age group 35 Years to 85 Years
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able and willing to provide written informed consent 2. Women of childbearing potential (those who are not premenarchal, not surgically sterilized [hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy], or not post-menopausal) may participate in the study if they meet all of the following conditions: - they are not breast feeding - they have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening - they agree to undertake a serum pregnancy test at screening, at 3 months, and upon exiting the study - they do not intend to become pregnant during the study - they are using adequate birth control methods and they agree to continue using those methods for the duration of the study Adequate birth control methods are defined as: hormonal-topical, oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives; mechanical-spermicide in conjunction with a barrier such as a condom or diaphragm; IUD; or, surgical sterilization of partner. For non-sexually active females, abstinence may be regarded as an adequate method of birth control; however, if the subject becomes sexually active during the study, she must agree to use an adequate birth control method as described above for the remainder of the study. NOTE: Women who have had a bilateral tubal ligation are not considered to have been surgically sterilized and must agree to the conditions as specified above. Post-menopausal is defined as no menstrual period for at least one year. 3. = 35 and = 85 years of age 4. BMI <40 kg/m2 5. Clinical suspicion of painful OA of the facet joint(s) in 1 to 4 lumbosacral joints (within 1 - 2 levels) of greater than 3 months duration. 6.

Allergy to any local anesthetic agents 11. Any of the following conditions: 1. Local (spine) or systemic infection 2. Tumor in the spine 3. Acute (< 3 months duration) vertebral fracture e. Systemic inflammatory disorder f. Radicular syndrome g. Cauda equina syndrome h. Ankylosing spondylitis i. Any arthritis not considered osteoarthritis, such as reactive, rheumatoid, psoriatic or enteropathic arthritis j. History of other autoimmune disease or Crohn's disease 12. Progressive neurological condition such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's disease, etc. 13. Clinical characteristics suggestive of discogenic pain (i.e., chronic low back pain that subsides in supine position but aggravated after long-time sitting or standing, radicular pain) 14. Radiologic evidence and radicular pain indicating symptomatic herniated disc 15. Sacroiliac joint pain or symptomatic nerve root impingement (neurogenic claudication) related to spinal stenosis 16. Evidence of dynamic listhesis, or fixed listhesis >10 mm accompanied by intermittent claudication or spinal stenosis 17.
