Clinical Trial Summary

The benefits of single or repetitive administration (1 to 6) can have similar result in terms of muscular strength and patients' quality of life improvement, benefiting of the advantages of polymerized polynucleotides (IRADYN) formulation.

Clinical Trial Description

Of all osteoarthritis' localization into human body, knee OA represents the most common OA localization. On 2014 the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) has suggested as first step of pharmacological treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA) a background therapy with chronic symptomatic slow-acting drugs for osteoarthritis (SYSADOAs). In this class of natural compounds, hyaluronic acid (HA) has evidenced its efficacy after intra-articular (IA) administration in patient with mild to moderate knee OA . The filler used in this clinical investigation is using polymerised polynucleotides (PDRN) that has hydrophilic properties of polyanions; therefore, it can bind water molecules and provide a moisturising and lubricant effect. Its viscoelastic properties allow it to compensate for the loss of synovial fluid viscosity in the event of degenerative or trauma joint alterations. These actions reduce the mechanical stress on joints, thereby decreasing friction. This improves joint function and movement with significant relief of pain commonly associated with this problem. Moreover, the enzymatic degradation of the polynucleotide chain releases nucleotides into the synovial cavity. These nucleotides can bind water molecules and share the same viscoelastic properties as the entire chain, helping extend the duration of the effect. The benefits of single or repetitive administration (1 to 6) can have similar result in terms of muscular strength and patients' quality of life improvement, benefiting of the advantages of polymerized polynucleotides (IRADYN) formulation. ;
