Study of Safety, Efficacy of Fulranumab Adjunctive Use in OA of Hip or Knee, PAI3007

Pain Clinical Trial

Official title: Randomized, 16-Week, Multi-Phase, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Fulranumab as Adjunctive Therapy in Subjects With Signs and Symptoms of Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of fulranumab as adjunctive therapy compared with placebo in participants with signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee that are not adequately controlled by current pain therapy.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the name of the assigned drug), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance is given to one group of participants while active drug is given to another group of participants to see if there is a difference in response), parallel-group (study drugs given to participants in all treatment groups during the same time period) to evaluate the efficacy (capacity of the investigational drug to produce an effect), safety, and tolerability of fulranumab administered as adjunctive therapy (in combination with other drug therapy) to participants with chronic moderate to severe pain and functional impairment from knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) that is not adequately controlled by current pain therapy. The duration of participation in the study for an individual participant will be up to 67 weeks (includes a screening period of 3 weeks, a double-blind treatment period of 16 weeks, and a post-treatment follow-up period of up to 48 weeks). All participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatments (placebo, fulranumab 1mg, fulranumab 3mg) and given a single injection subcutaneously (under the skin) once every 4 weeks for up to 16 weeks. In addition, participants may elect to receive adjunctive therapy (ie, double-blind supplemental oral analgesic medication or matching placebo) throughout the double-blind treatment period. Blood samples will be collected from each participant at time points during the study. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests and vital signs which will be monitored throughout the study. ;
