History of Changes
  Purpose

OA knee is a common degenerative diseases of the joint.

  • There are many methods to treat this condition.
  • Hyaluronic acid is one of the recomended treatment of OA knee.
  • There is no any study on MRI change after injection hyaluronic acid.
  • The Hypothesis is 25 mg of sodium hyaluronate (2.5 ml) would preserve the joint space in patient with osteoarthritis of the knee compared to placebo .

Condition Intervention Phase
Osteoarthritis
 Drug: 25 mg sodium hyaluronate "GO ON"
Drug: normal saline,2 ml., intraarticular weekly for 5 weeks
 Phase 3

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • MRI will be analysed with semiquantitative whole organ scoring method (WORMS) c [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • WOMAC, VAS, side effects [ Time Frame: 14 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: July 2008
Study Completion Date: October 2009
Primary Completion Date: September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: B
2 ml of Normal saline intraarticular injection to the knee joint weekly for 5 weeks
 Drug: normal saline,2 ml., intraarticular weekly for 5 weeks
Experimental: A
2 ml of 25 mg sodium hyaluronate intraarticular injection to the knee joint weekly for 5 weeks
 Drug: 25 mg sodium hyaluronate "GO ON"
25 mg sodium hyaluronate, 2 ml., intraarticular weekly for 5 weeks
Other Name: 25 mg sodium hyaluronate "GO ON"

Detailed Description:

This will be the phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 52 weeks duration designed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium hyaluronate to placebo (saline), in adult with OA of the knee joints. Randomization will be stratified by Kellgren-Lawrence(KL) grade (garde2 or 3), by subjects X-ray. A total of 60 subjects are planed for enrollment in this study. The study will be conducted over approximately 52 weeks.

  • Pain at or below 40 mm on a 100 mm VAS in the index knee joints.
  • A documented diagnosis of OA of the knee joint, or meeting American College of Rheumatology (ACR) clinical criteria for classification of idiopathic (primary) OA for at least 6 months prior to screening.

  • Treatment with other drugs potentially affecting bone or cartilage metabolism as described below:
  • chronic systematic corticosteroids
  • Diacerin or glucosamine treatment within the last 12 months.
