Study Description

Brief Summary:

This study evaluates the efficacy of intra-articular administration of RegenoGel-OSP™ and RegenoGel™ to treat knee pain and effect on subject's activity and quality of life. During the study the subjects will receive two treatments at a 3-month interval. The study is double-blinded. The subjects will be randomized and sequentially assigned to RegenoGel-OSP™, RegenoGel or placebo treatment in the first treatment. In the second treatment after interval of three months all the subjects will necessarily receive one of the two active products. The follow-up period will continue for one year after first treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Efficacy assessment on change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment using the Visual Analog Score (VAS) [ Time Frame: Three months ]
   Change in pain in the effected knee joint in response to treatment using the Visual Analog Score (VAS). VAS score is measured according to the patient's pain rating scale from 1 to 10. The scale of pain increases with increasing pain. For example, score 1 indicates absence of pain (minimum score) and score 10 indicates unbearable pain (maximum score). Each VAS score amounts to only one number of outcome from 1 to 10. VAS will be determined in resting position and in active position. No subscales are combined here.
2. Efficacy assessment on change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score. [ Time Frame: Three months ]
   Change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (Pain both at rest and during exercise).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment using the Visual Analog Score (VAS) [ Time Frame: Six months ]
   Change in pain in the effected knee joint in response to treatment using the Visual Analog Score (VAS). VAS score is measured according to the patient's pain rating scale from 1 to 10. The scale of pain increases with increasing pain. For example, score 1 indicates absence of pain (minimum score) and score 10 indicates unbearable pain (maximum score). Each VAS score amounts to only one number of outcome from 1 to 10. VAS will be determined in resting position and in active position. No subscales are combined here.
2. Change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score [ Time Frame: Six months ]
   Change in pain in the affected knee joint in response to treatment based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (pain both at rest and during exercise).
3. Change in the subject´s activity in response to treatments based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score [ Time Frame: Three and Six months ]
   Change in the subject´s activity in response to treatments based on the entire Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score.
4. Change from baseline in quality of life in response to treatments using the SF-12 health survey. [ Time Frame: Three and Six months ]
   Change from baseline in quality of life in response to treatments using the SF-12 health survey.
5. Change in Subjective International Knee Documentation Committee score (IKDC). [ Time Frame: Three and Six months ]
   Change in Subjective International Knee Documentation Committee score (IKDC).
6. Clinical safety and tolerability assessments which will include: incidence, relatedness and severity of treatment-emergent SAE's, UAE's and AE's in the treatment arms. [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months post first injection ]
   Clinical safety and tolerability assessments up to 12 months post 1st injection which will include: incidence, relatedness and severity of treatment-emergent SAE's, UAE's and AE's in the treatment arms.
