Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm 1
Subjects assigned to this arm will receive one intra-articular injection of 0.07 mg lorecivivint in 2 ml vehicle (same treatment as in the parent-study) into their target knee (the same target knee injected in the parent study); performed on Day 1, at Week 48 and every 52 weeks thereafter.

Drug: Lorecivivint
Healthcare professional-administered intra-articular injections of lorecivivint.
Other Name: SM04690 |
Experimental: Arm 2
Subjects assigned to this arm will receive one intra-articular injection of 0 mg lorecivivint in 2 ml vehicle (same treatment as in the parent-study) into their target knee (the same target knee injected in the parent study) on Day 1, followed by one intra-articular injection of 0.07 mg lorecivivint in 2 ml vehicle at Week 48 and every 52 weeks thereafter.

- Primary Safety Outcome: Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Visit 1E (Day 1) through Visit 3E (Week 48) ]AEs that occur during the study will be recorded, and ongoing AEs at the end of the parent-study will continue to be monitored. All AEs will be evaluated for severity, seriousness and causal relationship to study medication.
- Primary Efficacy Outcome: Change from parent-study baseline medial joint space width (mJSW) in the target knee [ Time Frame: Parent-study baseline; Visit 3E (Week 48) ]Change from parent-study baseline in mJSW as documented by radiograph (X-ray) of the target knee
- Change from parent-study baseline OA pain in the target knee [ Time Frame: Parent-study baseline; Visit 2E (Week 24) ]Change from parent-study baseline OA pain in the target knee as assessed by the weekly averages of daily pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The pain NRS is an 11-point scale [0-10] for subject self-reporting of average knee pain in the last 24 hours; 0 indicates no pain, and 10 represents the worst possible pain.
- Change from parent-study baseline OA function in the target knee [ Time Frame: Parent-study baseline; Visit 2E (Week 24) ]Change from parent-study baseline OA function in the target knee as assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS 3.1) physical functioning subscore (WOMAC Function). The WOMAC is a widely-used, proprietary outcome measurement tool used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of subjects with OA of the knee and hip, including pain (5 questions), stiffness (2 questions), and physical functioning (17 questions) of the joints. Each question is measured on a scale from 0 (lowest pain/lowest stiffness/highest function) to 10 (highest pain/highest stiffness/lowest function). The WOMAC Function subscore ranges from 0 to 170.

- Fully understanding study requirements and willingness to comply with study visits and assessments
- Understanding and signing of the informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study-related procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, constitutes a risk or contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct, or evaluation
- Any contraindications for an intra-articular (IA) injection in the target knee in the opinion of the Investigator
- Any known reason identified by the Investigator or Sponsor that the subject may not be compliant with study visits or may no longer be an appropriate candidate for the study (e.g. planned major surgery, knee replacement during the parent study, planning to move away from the research site, or initiation of a prohibited concomitant medication including, but not limited to, IA injection of glucocorticoids, hyaluronic acid derivatives, platelet-rich plasma, stem cell therapies, or other agents with therapeutic intent into the target knee)

- Current or pending disability claim, workers' compensation, or litigation(s) that may compromise response to treatment
- Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and women who are not post-menopausal (defined as 12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause) or permanently surgically sterile (includes hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy) who have a positive or indeterminate pregnancy test result at Visit 1E (Day 1)
- Women who are not post-menopausal or permanently surgically sterile who are sexually active, and who are not willing to use birth control (as outlined in the protocol) during the study period
