Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
the change of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
Week 2.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the change of Patient's global assessment of disease activity from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
Week 2.
the change of WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
Week 2.
the change of Short Form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36) score from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
The SF-36 is a generic instrument to assess health-related quality of life. It consists of 36 questions and assesses 8 dimensions: physical functioning, role physical, pain index, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health index. It also provides 2 summary measures of physical and mental components. The SF-36 score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status.
Week 2.
the change of Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate (ESR) from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
ESR, also called a sedimentation rate, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. It is a non-specific measure of inflammation.
Week 2.
the change of C-reactive protein (CRP) from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
Week 2.
the change of knee musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) from baseline to posttreatment
Time Frame: Week 2.
MSUS had wisely using in rheumatology practice and research. MSUS includes synovitis classification, synovial hyperplasia classification, articular cavity effusion and bone erosion classification. Specific as follows: Synovitis classification: 0 level, no doppler signal; level 1: three independent point or 2 successive or 1 and 2 in independent dot doppler signal; level 2: doppler signal < 50% of the synovial membrane area; level 3 doppler signal is the synovium in > 50% of the area. Synovial hyperplasia classification: 0 level, no synovial hyperplasia; level 1: synovial hyperplasia of mild, not more than bone surface high attachment; level 2: synovial hyperplasia more than bone surface high wire, but not more than the backbone; level 3: synovial hyperplasia more than bone surface peak wires, and extends along the backbone of the side. Articular cavity effusion and bone erosion classification: adopt binary evaluation, namely 0: normal, 1: abnormal.
Week 2.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
