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.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 95 years (Adult, Older Adult)

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Average Weekly Pain With Walking (NPRS 0-10) in the Index Knee
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12

Average daily OA pain in the index knee while walking was evaluated using a 0 to 10 Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) (0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain). 0 was the best score and 10 was the worst score.

Subjects used an ePRO at bedtime (9:00 PM ± 3 hours) to record on a daily basis their average daily OA knee pain score with walking during the previous 24 hours.
Baseline, Week 12

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
Mean Change From Baseline in WOMAC A (Pain) Dimension Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities developed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score to use among patients with knee and/or hip OA. The WOMAC is a validated, multidimensional measure of pain, stiffness, and physical functional disability that is sensitive to the effects of drugs or other interventions. This study used the 11-box NPRS format ranging from 0 (none or no pain/stiffness/difficulty) to 10 (extreme).

The WOMAC is a self-administered index that contains 24 items asked in relation to the index knee joint. The WOMAC has 3 dimensions: Pain (Subscale A), Stiffness (Subscale B), and Physical Function (Subscale C). Lower scores mean a better outcome and higher scores mean a worse outcome.

The pain dimension includes 5 items about the amount of pain experienced doing various activities (walking, stair climbing, nocturnal, at rest, weight bearing). The score ranges from 0 to 50.
Baseline, Week 12

The stiffness dimension has 2 items: joint stiffness upon wakening and joint stiffness later in the day. The score ranges from 0 to 20.

The function dimension asks about the degree of difficulty in doing 17 activities due to the reference joint. The score ranges from 0 to 170.
