Collagen-PVP vs Hylan G-F 20 in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

July 15, 2019 updated by: Coordinación de Investigación en Salud, Mexico

Efficacy Evaluation of Intraarticular Collagen-polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (Fibroquel®) vs Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc®) in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis. A Double-blind, Controlled, Randomised, Parallel-group Non-inferiority Study

Articular cartilage degradation is the main characteristic of osteoarthritis (OA), involving enzymatic and inflammatory mechanisms that change it into a chronic disease. Since articular cartilage shows limited regenerative ability, several intra-articular drugs have been developed in order to decrease inflammation and provide a better clinical outcome to the patient.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aims to compare effectiveness of the treatment with intra-articular administration of collagen-PVP versus hylan GF 20, using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, 6 months after treatment. Hypothesis to test is: If effectiveness of intra-articular collagen-PVP is not lower than hylan GF 20 treatment in knee osteoarthritis subjects, then, statistically significant difference would not exist in IKDC score mean increase among treatment groups, after six months.

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.

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 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC).
Time Frame: Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline and 6 months after first infiltration
Change from Baseline in International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score at 6 months. The IKDC subjetive form is a patient-reported outcome, which contains sections on knee symptoms (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (2 items).The IKDC is scored by summing the scores for the individual items and then transforming the score to a scale that ranges from 0 to 100 (add the score for each item and divide by the maximum possible). The transformed score is interpreted as a measure of function such that higher scores represent higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with activities of daily living or sports activities and the absence of symptoms.
Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline and 6 months after first infiltration

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
Change in Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months after first infiltration
Change from Baseline in Pain Intensity score (MOS Pain severity scale) at 6 months. The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Pain Severity Scale is a 5-item scale to assess pain intensity (average and at the most), frequency, and duration over the last 7 days. Scores range from 0-100; higher score indicates more pain
Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months after first infiltration
Change in quality of life: EQS-5D
Time Frame: Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months after first infiltration
Change from Baseline in quality of life (EQS-5D) score at 6 months.
Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months after first infiltration
Changes in Urine Collagen Type II C-telopeptide Fragments
Time Frame: Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, and 6 months after first infiltration
Changes from baseline in Urine Collagen Type II C-telopeptide Fragments (uCTX-II) at 6 months
Evaluation will be conducted at Baseline, and 6 months after first infiltration
