IDEA-033 Three Months Dose Finding in OA Followed by IDEA-033 Three Months Extension in OA

March 19, 2009 updated by: IDEA AG

A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Evaluation of Dose Related Safety and Efficacy of Epicutaneously Applied IDEA-033 for 3 Months Treatment of OA of the Knee Followed by a Double-Blind, Dose-Controlled Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Epicutaneously Applied IDEA-033 for 12 Weeks Treatment of OA of the Knee

The study objective is the eluciation of the dose-response function in efficacy (and possibly safety) in order to determine an optimal dose with respect to efficacy and safety. The study is designed with three dose levels and one placebo control.
