Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This is a Canadian randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of adalimumab versus placebo when used to treat subjects with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the knee, and with clinical features of inflammation, whose pain persists despite receiving maximum tolerated doses of conventional therapy. A total of 100 subjects will be entered into the study.
Subjects will be randomized (1:1) at baseline to receive either adalimumab 40 mg every other week or placebo for 16 weeks. The study drug will be self-administered via subcutaneous injection. Efficacy will be assessed at week 16 while the safety of the study drug will be monitored throughout the study. At week 16 all subjects will begin to receive open label adalimumab 40 mg every other week.

- Subjects taking glucosamine and/or chondroitin at screening must discontinue or remain on a stable dose, unmodified if at all possible for the entire duration of the study.
- If treatment for osteoarthritis (NSAID) or osteoporosis (bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators) is necessary, it will have to be continued, unmodified if at all possible for the entire duration of the study. If the subject does not wish to continue them during the study, they must be stopped 14 days prior to the Baseline visit.
