What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Weight-Bearing Pain (WBP) Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Week 16
Change from baseline in WBP after the first treatment assessed using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate worse pain
Week 16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Weight-Bearing Pain (WBP), Resting Pain (RP), and Motion Pain (MP) VAS
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Change from baseline in WBP, RP, and MP after the first and second treatment cycles, assessed using a 100-mm VAS (0-100). Higher scores indicate worse pain.
Up to 56 weeks
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Score
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Change from baseline in WOMAC total and subscale scores after the first and second treatment cycles. WOMAC is a 24-item questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 96. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.
Up to 56 weeks
EQ-5D (EuroQol 5-Dimension Health Questionnaire)
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Change from baseline in EQ-5D score after the first and second treatment cycles. EQ-5D consists of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and an EQ Visual Analog Scale (EQ VAS; 0-100). Higher scores indicate better health status.
Up to 56 weeks
Patient Global Assessment (PGA), Investigator Global Assessment (IGA)
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Change from baseline in PGA and IGA after the first and second treatment cycles, assessed using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-100). Higher scores indicate worse disease status.
Up to 56 weeks
WBP and OMERACT-OARSI Responder Rate
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Proportion of participants meeting WBP responder criteria or OMERACT-OARSI responder criteria
Up to 56 weeks
Rescue Medication Use
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Proportion (%) of participants using rescue medication and amount of rescue medication consumed.
Up to 56 weeks
Incidence of Adverse Events, Laboratory Abnormalities, Vital Sign Abnormalities, and Physical Examination Findings [Safety Evaluation]
Time Frame: Up to 56 weeks
Incidence of adverse events, local adverse events, laboratory abnormalities, vital sign abnormalities, and physical examination findings.
Up to 56 weeks
