Trial Outcomes & Findings for AMZ001 for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms (NCT NCT03691844)

NCT ID: NCT03691844

Last Updated: 2020-10-06

Results Overview

Change from baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain sub-score (questions 1-5; score 0 \[no pain\]-50 \[extreme pain\]) on target knee. The WOMAC scores were normalized to a 0-100 point scale for data analysis, where higher scores indicate greater pain, stiffness or difficulty in performing daily tasks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, week 4

Population: The mITT (modified Intent to treat; N=120) population set includes subjects with a baseline and at least one post-treatment WOMAC pain sub-score and was used in statistical analysis for primary and secondary endpoint outcome measures.

Change in baseline in physical function assessed by the chair-stand test. The test measures the maximum number of chair stand repetitions possible in a 30-second period with out using the arms. Where 0 is no repetition completed and higher numbers corresponds to greater repetitions and physical function.

Outcome Measures in Rheumatology- Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) response involves changes that are deemed to be clinically relevant in three domains: pain, function, and PGA (Patient Global Assessment). For each of these domains, ranges are defined for absolute and percent changes from baseline that correspond to "high improvement" and "moderate improvement". OMERACT-OARSI response is defined as either high improvement in at least 1 of WOMAC pain and function scores OR moderate improvement in at least 2 of WOMAC pain scores, WOMAC function score or Patient Global Assessment (PGA)

Change from baseline in work productivity and activity assessed by the Work Productivity and Active Impairment (WPAI scores 0-100% in four different categories: absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, and activity impairment). Outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, week 4

Population: The mITT (modified Intent to treat; N=120) population set includes subjects with a baseline and at least one post-treatment WOMAC pain sub-score and was used in statistical analysis for primary and secondary endpoint outcome measures.

The EuroQol-5 Domain (EQ-5D) is a standardized generic measure of health-related quality of life. The visual analog scale (VAS) is scored on a 0-100 scale, where 0 is "the worst health you can imagine" and 100, "the best health you can imagine".

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: baseline, week 4

Population: Post-hoc statistical analyses were performed for the comparison of each of the AMZ001 regimens vs placebo and between the two AMZ001 regimens. Sub-group of subjects meeting the WOMAC pain sub-score inclusion criterion at both screening and baseline.

Change from baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain sub-score (questions 1-5; score 0 \[no pain\]-50 \[extreme pain\]) on target knee. The WOMAC scores were normalized to a 0-100 point scale for data analysis. The WOMAC scores were normalized to a 0-100 point scale for data analysis, where 0 is no pain and higher scores indicate greater pain, stiffness or difficulty in performing daily tasks.

Population: Post-hoc statistical analyses were performed for the comparison of each of the AMZ001 regimens vs placebo and between the two AMZ001 regimens. Sub-group of subjects meeting the WOMAC pain sub-score inclusion criterion at both screening and baseline.

Change from baseline in Western Ontario McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score and WOMAC function (degree of difficulty experienced in performing daily activities - 17 questions score 0-170) and stiffness (the degree and timing of joint stiffness - 2 questions score 0-20) . The WOMAC scores were normalized to a 0-100 point scale for data analysis, where 0 is no pain and higher scores indicate greater pain, stiffness or difficulty in performing daily tasks.
