  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in index knee pain with walking [Baseline through Week 12]

      Change in the weekly mean of Average Daily Pain (ADP) scores in the index knee, using the 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Area under the curve (AUC) change in average pain in the index knee [Baseline through Week 12]

      AUC calculated on change in the average pain in the index knee over the previous 24 hours, using the NPRS (0-10)

    2. Change in index knee pain with walking [Baseline through Week 26]

      Change in the weekly mean of ADP scores in the index knee, using the NPRS (0-10)

    3. AUC change in average pain in the index knee [Baseline through Week 26]

      AUC calculated on change in the average pain in the index knee over the previous 24 hours, using the NPRS (0-10)

    4. Duration of effect of a single injection in the index knee [Baseline through return to Baseline]

      Time to return to baseline pain score, based on weekly average NPRS (0-10) scores

    5. Change in index knee pain, stiffness, and physical function [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score

    6. Change in the average pain in the index knee [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in the WOMAC A pain subscale

    7. Change in the average stiffness in the index knee [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in the WOMAC B function subscale

    8. Change in the average function in the index knee [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in the WOMAC C stiffness subscale

    9. Change in index knee pain with walking [Baseline through Week 52]

      Change in the weekly mean of ADP scores in the index knee, using the NPRS (0-10)

    10. AUC change in average pain in the index knee [Baseline through Week 52]

      AUC calculated on change in the average pain in the index knee over the previous 24 hours, using the NPRS (0-10)

    11. Change in quality of life (QOL) - SF-36 Health Survey [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in QOL as measured by the SF-36 Health Survey

    12. Change in quality of sleep [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in quality of sleep as measured by the MOS Sleep Scale

    13. Patient Global Impression of Change [At Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Rating of change in index knee pain using the PGIC scale

    14. Change in QOL - EQ-5D-5L [Baseline through Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52]

      Change in QOL as measured by the EQ-5D-5L
