About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Study GoON and MRI Improvement in OA Knee

OA knee is a common degenerative diseases of the joint.

  • There are many methods to treat this condition.
  • Hyaluronic acid is one of the recomended treatment of OA knee.
  • There is no any study on MRI change after injection hyaluronic acid.
  • The Hypothesis is 25 mg of sodium hyaluronate (2.5 ml) would preserve the joint space in patient with osteoarthritis of the knee compared to placebo .
Read the detailed description

This will be the phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 52 weeks duration designed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium hyaluronate to placebo (saline), in adult with OA of the knee joints. Randomization will be stratified by Kellgren-Lawrence(KL) grade (garde2 or 3), by subjects X-ray. A total of 60 subjects are planed for enrollment in this study. The study will be conducted over approximately 52 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 25 mg sodium hyaluronate "GO ON" and normal saline,2 ml., intraarticular weekly for 5 weeks in people with Osteoarthritis, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MRI will be analysed with semiquantitative whole organ scoring method (WORMS) c (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 May 2010.
