About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled, Efficacy and Safety Clinical Trial of Topically Applied OLT1177 Gel in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Pain Associated With Osteoarthritis of the Knee Following Cessation of Pain Therapy

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of OLT1177 Gel in subjects with moderate to severe pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee following cessation of pain therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, repeat-dose, multi-center Phase 2 efficacy and safety clinical trial of subjects with moderate to severe pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. Eighty-four subjects, randomized in a 2:1 ratio (OLT1177 Gel to vehicle control) will receive up to 40 doses of the Investigational Drug (56 subjects OLT1177 Gel and 28 subjects vehicle control) over 14 consecutive days given 3 times per day (4 mL per dose, TID on Days 1 - 13 with only one dose administered on Day 14, assuming TID on Day 1) and will have safety data collected through Day 28. Subjects with moderate to severe pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee will be evaluated twice for eligibility: 1) at the Screening visit; and 2) at the Baseline (Day 0) visit, after a 7-day washout period of all pain medications except for trial provided Rescue Medication (500 mg/dose of acetaminophen) for those that experience unacceptable pain during the washout and 14-day treatment period.

Subjects will be encouraged not to take any pain medication during the 7-day washout period; however, for the first 5 days they are allowed to take only Rescue Medication. No pain medication, including Rescue Medication, is allowed during the 2-day pain intensity assessment period or within 48 hours of the Baseline (Day 0), Day 7 and Day 14 visits.

Subjects will be asked to record and report their level of pain at different time points throughout the 14-day trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OLT1177 Gel in people with Osteoarthritis of the Knee, run by Olatec Therapeutics, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 47 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 6 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Change in WOMAC knee pain subscale (scale 0 - 20) (time frame: 14 days). 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 6 Oct 2014.
