About this study

Official title: A PHASE 3 RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, MULTICENTER STUDY OF THE ANALGESIC EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF THE SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF TANEZUMAB IN SUBJECTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE HIP OR KNEE

Tanezumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the actions of nerve growth factor (NGF). The Nerve Growth Factor Inhibitor (NGFI) class may offer an important breakthrough in the treatment of chronic pain and is under clinical investigation for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis or other chronic pain conditions.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superior efficacy of tanezumab 5 mg and 2.5 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) every 8 weeks versus placebo at Week 24 in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. The 2.5 mg dose was shown to provide efficacy benefits with a favorable safety profile when administered intravenously in previous Phase 3 clinical trials. The 5 mg dose is expected to provide added efficacy benefit over the 2.5 mg dose based on data from previous studies.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group multicenter Phase 3 study of the efficacy and safety of tanezumab when administered by SC injection for 24 weeks compared to placebo in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. A total of approximately 810 subjects will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio (ie, 270/group). The randomization will be stratified by index joint (hip or knee), and most severe Kellgren-Lawrence grade (of any knee or hip joint) at study entry (grade 2, 3 or 4). Subjects will receive up to three SC doses of one of the following treatments at an 8-week interval between each injection:

  1. tanezumab 2.5 mg;
  2. tanezumab 5 mg;
  3. Placebo to match tanezumab. The study is designed with a total (post-randomization) duration of 48 weeks and will consist of three periods: Screening (up to 37 days), Double-blind Treatment (24 weeks) and Safety Follow-up (24 weeks). The Screening Period (beginning up to 37 days prior to Randomization) includes a Washout Period (lasting a minimum of 2 days for all prohibited pain medications), if required, and an Initial Pain Assessment Period (the 7 days prior to Randomization/Baseline).

Week 24 is the landmark analysis in this study. Subjects who do not complete the Double-blind Treatment period will enter and complete the 24-week Early-termination follow-up period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale at Week 24

    WOMAC: Self-administered, disease-specific questionnaire which assesses clinically important, participant-relevant symptoms for pain, stiffness and physical function in participants with osteoarthritis (OA). The WOMAC pain subscale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to OA of index joint (knee or hip) during past 48 hours. It was calculated as the mean of scores from 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS). Scores for each question and WOMAC Pain subscale score on NRS ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Physical Function Subscale at Week 24

    WOMAC: Self-administered, disease-specific questionnaire which assesses clinically important, participant-relevant symptoms for pain, stiffness and physical function in participants with OA. Physical function refers to participant's ability to move around and perform usual activities of daily living. The WOMAC physical function subscale is a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the degree of difficulty experienced due to OA in index joint (knee or hip) during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from 17 individual questions scored on a NRS. Scores for each question and WOMAC physical function subscale score on NRS ranged from 0 (no difficulty) to 10 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicated extreme difficulty/worse physical function.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  3. Change From Baseline in the Patient's Global Assessment (PGA) of Osteoarthritis at Week 24

    PGA of OA was assessed by asking a question from participants: "Considering all the ways your osteoarthritis in your knee or hip (index joint) affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants responded on a scale ranging from 1-5, where 1=very good (no symptom and no limitation of normal activities), 2= good (mild symptoms and no limitation of normal activities), 3= fair (moderate symptoms and limitation of some normal activities), 4= poor (severe symptoms and inability to carry out most normal activities), and 5= very poor (very severe symptoms and inability to carry out all normal activities). Higher scores indicated worsening of condition.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

    Measurement of BP included sitting systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 48

  51. Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 48

    Heart rate was measured at sitting position.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12,16, 24, 32 and 48

  52. Change From Baseline in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters at Weeks 24 and 48

    A 12-lead ECG was recorded after participants had rested for at least 5 minutes in the supine position in a quiet environment. All standard intervals (PR, QRS, QT, QTcF, QTcB, QTcF, RR intervals) were collected.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 24 and 48

  53. Change From Baseline in Heart Rate (as Assessed by ECG) at Weeks 24 and 48

    Heart rate was measured at sitting position.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 24 and 48

  54. Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Joint Safety Outcomes

    Incidence of participants with any of the joint safety adjudication outcomes of primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive OA (type 1 and type 2), subchondral insufficiency fracture (or SPONK), or pathological fracture.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 48

  55. Percentage of Participants With Total Joint Replacements

    Percentage of participants who underwent at least one total knee, hip or shoulder joint replacement surgery.

  56. Number of Participants With Confirmed Orthostatic Hypotension

    Orthostatic hypotension was defined as postural change (supine to standing) that met the following criteria: For systolic BP <=150 mmHg (mean supine): Reduction in systolic BP>=20 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP>=10 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. For systolic BP >150 mmHg (mean supine): Reduction in systolic BP>=30 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP>=15 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. If the 1 minute or 3 minute standing BP in a sequence met the orthostatic hypotension criteria, then that sequence was considered positive. If 2 of 2 or 2 of 3 sequences were positive, then orthostatic hypotension was considered confirmed.

  57. Change From Baseline in Survey of Autonomic Symptom (SAS) Scores at Week 24

    The SAS is a 12 item (11 for females) questionnaire, from which the total number of symptoms (0-12 for males and 0-11 for females) is calculated. Each positive symptom is rated from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot). The total impact score was the sum of all symptom rating scores, with 0 assigned where the participant did not have the particular symptom. The range for the total impact score is 0-60 for males and 0-55 for females, higher scores indicating higher impact.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02709486, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 Jun 2019.
