Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale at Week 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)
WOMAC: self-administered, disease-specific questionnaire which assesses clinically important, participant-relevant symptoms in participants with osteoarthritis of knee. WOMAC pain subscale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in the index knee during past 48 hours. It is calculated as mean of the scores from 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale of 0 (minimum pain) to 10 (maximum pain), where higher scores indicate more pain. An overall possible WOMAC pain subscale score range is of 0 (minimum pain) to 10 (maximum pain), where higher scores indicate more pain.

Change From Baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Physical Function Subscale at Week 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)
WOMAC: self-administered, disease-specific questionnaire which assesses clinically important, participant-relevant symptoms in participants with osteoarthritis of knee. WOMAC physical function subscale is a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the degree of difficulty experienced due to osteoarthritis in index knee joint during past 48 hours. It is calculated as mean of the scores from 17 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale of 0 (minimum difficulty) to 10 (maximum difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty. An overall possible WOMAC physical function subscale score range is of 0 (minimum difficulty) to 10 (maximum difficulty), where higher scores indicate worse function. Physical function refers to participant's ability to move around and perform usual activities of daily living.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in Patient Global Assessment of Osteoarthritis at Week 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)
Participants answered: "Considering all the ways the osteoarthritis in your index knee affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants responded on the scale ranging from 1 (minimum affected) to 5 (maximum affected), where 1= very good, 2= good, 3= fair, 4= poor and 5= very poor. Higher scores indicate worse condition.
