This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind clinical investigation to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG-OA) and a hyaluronic acid, Synvisc-One to induce symptomatic benefit in subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
The trial is designed as a multi-center, randomised, controlled, double-blind, and parallel-group trial spanning over 12 months with outcome assessments at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months incl. follow-up period between 2-5 years. Primary endpoint at 6 months. The trial is designed to compare effectiveness and safety of injection of PAAG-OA and Synvisc-One® in participants with knee OA.

Comparing one injection of PAAG-OA with one injection of Synvisc-One on pain over 6 months in subjects with knee osteoarthritis
Change in WOMAC (WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index) pain subscale. Pain is reported in each of five response categories (0=none, 4=extreme)
Time frame: 6 months
WOMAC
WOMAC (WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index) self reported pain, stiffness and physical function, categories (0=none, 4=extreme)
Time frame: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months
PGA (Patient Global Assessment)
PGA reported on a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale
Time frame: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months
EQ-5D-5L, QoL
EQ-5D-5L, Quality of Life, comprised of descriptive system where each dimension has 5 levels (ranging from no problems to extreme problems) and a 20 cm Visual Analogue Scale (0 = worst health and 100 = best health)
Time frame: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months
OMERACT-OARSI responder criteria
Per the OMERACT-OARSI criteria, a subject is classified as a positive responder if at least one (1) of the following two (2) conditions is observed at the post-baseline assessment: * In either pain (WOMAC pain subscale) or function (WOMAC function subscale), a high improvement in the subscale, where high improvement in a subscale is achieved if there is both a \> 50% improvement from Baseline and an absolute change from Baseline of \> 20 normalised units (0-100 scale) OR * Improvement in at least two (2) of the following three (3): 1. Improvement in pain (WOMAC pain subscale) defined as \> 20% improvement from Baseline and an absolute change from Baseline of \> 10 (0-100 scale) 2. Improvement in function (WOMAC function subscale) defined as \> 20% improvement from Baseline and an absolute change from Baseline of \> 10 (0-100 scale) 3. Improvement in PGA defined as \> 20% improvement from Baseline and an absolute change from Baseline of \> 10 mm (0-100 sc
