The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of EP-104IAR in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single injection, 24-week study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and PK of EP-104IAR in subjects with osteoarthritis knee pain Following screening and baseline assessments to determine eligibility, each participant will receive a single IA injection of either EP-104IAR or placebo (vehicle). Participants will be followed up for 24 weeks following the injection for safety, PK and efficacy assessments.

Difference in Change From Baseline Between EP-104IAR and Vehicle in WOMAC Pain Subscale
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale (scores scaled 0-10, with 10 being the worst). Least squares mean from a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) for change from baseline with fixed effects for site, treatment, week, treatment-by-week interaction; random effect for subject; and covariate baseline WOMAC pain score.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Difference in Change From Baseline Between EP-104IAR and Vehicle in WOMAC Function Subscale
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) function subscale (scores scaled 0-10, with 10 being the worst). Function subscale includes questions related to the physical functioning of osteoarthritis e.g. stair use, standing, walking etc. From a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) for change from baseline with fixed effects for site, treatment, week, treatment-by-week interaction; random effect for subject; and covariate baseline WOMAC function score.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Difference Between EP-104IAR and Vehicle in the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of WOMAC Pain Subscale
Area under the curve in change from baseline Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale (scores scaled 0-10, with 10 being the worst) from Week 0 to Week 12 was calculated on a per-individual basis using the linear trapezoidal rule. AUC was normalized to account for subjects whose actual days and nominal days at Week 12 differed. Treatments were compared using an ANCOVA model containing site; individual baseline WOMAC Pain; and treatment group as covariates.

Difference Between EP-104IAR and Vehicle in OMERACT-OARSI Strict Responders
Outcome Measures in Rheumatology-Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) strict responders are defined as at least 50% improvement (decrease from baseline) in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain or function subscales (scores scaled 0-10, with 10 being the worst) and an absolute change of at least 2 in the respective score. Patients who discontinued prior to Week 12 were considered non-responders.
Time frame: 12 weeks
