This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo controlled trial to compare the safety and effectiveness of a single injection of Cingal® to a single injection of Triamcinolone Hexacetonide (TH) to achieve pain relief and other symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee.
To determine the contribution of Triamcinolone Hexacetonide (TH) when combined with sodium hyaluronate for pain relief, both in terms of magnitude and duration, when used as single injection, as compared to a single injection of TH alone in subjects diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee. A saline placebo is included within the trial to set the expectation of a return to Baseline pain for the subjects.

Change From Baseline in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Score
The change from Baseline in knee pain post-treatment as measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Score comparing the Cingal arm to the TH arm, the Cingal arm to the Placebo arm, and the TH arm to the Placebo arm. WOMAC Pain is a validated 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 mm = No Pain to 100 mm = Highest Pain Level. A negative value for the change from Baseline indicates improvement in the WOMAC Pain Score, i.e. less pain post-treatment. A larger negative value indicates lower pain levels and a better outcome.

The Outcomes Measures for Rheumatic Arthritis Clinical Trials-Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) Responder Index
The post-treatment responder rate is determined through a calculation defined by the Outcomes Measures for Rheumatic Arthritis Clinical Trials-Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) Responder Index. The OMERACT-OARSI Responder Index reports the percentage of subjects that met the criteria to be a good responder to treatment. The criteria for response are (1) improvement in pain or physical function \>50% and an absolute change \>20 mm; or (2) improvement of \>20% with an absolute change \>10 mm in at least of the following three categories: pain, physical function, and patient's global assessment. A higher percentage of subjects responding indicates a better outcome. OMERACT-OARSI responder rates were compared between the Cingal, TH and Placebo arms.

Change From Baseline in Knee Pain as Measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score
Change in knee pain was obtained from participant responses using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score at each time point. This VAS scale ranged from 0 mm = No Pain to 100 mm = Highest Pain Level. A negative value for the change in pain indicates less pain post-treatment. A larger negative value indicates a higher level of improvement, and a better outcome.
Time frame: 26 Weeks
Change From Baseline in Knee Pain as Measured by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score
Change in knee pain was obtained from participant responses using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Score. This NRS Pain Score ranged from 0 = No Pain to 10 = Highest Pain Level. A negative value for the change in Pain Score indicates less pain post-treatment. A larger negative value indicates a higher level of improvement, and a better outcome.

The EGA Score is a validated 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 mm = No Pain to 100 mm = Extreme Pain. A negative value for the change from Baseline indicates improvement in EGA Score. A larger negative value indicates less pain, and a better clinical outcome.

The Usage of Rescue Medication (Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) at 26 Weeks
The usage of Rescue Medication (RM) as based on the average number of acetominophen/paracetamol pills taken among participants at 26 Weeks post treatment comparing between the Cingal, Triamcinolone Hexacetonide (TH) and Placebo arms. A smaller value in average RM indicates that fewer pills were taken by the participants, which may correlate to a better clinical outcome in terms of pain.
