This phase I/II study aims to evaluate the safety of single doses of 2ccPA 4,800 μg and 7,200 μg (Phase I), as well as the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of 2ccPA (Phase II) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease frequently associated with symptoms such as inflammation, stiffness, muscle weakness, joint swollen and joint pain. 2-carba-cyclic phosphatidic acid (2ccPA) is the derivative of natural occurring phospholipid mediator, cyclic phosphatidic acid (cPA). Previous studies suggested that 2ccPA inhibits inflammation and may relieve the pain caused by osteoarthritis. This phase I/II study aims to evaluate the safety of single doses of 2ccPA 4,800 μg and7,200 μg (Phase I), as well as the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of 2ccPA (Phase II) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

2-carba-cyclic phosphatidic acid (2ccPA) is a first-in-class phospholipase autotaxin (ATX) inhibitor that may act as a disease-modifying drug and may relieve OA associated symptoms. Phase I: 2 dose cohorts (4800μg, 7200μg) single dose at Day 1 Phase II: 3 dose cohorts (2400μg, 4800μg, 7200μg) multiple dose at Day 1, 15, 29
Phase I: 2 dose cohorts (4800μg, 7200μg) single dose at Day 1 Phase II: 3 dose cohorts (2400μg, 4800μg, 7200μg) multiple dose at Day 1, 15, 29

To define maximum tolerated dose (MTD) following the intra-articular (IA) administration of a single ascending dose (SAD) 2ccPA in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Time frame: 85 Days
To evaluate the safety of 2ccPA including incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).
Time frame: 85 Days
To evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of 2ccPA vs placebo in terms of changes in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) on Day 85
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) is a widely-used, proprietary outcome measurement tool used to evaluate the condition of subjects with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and hip, including pain (5 questions), stiffness (2 questions) and physical functioning (17 questions) of the joints. Each question is scored on a scale of 0-4, which corresponds to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).
Time frame: 85 Days
To evaluate the efficacy of 2ccPA vs placebo in terms of changes in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) on Day 15, 29, 57 and 168
WOMAC questionnaire consists of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: Pain (5 items), Stiffness (2 items), Physical Function (17 items). The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations.
Time frame: 85 Days
To evaluate the efficacy of 2ccPA vs placebo in terms of proportion of subjects with a 20% (WOMAC20), 50% (WOMAC50), and 70% (WOMAC70) improvement in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) on Days 15, 29, 57, 85 and 168
Time frame: 168 Days

To evaluate the efficacy of 2ccPA vs placebo in terms of pain assessed by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) on Days 15, 29, 57, 85 and 168.
NRS is an 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' indicating "no pain" to '10' indicating "extreme pain".
Time frame: 168 Days
